| lps chamber music like the old digital early 80's There are many, but here's a few random, obscure yet superb ones that are probably what you're looking for on vinyl. You may have to watch Ebay for a while to get some of them:Gabor Janota (bassoon) with Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orch. - "Vivaldi Conce... | |
| The Most Beautiful Song of The RnR era? I would add two to those already mentioned:Stones - Wild HorsesCroce - Time In A Bottle | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. In a phono section especially, the quality of the tubes is critical - as is the MATCHING of the tubes. I have bought from Upscale Audio, who is not cheap - but after never being totally happy with any of the tubes I had used, I figured I'd give th... | |
| "Pictures at an Exhibition" The Telarc version is pretty good sonically, but performance a little bland IMO. For performance I like the Reiner on RCA. BTW all the Living Stereo Hybrid SACD's are on sale right now at J&R Music for $6.99 !!! | |
| Stunning Harpsichord Recording Well if you're talking Cristofori, then the must have recording is Horszowski playing Music of Lodovico Giustini on the 1720 Cristofori Pinaoforte at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, on Titanic Records. This is the very first music composed specifi... | |
| Stunning Harpsichord Recording There's no question that for some reason solo harpsichord is very difficult to record well. I think also that a lot of harpsichords themselves just aren't that enjoyable to listen to. So it's a tough combination.Anyway - I've had A LOT of harpsich... | |
| Jazz at the Pawnshop - LP I'm assuming you're referring to the Audiosource edition similar to Gdupont's above. That one generally goes for around $40 on Ebay if mint. The monotone orange label one that Tongnam mentioned is the more expensive - going for $70 or so.Both of t... | |
| Jazz at the Pawnshop - LP To Gdupont - what you have is the original issue "premium" version. To Grimace - You're right - it is an excellent live recording of a slightly above average performance. More of a fun virtual reality experience than a great moment in music. That ... | |
| Great Cello music Part 2 If you might be into contemplative, yet intense unaccompanied cello, Matthew Owens might work for you. He's very mellow and probably classified as "new age" by some, but his music is much more thematic and complex than say the Windham Hill type of... | |
| Biokleen Bac Out cleaner Someone above here doesn't really know his MacStuff or bother to research it. First off - Nonionic surfactants (which is the ONLY type in MoldZyme) absolutely DO NOT degrade enzymes. Do some research and get back to us. I can cite at least 10 stud... | |
| DBX Expander I use my unit primarily for the Impact Restoration. The effect of the IR is to really open up the leading edge of sounds that already have a fast attack. High hats, cymbals, plucked strings, bass thumps really sound much more like live music. Unti... | |
| Biokleen Bac Out cleaner I use MoldZyme for problems where I suspect noise due to mildew in the grooves. First off - the only ingredients in MoldZyme are: Water, Fermented Vegetable Matter (the enzymes), and Natural Surfactants. I have let it soak on lp's for hours and it... | |

| DBX Expander I certainly don't want to sell mine, but the 3bx-ds is very easy to find on Ebay. Seems there's at least one a week. And there IS another 5bx on Ebay right now, which is very unusual - they only show up about once or twice a year, and now there ha... |
