| It Might Get Load - documentary the sequel is 'It Might Get Diapers'. | |
| Anti Cables to join my system, are they enough? Here's an interesting comparo - A buddy lent me a pair of Nordost Flatline Gold speaker cables to try. I put them in this morning, replacing my Anti-Cables, and I don't like the change. The bass is less punchy and the overall soundstage is less de... | |
| Small Classical Ensemble with Double Bass? I was able to track down the Rossini, the Dvorak and I have the Onslow on order. The Rossini in particular is lovely, if a bit light. BTW www.arkivmusic.com is a fantastic resource. | |
| Krell primer? Thanks for all the great information. Can anyone tell me what pre-amps they're using with their FPBs? Anyone using a tube pre? I want to build detail, but not brightness or harshness. For that matter, what cables?Thanks! | |
| What's your favorite Turntable tweak? It's not a turntable tweek per se, but if you don't already use one get yourself a record cleaner - VPI or some such. You have no idea how grubby your vinyl is until you use one. | |
| Distortion on Giant Steps? This is a great album but an unfortunately mediocre recording. By contrast, the 45RPM reissue of Blue Trane is not to be beaten. | |
| Garrard 301 or 401? the 401 is ugly as sin, if that's an issue for you. | |
| Dizzy Gillespie, "Portrait of Jenny" Just to follow up - I received the record today and it is indead a modern re-issue, and not a very good pressing at that. Sounds like a multi-generational source - very muddy. However, the music is terrific. It was a Van Gelder recording so I susp... | |
| Krell KCT question It is possible that if the bass is tighter and more well defined it might seem like "less"? Sometimes muddy bass can make it sound fuller than it really is. | |
| Anti Cables to join my system, are they enough? I've got anti-wires to my speakers and they were a big improvement over the audioquest wires I had before. At the time it sounded like someone had windexed my speakers. I'm sure there are better cables out there, but for $100 a pair they're at lea... | |
| How large is your music collection? I've got about 1000 cds - although I have sold stuff off over the years - and probably about 300 albums. Storage is on the verge of becoming an issue though. | |
| Dizzy Gillespie, "Portrait of Jenny" I found someone with a sealed vinyl copy. probably a re-issue and lord only knows what that will sound like, but it was cheap enough. Can always get the CD later if its really horrible, or keep my eyes open for an original. Thanks! | |
| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? Zero-dust is good for taking schmutz off the stylus, but its not a substitute for a good periodic wet cleaning. | |
| Bass Clarinet Recordings Incidently, I did see that David Murry had a record out called "Ballads for Bass Clarinet", also on the DIW label, but its out of print and used copies on Amazon START at $50. If anyone has a copy they'd be willing to part with for a more reasonab... | |
| Pass X.5 heat Alright. I guess I can scratch that one off the list of contenders. Thanks guys! |
