moody blues vs rock hall of fame
I'd put Question of Balance and To Our Children's Children's Children right up there, too. 
moody blues vs rock hall of fame
The Moodies are a great band and should have been inducted a long time ago. 
BADA DC-222 any good starter mods?
I've got the Bada hybrid headphone amp, insanely good, dynamic sound, responds really well to NOS Sylvanias and RCAs, actually sounds quite good with stock Chinese tubes. My Bada has been hot rodded with Herbies Halo tube dampers, Xtreme AV Quicks...

Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions?
Demagnetizing interconnects works pretty well, too, yet I kind of doubt there's anything magnetic in interconnects. Are we missing something?~ Cheerio 
Phase inverting problem
Tbg - dunno how many or which players invert polarity. I dunno why either, but I don't think they do it on purpose. Maybe they are like recording engineers and just donl;t think about it. Some speakers must be made on Monday since occassionally yo... 
Phase inverting problem
Unfortunately, some CD players invert polarity and some don't. Some other electronic components invert polarity and some don't. Some speakers have improperly wired driver(s). And cabling is sometimes connected incorrectly, L to R. Thus, even if a ... 
Phase inverting problem
No, recording engineers wouldn't invert polarity or compress the sound. How do you check your system for correct polarity? - Use a disc with "correct polarity," of course? Ha Ha Ha 
Phase inverting problem
True or False? The absolute polarity of about 50% of all home audio systems is the reverse of the other 50%. 
Phase inverting problem
Half of all media are phase incorrect anyway, so you will still have a signal out of the speakers that's incorrect in phase (polarity) half the time whether the system is phase/polarity correct. There is no standard for polarity in media.Cheers 
Anyone use CD tweaks
One of my favs is three 1 inch strips of black plastic tape on the label side arranged like spokes of a wheel. 
Coupling or de-coupling stand mounted ls3/5a
I suspended my LS3/5As from the ceiling once. I suspect the speakers like to be allowed to breath, including placement well away from walls, and be at the proper height. Everything else requires careful experimentation. 
Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's
Matjet - The Mothership CD illustrates that Jimmy Page knows what Zeppelin is supposed to sound like and knows how to obtain it on CD. Of course people have their own opinions on these matters, that's what makes the world go 'round. And the origin... 
Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's
If any version can beat the Page-remastered Zeppelin Mothership CD that came out a couple years back I'd be extremely surprised. The DVD that came with it is strictly unbelieveable. 
Song covers that are better than the originals
The Ramones' cover of the Stones' classic, Out of Time.
