| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Count Bassie "Bassie Jam", Janis Ian "Breaking Silence", most of Steely Dan's releases and Rickie Lee Jones debut album and "Cowboys". "Stardust" is killer too. The nice thing is all these albums have great content. | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now J Lohr chardonnay is one I even like at about $12 a bottle. Sawtooth chardonnay is great as well at $8, as are all their white wines. Thanks for starting this thread. I'm sure my wife will enjoy all the recommendations. | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? DAT, pro cd recorder with 24/96 and reel to reel, in that order. I'd elect for the pro cd recorder, an Alesis specifically. Having owned a reel to reel years ago and loved it, the major drawback is finding what it is you want to listen to. Of cour... | |
| Looking for thunderstorm audio CD... The best I have heard is the MFSL vinyl "The Power And The Majesty". This was their first or second release. Though I don't find it very interesting it may be the finest recording I've ever heard. Not only can you discern the individual drops of r... | |
| opinion on asl hurricane with horns Wow, that's like killing a fly with a nuclear tipped cruise missle. | |
| Am I wrong? Pops,I too have been in this hobby for a long time; over three decades. I've been fortunate because I've only had two equipment failures in that time, probably because I have mid-fi equipment based on the majority of systems represented here at Au... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? My guess is that an LP12 with the Origin Live DC motor control would fit the bill. A Linn that is set up correctly is difficult to beat for the dollars invested and the Origin Live is purported to be more accurate than the Linn Lingo power supply.... | |
| Neil Young On The Beach "On The Beach" is a great record. So, now that it's available on CD perhaps the vinyl price will be brought down to a reasonable level. I have every legitimate Neil Young album ever made and several bootlegs. Zuma would rate at near the top of my ... | |
| Great CDP with No volume control I've also listened to the Aero Capitole alone and through a preamp. Through the preamp sounded way better. | |
| Can CD's be loud and ok? Ben,I'm sure I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong but when CD's are mixed so that the quiet passages are too loud then that is compression. A whisper should be a whisper, not a shout. That's my complaint with so many of today's CD's. It seems that th... | |
| DVD audio recording? Alesis | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward Marakanetz, Should you ever figure out Miles Davis please clue the rest of us in. One hundred years from now his music will still be cutting edge. Loved your expaination of dark and light sides of reproduction. Maybe there's a Star Wars connection... | |
| Cleaning Records Great post 4yanx. I think you've nailed it. | |
| Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805? One thing I will gaurantee you is that speaker manufacturers don't torque screws into MDF. Cabinet shops generally use air powered equipment set at a pressure that approximates enough energy to tighten but not overtighten. My best suggestion to an... | |
| Names of Bands... Buffalo Springfield was named after a steamroller. |
