| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? Chasmal - couldn't disagree more and find yours an amazing comment since in the view of many they changed music history. | |
| Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing? In the main, I probably agree with the OP...however, with respect to legitimate double LPs...Jimi Hendrix' "Electric Ladyland" as mentioned by Oregon.Genesis, "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". The Beatles, "White Album"...ok, this is subject to de... | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound I'll not get into that whole CD vs vinyl thing. I play and enjoy both. If you want a very listenable CDP (universal even) see what David Schulte has at The Upgrade Company. I'm liking very much the mod'd Denon I bought from him. | |
| Do you ever wonder? Good one, Bill. You are the provocateur el suprimo.I don't agree with all on your list but that isn't your point. The band I don't get is "Cowboy Junkies". I have tried and tried to catch the buzz on them. Great arrangements - yes. Great recording... | |
| Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Davis's Kind of Blue Check out stuff that falls under the category "Hard Bop". I think that will get you where you want to go. (lots of good suggestions in the above, however). | |
| Bob Dylan Regarding, "Tell Tale Signs"...Picked it up at WalMart (2 CD box) yesterday. Got to say, after listening two nights in a row to only the first disc...this is REALLY good. Very well recorded. More importantly, his unreleased tracks to my mind are a... | |
| Bob Dylan "So, what would be Dylans best???"Wow...that's tough. This guy has recorded so much, I don't see how to pick a "best"...personal favorites, maybe. For me, probably, "John Wesley Harding", "Blood on the Tracks", "Time Out of Mind", and his latest, ... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? Inman29I'm with you on the vermouth...just wave the bottle over the glass. Practically speaking, if you must, add a capful to an empty glass, swirl and dump. Add vodka next (preferably at cryogenic temps) + 3 great, fat skewered Queen size olives.... | |
| Bob Dylan Hi Max - I'm a big Los Lobos fan so was happy to see David Hidalgo in the credits. I think that accordion sound throughout has a lot to do with what "makes" TTL what it is. Went to BB today in search of Tell Tale Signs...not in stock, unfortunatel... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? My #2 choice if I can't get Svedka is Luksusowa (Polish Potato Vodka). | |
| Bob Dylan Max Pain - Thanks for the post. I'd avoided that release because I thought it was just recycled stuff. Bob doesn't really need more of my $. Hadn't read up on it on-line, however, only saw it in the store. Lately, been listening a ton to "Together... | |

| Clipping Great...I should have added, listen with your ear quite close to the tweeter(s) to hear the distortion. When I had a problem the sustained instrumental notes and choir voices in the intro would break up at moderate volumes. But I really needed to ... | |
| Clipping If you have it, Peter Gabriel's "So" contains a great test track that I've used to identify a clipping-damaged tweeter (been there, done that, more than once). Check out Track 8, "We Do What We're Told". No need to listen to all of it...the openin... | |
| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? I've been using the Magic Eraser since reading Dougdeacon's post. As so many others have said, it works very well. I follow the ME with brushing using a dry stylus cleaning brush (Disc Washer, I think). One modification that may help prevent snagg... |
