tablejockey, I like the Ella, 'Harold Arlen Songbook Volume 2' from that time period. I run hot and cold with Ella. I had a copy of 'Like Someone In Love' and the portamento was off. Then I figured out that the string section was recorded first an...

bdp24, I'll look into on my end. I would make the assumption that if they were offered individually, that they'd be available online. I can ask someone I know at one of the record stores here. Anyway, thanks for clarifying and I'll look into it fu...

bdp24, sorry about the confusion. I know I've heard those albums but it was so long ago I cannot remember. It would be preferable if I could buy those two mono records separately. Same with the Rolling Stones mono box set. I want the Decca Between...

bdp24, I was disappointed with the Beatles mono remasters but I had a different cartridge then so maybe I should try Rubber Soul again. I have the MOFI Dylan on cd, it's exceptional. Do you know if there's a good mono pressing of 'Odyssey and Orac...

Speakers with a slightly warm midrange
Quad 57's.  
Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
I believe Steinway speakers are around the 28 K range.

The Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs remaster of 'Hooker and Heat'. Featuring John Lee Hooker on vocals and Canned Heat on instrumentals. Blind Al Wilson plays some great guitar licks and blows the harmonica like his life depends on it. it's a three rec... 
MM vs MC Cartridges
I’m dealing with the situation but I’m helping a friend with his vinyl rig and I believe a low output cartridge would be too much of a challenge for his Rega phono amp.  So, how about medium output cartridges? I know they’re out there. Can people ... 
Doping your fuse box
I have Akiko products. They work but I rent and share a house so messing with the electrical is not an option. Especially given that my neighbor below me is the landlord. Goal Zero makes a very good sounding rechargeable battery driven generator....
