| Dogs who love music The only sound that seems to be music to my dog's ears is the "sweet rhapsody" of Pro Plan Lamb and Rice Formula hitting her metal dog dish! | |
| CD recorder advice sought Hi Jayson, As I changed both my preamp and CD player within a relatively short time frame, I'm not able to give you a great compare/contrast between the Linn Genki and Marantz. Generally speaking, the Marantz is a more natural-sounding unit, and t... | |
| Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's I recommend Lamisil AT (available OTC) on your CDs. May improve sonics! | |
| Scientist finds fungus that eats cd's Damn, it's like the killer bees! Are THEY here yet? I've been waiting........bzzzzzzzzzzz, ouch!Well, as long as it stays away from my LPs! ;-) | |
| I normally don't ask for help, but..... I'll give all of the positive regard to the Cosmos that I can muster, but if I may I'd like to comment (if I may Albert) on the nefarious nature of this particular disease. Of course I cannot comment on this particular case but in the vast majorit... | |
| CD recorder advice sought Not sure what your budget is, but I'll throw this one in. I finally decided on a Marantz CDR-500 "pro" model with dual bay and 20 bit A-D converter. Can be had for about $750 - depending on the amount of recording you do the difference would be ma... | |
| REK-O-KUT sounds better than my LINN? I'm surprised at this. Something must be amiss with the LP12, because while not Stereophile Class A ( Quite a DUBIOUS distinction IMHO, being determined as much by advertising dollars as perceived sound quality) still a pretty good table which whe... | |
| NY Reunion No really, it's a great set with (I'm sure you know) Joe Henderson (his "Page One" is another jazz must-own), McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter on bass, and Al Foster on drums. You can tell that they're just lovin' playing together again. Very well recorded... | |
| NY Reunion My review: It's an awesome recording. Get it! No, no, don't wait! Go now! And no, Detlof is not Rxing me anything. I happily self-prescribe, thank you. What? You're still reading this? Go buy the CD! | |
| Best Sax Jazz "Best" to me is like the term "favorite." For me it changes from day to day, especially with music as there is SO MUCH great music out there. Last night I listened to the LP Gene Ammons "Blue Gene" and LOVED IT. Happy Listening to All! | |
| NY Reunion It's too bad Chesky didn't issue it as a double-LP, to include all of the songs present on the CD. But a great-sounding truncated LP is better than no LP at all, I say. And I BELIEVE that the polarities of my sytem are correct, but I could just be... | |
| NY Reunion Hey Mes, they're the same on my system, Henderson on the right, Tyner on the left on "Recorda Me." You might want to check the polarity if your connections on the phono rig - headshell leads perhaps? Damn, that's a good recording! Thanks for promp... | |
| NY Reunion I have them both, and will check this evening. My Lithium levels are a little high, so right now I'm hearing "Page One" playing in my head. Hmmmmmmm, channel balance is a little off - nothing new there! | |
| How much should I pay for old LP12? Addendum: Longplate is right about the replacement styli for the K9 not being available. If the arm and bearings are in good shape (again good advice to have them scrutinized), then just pop a 'lil Grado on the Akito and you're in business. Insofa... | |
| How much should I pay for old LP12? Yes, the Linn does require setup, and occasional adjustment. But there does seem to be a preponderance of "Sokdekophobia neurotica" out there. The Linn is a pretty good table, and with some commonsense mods, it becomes even lower maintenance and h... |
