What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight?
My Avalon has a great cassette player. 1983 Top 105 plus five songs I recorded off of KNAC in Long Beach. Plus assorted I recorded from KTYD in Santa Barbera. Helps remind me of days gone by.-John 
What CD sound is the best?
-RW-: Thanks for reminding me of the "Cunfusion.." being slipped in. I totaly forgot about that. I think I have an ELP live LP (the one with 3 LP's?) that has it recorded.Sheesh, hope we did'nt hijack this thread too much. -John 
What CD sound is the best?
RE: In Search of the Lost Chord"The song "The best way to travel" (I think it's this one)This song has one of the highest notes I've ever heard on a recording. There is a passage where the instruments back down and some sort of extremly high pitch... 
Maxell or TDK?
My Toyota Avalon has a cassette unit in it & I still listen to music I recorded years ago on UDXL2 tapes form Maxell. I am amazed how well they sound today. It seems to me that the dark chocolate vs milk chocolate colored tapes were always bet... 
Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode
I'll try to remember to let you know. I have been out of town so much lately my system has not been on in 3+ weeks. Rory at Benchmark is the guy I have talked to. Maybe give him an email. I think his email is thru the website sales link. Good luck... 
Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode
My Benchmark DAC2 USB would on occasion do the same. I figured it was receiving an input signal from something that left it triggered on. I now have the newer DAC2 HGC there is always one light on & one light flashing. I only just hooked up th... 
Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular.
I also have the 300cx and love it. Seems reliable as a rock. The 300 will work with a standard household 15 amp plug. I believe if you go 400 or 700cx the manual suggests using a 20 amp recepticle. You can look at the manual online at the Krell we... 
Song With Best Beginning
Back in '72/'73 there were three albums that came out with a heart beat as the first song/intro.Tull's "Passion Play"ELP's "Trilogy"Floyds, "Dark Side of the Moon"I quite often wondered how they all came about to be released around the same time w... 
Song With Best Beginning
Mapmans nomination about Higher & Higher is good. I never realized it was a rocket taking off. I gotta go listen again tonight on vinyl. The Moodys certainly had a few great albums with cool intros. " ...and now to suit our great computer you'... 
Amp with best bass control
When I bought my Krell 300cx I had auditioned the Sim amp as well. There are 2 reasons I went with the Krell. The speaker terminals are way too close for my liking. If you put a set of spades on them the sides would be very close to touching &... 
Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth
I did drywall finishing in the 70's & 80s'. The acoustic (popcorn) does work well at deading the sound reflections,(hence the name acoustic) but as stated above it is real dated. Plus it is a real pain to refinish and paint. As far as a more m... 
turntable light
I like the Littlelite products. It has a red and a white setting. Very high grade product. It stays where you aim it. Kind of spendy but I really like it.http://littlite.com/products/category/10Good luck.-John

Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought?
1962 and I was 6 years old. DeeDee Sharp, "The Mashed Potato". Cost $0.98, $1.01 after sales tax. Emptied my piggy bank. Man, sometimes I remember some dumbshit stuff.-John 
Which amp for my Renaissance 90s?
Congrats on your purchase. I also have these speakers and they are very special indeed. I use a Krell FPB300cx amp and it seems a perfect match. This amp costs a chunk of change so you may not want to use something so spendy. There are a couple of...
