SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners
Albert,I agree with you on the mastering issue. I have some JVC "xrcd" 20 bit K2 cds that sound great. Why can't this software format be the standard for the mastering engineers to follow and make us 2-channel lovers happy? My cd collection is abo...

Copy protection circa 1987
I am a strong proponent of non-swapping copied cds. If someone wants to make a complilation or copy for their own use, I can live with that.The way to solve this is to lower the price of cds so it won't make sense for someone to make copies to pas... 
Dripping faucet leading to a flood; performed by?
Clueless,I knew you would come back with a quick wit one liner. The toilet is fine but thanks for asking. I only think of this song in the day time.Travis,Thanks for that lead on "Consequences." I did various song title searches on Allmusic.com an... 
CDR Fidelity?
I will provide my experiences.CD-R's made on a PC stink, no matter what sound card or PC.I experimented with stand alone consumer stereo cd player/recorders and found the Pioneer PDR-W839 to do the best job using either Maxell or Mitsui bland musi... 
I am looking for an FM antenna amplifier
I second the "check out ccrane.com" advise already given. Having owned and tried a couple of amplified antennas, I tried the ccrane non-amplified FM Reflect and was very satisfied, especially after bending it into the circular patern. It's only $2...

Does anyone have feedback on the TERK Pro antenena
I'll agree with the simplistic beauty of the $30 (usually on sale for $25) FM Reflect antenna. I also had two terk antennas and they were inferior compared to the Reflect.OBTW, C.Crane makes and excellent portable AM/FM radio. I purchased one for ... 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
I'll second the Vero Research - Soundwave Speakers. My brother has a pair of the Grand Soliloquy's. They are about 11 years old, a two-way design. Both speakers had to have their bass/midrange units reconed due to a surround / cone glue issue and ... 
Retro Hi End Trivia Question
Yes, I remember the Quatre Gain Cell amp. I bought one the weekend before I got married in October, 1978. It was systemed with an Audionics BT2 pre, a FONS TT and Maggy IIa's. It sounded and ran fine. Even though I had heard all the horror stories...

Dupont Corian for Isolation
I have Corian in my system. My Uncle, who does remodeling, so my speaker basses and me if I wanted him to make me speaker stands (with spikes) for my Maggy IIA'a and IIB's. I said sure, as long as they were black, and not only do they look great b... 
Quiet fan to cool amp and preamp?
I too looked into fans and went to Radio Shack to test drive what they had. It was a slow day and the saleperson let me test all of they had. All were too noise. I was using a friend's Rotron "Whisper" fan #027117 as my reference piece. The Rotron... 
rock/jazz fusion
I will add - any recordings by the David Becker Tribune group.
