| Remember the Electric Light Orchestra ELO and Eagles in the same sentence does NOT compute. ELO is way cool. Eagles after Desperado is commercial swill. | |
| Remember the Electric Light Orchestra On the Third Day and Eldorado are killer records. Yes, Jeff is a genius. Yes, Roy Wood is an even greater one. | |
| Help Father of the bride dance song. I love the Pretenders choice. It's a great song. Check out Larry Graham's "One in a Million You". Larry was the cool wickedly funky bass player in Sly and the Family Stone but this song is a departure being a ballad. Beautifully sung, a tad on the... | |
| VPI Classic Should have stuck with your Rega! | |
| What did you own in the 60's? EJ Korvettes = eight jewish korean veterans. Did u know that? The coolest store ever. Best LP section in the world. It's all gone downhill since. Do I sound old? System= Garrard TT, Lafayette amp, JBL speakersThat has all gone downhill too. Just l... | |
| How do you store your albums First of all, LPs are worth far LESS than you think. I'd suggest you are dreaming when you believe you have many albums worth hundreds of dollars each. By way of example, the "collectible/rare" LP you buy from a second-hand record shop at $50-100 ... | |
| Good $10K systems Naim entry level integrated, ATC bookshelf speaker, and Rega 3. Well under and wonderful. It is folly to think you need to spend more. | |
| Any Tom Waits Fans? Get Blue Valentine. Not talked about much, but brilliant. It's earlier period stuff. | |
| How many hours per week do you listen to music? Unmarried days=1.5 per day minNow=almost never | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. I'm 50. I believe I was around 6. Here's what I purchased at E.J. Korvettes, a (now defunct) discount "department" store with one of the great record sections I've ever seen:Stones-High Tide, etc.Dave Clark Five-Greatest HitsHerman's Hermits-Hold On | |
| Project Debut III or Technics 1200 MK5? With respect to the 1200 idea-it's cool, easy to use, speeds change at touch of button and arm height adjustments are readily doable...... BUT it just sounds a little clinical to me. Get a Rega 3. | |
| Maple Shade Recordings? Here's my take. Why would anyone want to buy blah music from Mapleshade (or any other label) for the sole virtue of "great SOUND" when there is so much great MUSIC out there by great ARTISTS which may not be recorded as well? Masturbating to " qua... | |
| Looking for a good Stevie Wonder CD Mike-You just ordered the "big 3". All amazing. Some will say "Songs in the Key of Life" is essential too. I think not. | |
| radical Rega plinth DIY upgrade Your tool is tingling? | |
| Amp candidates for ATC Loudspeakers I'd consider any good SS integrated amp like Naim or Exposure. I do not know if tubes will work as the ATC line likes watts/current. |
