| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? Howie, I strongly agree with Raul about getting a dealer to mount the cartridge and set up your table. Kids (and newbies), don't try this it home. Sure you can get your table to make sound, but you want it to sound its best. It really takes consid... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? "I was told by my dealer and others that the list of importance goes. 1.cartridge 2.phono stage 3.arm 4.table"I would list priorities very differently than your dealer:1) Table 2) arm 3) cartridge 4) phono stage.Your table and arm determine how we... | |
| The Debate's Not Over "For every good Smokey wrote, Dylan wrote a dozen or more that buried it... This is irrefutable."Although I don't disagree with your preference, nothing in issues of taste is "irrefutable." You and I are experts on our own opinions, nothing more. ... | |
| The Debate's Not Over "Costello is a first-rate poseur (as is his wife) but not an original in any sense."I couldn't disagree more - Costello has been among the best song writing talent on the music scene for the past 25 to 30 years. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Kirsten:Thank you for your participation in this thread and for the account your holiday. Your daughter sounds adorable. Since you asked for seasonal music, I'll give you my favorite: "Our Heart's Joy" by Chanticleer, an outstanding male vocal gro... | |
| Does Blockbuster Edit Their Movies? As I understand it, directors usually have no control over what the ultimate commercial cut of their movies look like (hence, the Director's Cut releases). These final cuts are done by the people who pony up the dough to get the movie made in the ... | |

| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE Well, I need to back track from some of my statements above, having just had the Sonus Faber Cremonas (9k) home for a weekend audition. It made all the difference. While I still do think they rock a bit better than my Electra 926's, there is no qu... | |
| Does Blockbuster Edit Their Movies? "This really makes me sick and is obviously just a big business decision. I agree with SDCampbell and go to Hollywood video or my local store instead."Philjolet:Why on earth should this make you (or Roger Ebert) sick? I can understand you objectin... | |
| Hey, we don't get no respect We who are into this hobby can be silly - there are no two ways about it. Please try to tell some one you long for 5K interconnects - several pairs of them - and several 3K powercords and see if you have any credibility left to suggest they should... | |
| Question re: Power conditioner I'm not sure how much you would be paying for the Monster Power 7000, but if it is anything close to $500 I would skip it and get a couple of dedicated lines put in for your system (one for amps, one for sources). I think these will unquestionably... | |
| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE Well, I assume you are going to audition these speakers, so the confusion should stop once you hear them playing your music, through your own system, in your own room. (If you are going to buy new, an audio store should allow an audition in your o... | |
| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE My typo, make that the PMC OB-1. | |

| best sounding dvd player for under $1,000 Arcam DV 78 - awesome for video, and sonically very nearly as good as Arcam's CD 73. A great combination. |
