Good sounding 70's live LPs...
Here's a guilty pleasure-Uriah Heep "Live". I think it came out in the late 1970s. Black cover with white letters. Bass and kick-drum sound amazing to me. Some of the songs are even good! 
Has anyone else tried DNM solid core cable?
I use DNM. Easy to work with (light/flexible) and sound good to me. Your ears are working. 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
There is a diff but a $200 Oppo is at least half as good as the almost $7000 Naim CDX 2. So...buy a TT, any TT! 
Turntable setup Long Island or NYC ?
Fred (if he still works at Ears Nova) is the best. Don't know if he is still around. 
Best vinyl version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
An interesting question. I've got several vinyl versions and, no matter what TT I use (I've had too many), I cannot make this LP sound good. I've given up. Just dig the music. 
Best Linn service in NYC area?
The responses are interesting. I find Fred ( see if he is still at Ears Nova in NYC) to be far more meticulous than Wilson. But...what do I know. I've only owned 3 LP-12s. 
Substitute for Naim Naca5 with Nait 5i?
NACA indeed is good, however, I find it to be a pain in the balls to work with (TOO STIFF). DNM is superb. Try it. 
White Album, when's your last listen?
When you have 3 of the best songsmiths in rock history, it is hard not to be at the top of the heap. No other group I can think of has 3 great writers.They were the best of the best. Always will be.With specific reference to the White Album, I thi... 
Headshell weight - Sumiko HS-12 vs Technics
I use the Sumiko headshell with a Shelter and could not balance the arm without the aux weight. I think you'll need it. 
Bluenote Reliability
Stick with something with a track record and service center in the USA. Look at Naim. 
Mike Smith of the DC5 r.i.p.
Jaybo- I always enjoy your threads and taste. As a 6 year old (I'm 48 now) DC5 "Greatest Hits" was purchased at Korvettes (anyone remember?) along with Herman's Hermits "Hold On" and Stones "High Tide and Green Grass". I am so glad DC5 is now gett... 
Anyone send back Magnepan MMG's?
I think if you stop listening to Pat Benatar, that would help. 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
Led Zep III. Just amazingly great. 
cantelever not straight, advise please.
I have a real allergy to people NOT accurately describing their gear. First, I'd ask myself if this fellow has stellar feedback. If he does, he should want to keep it that way by making you happy. If he has lousy feedback, you should have never do... 
Sound Anchor vs Skylan stands?
Noel (Skylan) and Bob (Sound Anchors) are great to work with. And, both products are excellent.If you want "tuned metal", go with SA. If you like "no metal", go Skylan. By this I mean SA uses metal (tuned with sand fill) to construct their stands,...
