| Supertramp Donjr - if you like Supertramp, I think you will like both Open the Door and Eye of the Storm. I probably prefer EotS a little more than OtD but that is based on just 1 listen to each. Recordings (Lp and CD) both seem a little "hot" (emphasized tr... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos FWTW...my impressions on first listen to "Sunken Condos": impeccable musicianship, arrangements, & production - but the songs? Kind of boring w/the exception of "Out of the Ghetto" (Isaac Hayes)and maybe, "Slinky Thing". Of course, quite often... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos MoFi - thanks for the heads up. I did not know but will be ordering immediately. | |
| In need of a powercord I just got some Pangea AC-9s (not the SEs) for Cyber 800 mono blocks. Out of the box, I heard improvement over the generic 14 AWG cords I had been using. Can't say how they will work in your Adcom but Audio Advisor has a 30 day return policy so mi... | |
| Your worst gaffes I don't feel so all alone now. Minor by comparison. Recently, I couldn't understand why things were sounding so "mono". Listening to a well known CD. Shocked to hear part of the music MIA. Almost like 1 track of a 4 track mix was no longer being p... | |
| Looking for hi value CD/SACD player... Thanks folks. Appreciate the input. As I continued my research, I came across the Marantz 8004. Sounds like a really nice piece. I'll check out the other suggestions as well (I had a Cambridge Audio D500SE for many years. Pulled it out to help che... | |
| Supertramp Well, I will let you you know, Don. Ordered a used "like new" CD (pricey!)of Open The Door from Amazon and a factory sealed vinyl version of Eye of the Storm off Ebay. Had listened to some samples and for me many had the same vibe that I liked whe... | |
| I would advise to avoid amazon for vinyl purchases Recent vinyl purchased through Amazon (Metheny/Haden "80/81" Import) and shipped by "The Connection" seems just great to me. I would buy vinyl through Amazon again. | |
| Supertramp Hey all (again, good thread started by Donjr). I'm wondering if any of you have followed Roger Hodgson's solo work. I think I prefer his contributions to Supertramp vs those from Davies. Expect I will order "Eye of the Storm" and "Open the Door". ... | |
| Supertramp Another Supertramp fan here. The LP that did it for me, "Even in the Quietest Moments". The title track & 'Fool's Overture' are favorites from that. ("There's a lot of me got to go under before I get high." - profoundly true in so many ways.) ... | |
| Tube Amps from China The Jolida company you want is Michael Allen's Jolida out of MD (see Jolida.com; avoid Jolida.net). He's the designer, production is in China, finishing in the States. A 502B was my intro to tubes over 10 years ago. I really enjoyed it. Not sure w... | |
| Tempest, revisited Hey Donjr - I think you posted a Dylan thread a short while ago. Got very little support on it as I recall. Sorry 'bout that. My history with Dylan goes back a ways. Not someone I liked all that much from the get go. I used to lift weights with my... | |
| Servicing Technics SP10 w/Audiocraft Arm in N.J. You are in luck. Check out KAB Electro Acoustics (Kevin Barret) in Plainfield, NJ. He is an expert on Technics tables. See the KAB Electro Acoustics site on-line. | |

| Tempest, revisited Rpeluso - very surprising to me how readily some here dismiss Dylan. Glad you are enjoying Tin Angel. |
