How do you fix an ''out of print'' scratched CD ?
Check out the link below for a company that makes several plastic polishes and a cleaner.http://www.noscratch.com/novus/index.shtmlI used this product to remove some scratches on my car's lexan headlight covers. It works great and I'll bet it will... 
"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey
"Too Much Monkey Business"Versions by The Yardbirds and The Beatles (Live at the BBC).Original by Chuck Berry. 
Mark Levinson 27.5 or 331 power amp?
Moemoney, did you ever score the 23.5? If so, are you pleased with the sound? 
Mark Levinson 27.5 or 331 power amp?
I think the overall midrange and trebble character of the two amps (23.5 and 27.5) are similar. The 23.5 has more bass impact and seems to go deeper into the depths of the lower registers. I am not really familiar with the 300 series sound, but I ... 
Mark Levinson 27.5 or 331 power amp?
I owned a No. 27 and a 27.5 and currently use a 23.5. I thought the 27.5 was an improvement over the 27, especially in the bass department. I upgraded to the 23.5 simply because my speakers benefit from the extra power. I think your money may be b... 
New Dark Side LP
I just dug out my original copy from 30 years ago. I hadn't played it in almost 25 years. Since that time, my system has changed quite drastically. I last played this album on a Dual turntable with an Onkyo receiver thru JBL 3-way speakers. Please... 
Review: Magnepan 3.6R Speaker
Which Thiels did you own? I loved my Maggie MG IIIa speakers, but I traded them in on the Thiel CS 3.6 because of room placement issues at the time. I haven't heard the MG3.6R, but I've heard they're excellent. I powered my old Maggies with a Levi... 
What's your latest "Discovery"
Ditto on The Jayhawks "Rainy Day Music". Decent sounding in CD format. I just got the vinyl version, but I haven't had the chnce to play it yet. 
Why do AC cords make so much difference?
Back to the "floating ground" issue. I was told by a supposed cable guru that one shouldn't "float" the ground on digital gear, because digital gear uses the ground to shunt the digital garbage, "grunge", "error bits", or whatever you want to call... 
problem with levinson no 37?
Rives: Have you talked to Madrigal? I think it's inexcusable that a company with their supposed high standards and reputation for quality has not remedied this problem. I certainly am annoyed that my car stereo will play a disc that my megabuck hi... 
What's up with the analog "echo" phenomenon?
What a relief!!! So they're really not including subliminal messages with each record we buy: "...spend more money on audio gear..." 
What's up with the analog "echo" phenomenon?
Thanks to all who responded with these interesting explanations! 
problem with levinson no 37?
Rives--You say that you can't get any burned CD-R to play in your 37? Do you get any of the messages I listed above? Perhaps there may be something related to the CD burner itself. Have you tried copies made on somebody else's computer? Have you h... 
problem with levinson no 37?
I just tried one of the above suggestions to copy the disc to a CD-R. The copy plays fine in the 37! I phoned Madrigal and they are having their engineers look into the problem. 
problem with levinson no 37?
I just purchased the remastered hybrid SACD of the Rolling Stones "Beggar's Banquet", and it wouldn't play in my Levinson 37/360S rig. The packageing states that this disc will play in any cd player or SACD player. I got the messages "BAD SPIN", "...
