| Any suggestions for good obscure music? Hey Groovey = You hit on two of my all time favorites: Sharkey's Day - If you haven't yet, check out Laurie's collection titled, "You're the Guy I Want to Share my Money With", including a couple by Buroughs. Hard to find, and more spoken pieces t... | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? Marco I was hoping you would address my comment on demagnetizing a CD-R audio disk after recording on it. Why would spinning it in my Bedini Clarifier degrade the sound? Any thoughts....I've never thought to even try that. I stopped using my Bedi... | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? From the Supermedia Store site here is a link to detect real from fake Taiyo Yuden media.Marco | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? These are the Disc made in Japan. Maxell and Sony made by Taiyo Yuden. You can no longer be certain that media from Maxell and Sony is genuine Taiyo Yuden media (definitely an excelent manufacturer). I've bought Sony DVD media that I discovered wa... | |
| Small - but GOOD - active speakers for MC Hmm, any idea where one could get ATC actives here in the U.S.? I'm in the greater Philadelphia area.They do show up occasionally on the used market here. A quick web search located this CT ATC Dealer. They are definitely on the more expensive sid... | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? For me the sonic differences have been largely insignificant compared to the difference in convenience of having an entire library of music at my fingertips to mix and match as I choose. I find I do more listening this way rather than having to ge... | |
| How long will CD-R's & DVD-R's last? I've heard the same finite longevity theories, but have yet to hear of a confirmed failure. That does not mean it's not true. I'm a commercial photographer and I do store much of my work on CD and DVD media, so the issue does concern me. On a rela... | |
| Small - but GOOD - active speakers for MC Look at the ATC active monitors - I think the SCM-20's. Not sure if they are in the same price range as I don't know the NHT's.Marco | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I've never had a single sale to anyone making those kinds of queries. One or two have turned out to be real jerks as far as dealing with the their subsequent emails. A few have initiated transactions only to back out later. Many have been a tremen... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Here's just a few suggestions:"Whad'ya got?"...or..."My best price is $6.49, but then again I really admire $ 199.95 as well. I do like the numbers with a few commas too. What's yours?"...or..."My best price is going to be the one offer I accept. ... | |
| help Terry Cain I got an email from Srajan yesterday and posted a new thread shortly after that, but the moderators have not allowed a post on his passing apparently. There were probably many. He will certainly be missed in this community. Just a note that, accor... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Antony - This guy (gal - he is transgender) must be channeling Nina Simone! He (physically she is a he) did a cover on the Leonard Cohen documentary, "I'm Your Man", of the song, "If it be Your Will". His voice is hauntingly beautiful. I picked up... | |
| RIP Dad Elgordo I'm sorry for your great loss, Mandocarrie. What a great tribute you've made to him here, and a touching reminder of what is important in life. I lost my father last May. I had the great fortune to be by his side for the last three weeks of his li... | |
| Question about dac / sacd The SACD signal would not, BUT if the disc were a hybrid, and most are, the DAC would take the CD layer of the SACD and work with that. That may or may not be an improvement upon the SACD playback of the 555es; it would depend entirely on the DAC ... | |
