Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion
Folks...Can anyone quantify the improvement with the KAB fluid damper? Will my 54 year old ears be able to hear the difference on my SL-1210M5G with a DL-160. Right now the combo sounds great to me w/o the KAB mod. I have a thick Technics rubber m...

Tigertwoodkhorns...WAIT! The best is yet to come. Once the cart/stylus breaks in you will not believe how beautiful the DL-160 sounds with the right recordings. I have about 40 hours on my DL-160 and I have jumped out of my seat more than once hea... 
New Beatles HELP on DVD
I think the reason why the catalogue has not been re-mastered in the high-resolution formats is because the Lennon-McCartney songs are owned by Michael Jackson and SONY/ATV Music. There are probably a lot of legal ramifications with EMI and the Be... 
Norah Jones a tinge short
The Classic Records vinyl release of "Come Away With Me" is outstanding!Jan

Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonight it was The Beatles, "Abbey Road" to warm up the system. Followed by Carly Simon, "No Secrets", then Melissa Manchester "Greatest Hits", followed by Suzanne Vega, "Solitude Standing" and Joni Mitchell, "Hejira". Ended with Steely Dan, "Aja"... 
White Album, when's your last listen?
It is my understand that the Beatles were not very interested in the stereo mixes of their material, leaving most of the engineering to Sir George Martin. His "typical" vocals on one channel and instruments on the other is pretty much his signatur... 
White Album, when's your last listen?
Sunday evening. I NEVER tire of The Beatles.Not necessarily their best (IMO, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road are better) but it takes me back to the fun times of being a teneager in the late 60's when gasoline was 30c/gallon and m... 
Hooverphonic anyone?
Now that I have caught my breath... OMG! OMFL! Holy Bats**t, BatMan!The CD, "Stereophonic Spectacular" finished. Friends, I was literally pinned to the sofa listening to this recording.The soundstage! Huge, enveloping, deep 3D. The sonics! Soaring... 
Hooverphonic anyone?

Hooverphonic anyone?
Hi Gawdbless...Postage was U$6.50 for a single CD, with an additional $3.50 for the 2nd CD. Insurance was $1.65 for the entire order. It was just under U$24.00 (~A$27.50) for both titles - A bargain as this material is quite difficult to find in S... 
Another band to snub your noses at
Hello...I have found that the vinyl recording does not sound as shrill and tiring as the CD. I have Pampered Menial in both formats.I was given to understand that Pavlov's Dog used the old Jefferson Airplane as their model for vocals. They do soun... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Thanks Crem1,I wrote up a whole narrative on a very primitive procedure that I used to steam clean vinyl only to find that the forums have a 700 word limit. I did save the diatribe locally. Possibly I will write it up as a review.I will say this, ...
