| Am I nuts or what? ultrakaz - now you guys are going to think I'm really nutso - I record my vinyl into the computer - trim it up with soundforge and burn it at 1x onto a CDR - I swear that it sounds better than store bought CD's - I do have lots of MOFI and direct ... | |
| Stereo Vs. Mono Albert - you are certainly correct about visual grading - I find the old thick mono vinyl can look pretty bad and still play nicely - I am not using anything crazy for a cartridge - Grado Reference that came with the VPI - I have been thinking abo... | |
| Am I nuts or what? With all due respect I think the comparison is very valid.I agree that I have no way of knowing the "chain" of events in the production of each, but I do know that the CD sounds absolutely awful and isn't worth acquiring at any price. It is just a... | |
| Sound quality of Rhino Records remasters? They seem to be pretty meticulous about sound quality. For most of their "oldies" series - Have a Nice Day etc their CD version is probably the best available. I think that Rhino has recently been acquired by Warner Brothers and the original guys ... | |
| Anyone getting into the Christmas spirit ? Kenny Burrell's "Have Yourself a Soulful Christmas"- I don't know if it is available on CD - and the Ramsey Lewis Trio's "Sound of Christmas" also probably just vinyl. Ella Fitzgerald has an uptempo/jazzy Christmas album as well that is available ... | |
| Vinyl in Vegas? Everybody's a comedian...but I guess I kind of asked for it.Who buys records in Vegas when there is so much other entertainment. Guess I am a hopeless vinyl junkie. Plus that particular store was such a ripoff that I hate to see someone else get t... | |
| Playing back 78s? Where do I start? I am working on it. I have a Technics SP10 with a SME 3009 arm that I got from a radio station. I need some kind of a decent base, but it does spin at 78 so it might get me started. Thanks for the suggestion on the Grado, I will check it out. | |
| Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks Hi Tim...I think Vancouver probably has as many vinyl emporiums as Seattle...as for the pressings, you can find just as many US pressings as Canadian ones...I think the Canuck ones are just as good, for example I have both versions of a lot of Ray... | |
| The best CD Player for the money "best CD Player" is an oxymoron. I suggest a VPI, any model. | |
| Best Vinyl stores in L.A. Isn't Rock-a-way in Silverlake still around or don't they have any vinyl? | |
| Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks Like Columbo used to say...just one more thing...there is also a great record store up in Bellingham, ThreeV on State Street. Lots of jazz and reasonable prices. The owner loves to haggle and is very fair. Bring cash. | |
| Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks Drive up to Vancouver, Canada and take advantage of the Canadian peso. One of the finest vinyl emporiums that I have ever been to is there, Noize in downtown Vancouver. Small shop but Phil only stalks quality merchandise. No junk and most items ar... | |
| Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks I was a Bud's recently and the place is a hole. I think Bud is retiring and the stock has already been picked over. Lots of junky 70s "jazz", "digital" vinyl that belongs in a thrift shop not a record shop. Not worth a special trip but the neighbo... | |
| I am nuts to use these speakers? I am going to get a pair of the JBL LSR32's and give them a try. I'll let you know how it works out. I will be glad to see the last of the spring loaded clips on the back of the 4311's. Kind of want to keep the system all Made in the USA! | |
| How can you tell when tubes are shot? Thanks for all the great tube advice. The reason that I run my stuff all the time is that I actually get to listen to music from the time I get up until I hit the sack. Plus I use the record out on the REF 1 to feed an A/D convertor which feeds a ... |
