Danceable jazz recordings, any recommendations?
Much of Duke Ellington's stuff was written with swing in mind. Try Ella Fitzgerald - The Ellington Songbook. 
I need help with getting monies back
Lhunsic:Presumably, if you were the shipper and you purchased the insurance, you had the right at the time of shipping to dictate terms of delivery. So, if they have a release of signature on file, that release had to be signed by you to permit th... 
Methods for transfer of albums to CD
Sidssp:do you (or does anybody else) know of software for a pc that will burn a 24/96 wav file onto a dvd in dvd-a format? 
Methods for transfer of albums to CD
Check out the Card Deluxe by Digital Audio Labs. It's great and can be gotten for under $400. 
Too much / too little power "over-drive" speaker?
Joeb,When we say an amp has 500 Watts, we only mean that it is capable of dishing out up to 500 Watts when called for by the source. What's more, volume alone doesn't directly relate to power (Watts). (A bass tone at normal volume may demand more ... 
Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?
Creeper, It's been my experience that for certain items, ebay bidders pay way too much. I sold a Rega P25 on Ebay for about $50 more than I paid on Audiogon. I did not advertise it on A'gon at all, but maybe I should have in order to get more bidd... 
Am I assuming too Much?
Yes, it is a proper assumption. I went through exactly the same process, expecting to use my tt only to copy lp to cd. Now I have a Linn LP12/Ekos/BenzMicro Glider. I still understand the benefits of CD, but I am so thrilled with the sound of viny... 
rock/jazz fusion
Try Miles Davis: Bitches Brew and A Tribute to Jack Johnson 
amp preference...Plinius or Pass labs
I have to disagree with the above statement that "the Plinius is a pain if you need service." I have a Plinius 8200, and, although not the same as the SA 100, I have had very good experiences with the US service - very accessible, good work and a ... 
19th Nervous Breakdown...
I'm using a Benz-Micro Glider L2. I also decided on an Ekos II I located. The graham was tempting, but it would also require a new armboard. I'm getting the Ekos for about $1200 less and I can pop it right in to where my Akito was. 
Sound Cards
Eric,1. Yes, depopping can be as simple as hitting a button. What I mean is that most software packages come with a depop utility. All you need to decide is how much depop you want to apply: Less removes less of the pops and clicks, but will have ... 
Sound Cards
Ehart, I use the DAL Card Deluxe and I only do vinyl restoration. I do not use it for any other purpose, except for playing occasional audio files on the web. Here's my take on your questions. Bear in mind that there will be a lot of different opi... 
Dell purchase
Tubegroover, When a computer reads a data cd, the spin and head do not necessarily need to be highly coordinated. This is because if the drive misses a reading a bit, it can just wait until the cd spins to the correct location again to get it. Whe... 
Dell purchase
Tubegroover,I strongly suspect your problem is your software settings. I have made a zillion music cd dupes on perhaps six different machines with components made in Mexico, Singapore, China, Brazil, Malaysia, Korea, etc. I invariably have a few p... 
Dell purchase
I use a dell and I have been doing quite a bit of vinyl recording, with great results. (Of course, I still prefer to listen to the vinyl!)It has always been my contention that the cdr burner is of little importance. Either it will work correctly o...
