Do you ever wonder?

Best Phono Preamp under $300 ?
I used both Yamaha CX1 & CX2 previously and loved them. Iam not sure which, but I believe the CX2 had a button on the back to switch from MM to MC type phono cartridges. Very quiet and appealing pre. They should be fairly cheap on the used mar... 
Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative
My wife & I love "Best of UB40" The recording quality is extremely good, songs are all great. An addded plus is the playing time is quite long as well.Enjoy, John 
How often do you get a chance to see live music
Well, as long as your asking..This summer Pablo Cruise & the Beach Boyes were playing locally so my wife & I went to see them. Then the next night The Guess Who & Foreigner were playing at the same outside venue so we went to them also... 
Do you ever wonder?
Wow did you open a can of worms. All artists have their merits of course. If they are making money somethings gotta be right. BUT as long as your asking, my wife always says, "Rod Stewart sounds like Dinky Duck after taking a hit off the helium ta... 
Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise?
In response to the titles question. Yes & I almost like it.I can drag out an album I havn't listened to in years & years and remember the pops, ticks and even skips from the 70's 7 80's. Kinda brings back old memories & puts me into pe... 
cooling my Krell monoblocks
I believe there was a thread somewhere that some folks loosened the fin bolts a smidgeon and that fixed the clicking sound. I havn't tried it as I just live with it. My FPB300cx clicks only a tad bit and only on occasion so I just leave it alone. ...

Ipod or MP3 for hold music; mono adapter?
I ended up using a small mp3 player. Then attached it to a USB to 120volt wall adapter to keep it charged. Seems to work fine. $71 total investment.-John 
Ipod or MP3 for hold music; mono adapter?
Marqueemoon- What would keep the Ipod or Shuffle charged? Someone last night mentioned an MP3 player. I guess I'll go shopping and see what type of simple system I can assemble. Our PH system is semi-old 10-12 years old but a great system. We just... 
Ipod or MP3 for hold music; mono adapter?
Thanks for the reply, but we are trying to keep it simple without some sort of subscription, etc. Can 2 channel wires be combined for mono on any type of a device? I seem to remember that mono ear phones have a longer section on the plug sans the ... 
Krell KRC-3 vs Adcom GFP-750 vs DAC1 Pre
Perhaps the TAPE function could be used for the bypass...?I am not sure, but it seems that I recall that being done.Good luck, John 
Krell KRC-3 vs Adcom GFP-750 vs DAC1 Pre
I have to second the KRC2. I used one for a few years and loved it. Only reason I replaced it was the KCT matched my Krell amp cosmetically & was allegedly better. It was quieter than a church mouse and had a lot more features than the KRC3 I ... 
Saw Heart last night
My wife & I saw them last year at Universal in Hollywod. The bad jammed and jammed good. Ann Wilsons' voice will send chills down your spine.BUT, the loudness level was so bad I couldn't stand it. It was obnoxiously loud. I love the band and h...
