Best Outer Sleeves for LPs
You know, i bought thousands of inner and outer sleeves from Sleeve City and found in the middle of the run there would be piles of outer sleeves that were too snug,then they would go back to the regular size.I got tired of making stacks of defect... 
anyone use ikea for lp racks?
My advice is that if you live anywhere that is earthquake prone look elsewhere. That IKEA stuff will explode! It might be good to store your 70's disco records in but don't put it anywhere near small children,pets or anything you value. There will... 
What do you see as the downside of tubes?
The cost of a portable defibrillator.You just might need one when you are deep into the ether of musical nuance and a big power tube blows a fuse and you wonder if it took your speaker with it.Think Godzilla in Tokyo.

Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan
Yes-those are THE recordings.Looks as if they have gone out of print for the moment.Those prices are unrealistic.They will turn up for you at a reasonable price eventually.Enjoy! 
Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan
The recordings that first brought Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan into world recognition are a series of Paris concerts from 1985-8 released on five volumes[and collected into a box set] by the Ocora label,distributed by the Harmonia Mundi label.Ocora is on... 
Tubes OR solid state for Sonus Faber Cremona Audit
As a former auditor owner and a current Cremona owner i think those speakers will sound best with a solid state power amp and a tube preamp.I used the auditors in a small room with a tube pre and power and it was a warm and wonderful sound.Things ...

New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor
Tread softly my friend.....was that not a "retired couple" in 'Rosemary's Baby" ?? 
New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor
