| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Great album. I saw MH in concert and really enjoyed his unique style of playing. Unfortunately he is no longer with us. | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. Cakyol, with the Linn, the armboard and platter (record surface) are mounted to the same suspension platform and those should be parallel AND level. Not sure why your armboard would not be parallel with the platter. I am assuming your use of the... | |
| New Music Direct catalog... I was pleasantly surprised but really liked the performances by Jakob Dylan, Jade Castrinos, and Cat Power. They served the music well! | |

In 1980, I brought home a NAD integrated amplifier to try with my Advent speakers despite my opinion that the NAD was ugly. It blew away my Marantz receiver and I bought the NAD.
