| Gato Barbieri RIP He was unique. His Flying Dutchman albums introduced me to Nana, Airto, Stanley Clarke and John Abercrombie. They even modeled a muppet after him. | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge Halcro, you state that you've had 80+ cartridges and then mention Anna, Coralstone, Goldfinger, etc. Are these some of the stereo cartridges you've compared the A-T to? Is that | |
| Forward or laid back Hm1, welcome to Audiogon.Am I the only one who cannot understand what the original post means. I've read it twice and I don't understand what his point is. | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge From what you've written I don't think you can draw any meaningful conclusions about mono vs. stereo cartridges. You picked a low mono and compared it to very high end stereo and came to the conclusion that mono isn't worth the effort. Not a fai... | |
| How do you prepare for a record show? Slaw, could it be you're taking this a little too seriously? A trip to a record show isn't comparable to climbing K2. | |

When I've moved I packed the equipment, albums and digital discs myself to keep them organized, but other than the turntable and the computer server I let the movers do the moving. I never worried about whether the van or storage was temperature ... | |
| Replacing mid-80s Denon amp and preamp with new Parasound equipment Assuming you'll keep the Polk loudspeakers, then keep the Denons. The Parasounds are good quality equipment, but it's not a big step up from the Denons in your system. I would have the Denons tested to make sure they are operating properly. The... | |
| Magnum Dynalab Amp Experiences MD is a Canadian company that's noted for good sounding, high build quality products. I believe SimAudio, another respected Canadian manufacturer, designs or at least had a part in the design of their amps. Their website lists a dealer in Calgary. | |
| Anyone know ? The EMI mastering console. | |
| Is it all worth it? Mapman, it would be very difficult for a 6'1" 190 lb quarterback to get a serious shot at starting in today's NFL. | |
| Is it all worth it? Are the Boston A40 equivalent to a modern audiophile caliber loudspeaker? I think not, but I speculate that they are capable of providing a satisfying listening experience when properly situated. High end sound is not always a necessary element ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I DO NOT KNOW SQUAT ABOUT MUSICNot to put words in other peoples' mouths, but I believe there is a consensus that the above is a true statement. | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello Although he doesn't express a coherent political viewpoint there is a fair amount of political/economic commentary running through Elvis Costello's songs. The clearest case would be his collaboration with Allen Toussaint.I don't understand why so... |
