| Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic? Didn't I read somewhere recently -- where could it have been? -- that Stereophile now has a swimsuit issue? | |
| Best Audio Store Name? Sound by Singer. Always thought someone should open up a Sound by Guitarist to compete. | |
| Are there new players with HDCD? Thanks for the responses. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Interesting thoughts. First, though, a question: How did you end up getting the long post accepted after first having had it rejected? | |
| System Placement Question How about switching to a big pair of Class-A monoblock amplifiers -- Krells come to mind -- and then turning off the radiator, leaving the amps to heat your place? Just a thought. | |
| 40 songs on 2 records? I remember a sticker on "Get Happy!" a fabulous early '80s record by Elvis Costello and The Attractions, boasting that the record contained "20 Hits! 20!" (Or something quite like that.) Yup. Ten per side of vinyl. Many of 'em, most of 'em, actual... | |
| What DACs are "reclocking"? I asked this question because of a post regarding Apple's Airport Express. Poster was told he'd improve things by getting a reclocking DAC. What, I wondered, are those. (I stream to an AE, and have a Cambridge Audio Dacmagic.) Perhaps I should hav... | |
| The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo??? I've got both, but I most definitely find that I play the mono discs more often. If you do go for the mono box, you'll need to pick up "Abbey Road" and "Let it Be," as The Beatles didn't release mono mixes of those records. | |
| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? If CDs had sounded this good from the beginning, I wouldn't have so much vinyl. | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? It would have to depend on how much positive feedback the amp has received, wouldn't it? (Sorry -- a little Audiogon sales joke there.) | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it Welcome back, my friends, to the thread that never ends ...Come inside, the show's about to start! | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it "Another Side of Bob Dylan," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," and most of Mr. Zimmerman's catalogue post "Blood on the Tracks." | |
| What am I missing? Americana? If you really like Ryan Adams' "Heartbreaker," I'd suggest you pick up "Demolition," which is nothing at all like his first solo effort, but a damn good record, "Love is Hell," a fabulous Ryan Adams disc that the label didn't know what to do with,... | |
| Music vs. Components Not sure what you mean by "music." I've got some test tones and warbles and pink noise. I listen to those over and over and over and over. Then I change a component and listen some more. When I finally get this right, I'll buy a recording with som... | |
| Are line-out jacks needed to use an ADC? Thanks very much, Al. You answered my last question, too, which I also much appreciated.-- Howard |
