| Alvin Lee dead at 68 Dear Mr. Ray the printer-You are in for a real treat. If you can find the old vinyl, get it. It's a 1973 release. | |
| Alvin Lee dead at 68 The record "On the Road to Freedom" is brilliant. Great songs and "guests" include Harrison, Winwood, Wood, Fleetwood, Capaldi. Seek it out. For those of you who think Lee was just a "fast" guitar player, listen to this LP and hear he was much mor... | |
| Recording quality by decade I'll come off as a dick and tell you there is either something very wrong with your hifi or your ears. The records you cite as sounding "bad" are the best recordings I have ever heard. I'd suggest records from the 1955 to 1970 period sound way bet... | |
| Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre I use Dyn BM5 which is an "active" speaker and find them to be musical and easy to like. | |
| "When Records Ruled The World"...BBC Documentary Mofi, I do not know who you are but...thank you, thank you, thank you. Wonderful film. I've shipped same to a few pals. | |

| Naim CDX - Aggressive Sound? Higgs-get the "2"...it's a better choice. Newer. less hyped, more musical.Best of luck-Lindisfarne | |
| Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro? If the guy, or gal, is great, I'd pay up. It's a lost art. | |
| Naim CDX - Aggressive Sound? Had both CDX and CDX2 and I like Naim gear as a general rule. I found the CDX to be on the "aggressive" side of neutral and...it's old. So, I'd worry about the transport and laser. For a grand, or so, I'd buy. That would be my upper limit. | |
| Chinese DACs Kingrex out of Taiwan. | |
| Help me put a system together for my son Rega Brio integrated has nice MM phono built into unit. It's a steal. Buy it. | |
