Rok2id, he was just improvising, trying to find his own style. No worries.

Overgrading is common on ebay and I think getting worse. But not everyone does that, besides, some records are difficult to grate accurately. Original pressings in NM condition should be expensive, pay or leave.

Orpheus10, I can't say I like that Japanese sort of jazzy new age, though there are a few brief moments. By the way, masterless samurai is no longer a samurai. Some of those became ninjas, others landlords, masters themselves, and then some of the...

A few generations time does not change that, ask Orpheus10.Better argument - what about Iranians and Indians who apparently haven't lost home, their music doesn't exist without improvisation ?We can speculate. What I said was in fact an invitation...

" My brother ! " means my family, my family means my home. Both black people in America and Gypsy lost their home, not on their own will. When you improvise it is as if you are trying to find the right notes. In time it becomes a habit, a compulsi...

Orpheus10, they are not dead, they live in you, your memories and your music. Yes, we are much more than we may think, it is just often difficult to access and articulate, make it more present and create this oneness.Try album Suspended Memories -...

I always thought that Paco de Lucia and Al di Meola do not really match well. McLaughlin, as a leader of the trio, in most cases smoothed things out and bound them together. Find their performance in Germany in the year 1981, I guess. They perform... 
Two Subs v One for a Big Room for 2-Channel Audio?
If you take a look at some super high-end set-ups, there are always two identical subs or separate 'bass speakers', and they are not always in the corners. Gryphon top of the line system comes to mind. It is designed to be able to handle largest s... 
I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable.
One more thing. Tonearm cable. It is the most important cable in the chain, again don't save on it and don't rush with the choice.

Ralph, I hope you are wrong about your turntable's imminent defeat. Don't surrender easily.It is difficult to choose a turntable, difficult to audition in the same or at least similar system. Difficult to advise too, that's why I didn't really.The...
