| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Macrojack - Thank you so much for that post. Gosh, I laughed out loud. Great points made. | |
| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... I have avoided revisiting my original post in expectation of many ungracious comments. In reality, those have been fewer than expected. I am relieved to see that someone "gets it". Mechans has provided a very eloquent articulation of my position. ... | |
| Phoebe Snow has died. Listened to D Fagen's NY Rock & Soul Revue the other night. Phoebe is on that. What a dynamite voice. | |
| Zappa question Check out "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" and the track, Orange County Lumber Truck. Also, the movie soundrack recording from "2000 Motels". Frank was a genious. Glad "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" clicked for you. It has long been a favorite of mine. I love A... | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... G m c - Thanks for the link...informative. But talk about chutzpah!...$300 bucks for something with dodgey source? Probably not going there. I think I'll gamble on a remastered CD. | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time Glad to see this thread pop back up from 2004. Was not aware of it. Very much agree with those nominating "The Wild, The Innocent...". I'm listening to "The Bends" right now. Didn't realize it was a sophomore release. Just getting into Radiohead o... | |
| EL34 vs 6CA7 vs KT77 Mtb ww - I have compared Winged C EL34s to EH 6CA7s in Cyber Consonance 800SE monoblocks. To my ear, listening to Totem Forest speakers, the Winged Cs seem to have a little more warmth and possibly a tad more bass depth but the EHs seem to present... | |
| DIY record cleaning solution recipe needed re isopropyl alcohol...avoid "rubbing alcohol". | |

| Most achingly-beautiful music OK - so there's not one, top of the heap "most achingly beautiful"...many great recommendations as a result. A couple of things I'm listening to lately that seem to qualify for inclusion:1) 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) from Springsteen's "The ... | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... Achilles - I've heard the Katy Lied LP on various systems over many years dating from time of release. It always seemed muddy and compressed to me. Your comments seem to explain why. Thanks for your reply. | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... Thanks for the recommendations, folks. Hunting for old vinyl is fun. | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... Ric - That seems like a pretty obscure release for 8 track. Wonder how many of those got sold. Thanks for the tip. Hey Bill - where does MCA fall in the history of SD vinyl releases? 2nd gen crap re-issues? My "Royal Scam" is ABC 1976. "Gaucho" (a... | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... Thanks for the (mostly) helpful advice. Bill - I have SD on old vinyl...will have to pull them out. Not sure if they are original or re-issues. Ric - don't have "You Gotta Walk It...". Never heard of it but just googled and see it is the first wor... | |
