| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Justin-time, Thanks a bunch. Lots of this is over my head, but I read every word with interest and a desire to find the best way to care for my precious LPs. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. What lead me to this thread, specifically, i... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" John Reischmann's North of The Border. Excellent acoustic bass, guitar and on-fire Mandolin. Jazzy, bluegrassy and totally balls out playing. A few numbers are incredibly sweet without any syrup. Please do yourselves a favor and grab this great CD. | |
| Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell? I cannot say much about Krell, as I've never owned any, but the Odyssey Stratos-yes. I owned a pair for a few months. Found them harsh in upper treble and "hummed" in my system. The Odyssey had some awsome attributes- great soundstage, depth, bass... | |
| Top "covers" Of course, All along the Watchtower(which was written by Jimi, but Bobby's hand did the actual writing.) Even Dylan said it. The Bands version of All Along the W is powerful, ripping and on the map.Also, Los lobos version of The Dead's -Bertha. | |
| What music would you like at your funeral? Lil Wing, Hendrix | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Best Live is Gato Barbierri. I lost the album, but it's something like Live at Montreaux, recorded in the 70s. The audience waited until 2:00 am to hear his band/orchestra from Argentina. Most of the band did not make the flight, so half the music... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Talking Heads '72Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Django's Nuage. Makes me want to cry. Toots and The Maytals- Take me Home, Country Road. Toots loves his West Jamaica, he does not like to tour for that reason. I consider him right there with Otis redding, Aretha Franklin. Of course, Beethovens 9... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts 5. Blind Faith was good, but Jethro Tull was fantastic! It was their Stand Up era. 1970 at the Fabulous Forum. Los Angeles, CA.4. John Reischmann, fabulous mandolin/bluegrass. Portland, Oregon.3. Roland Rashaan Kirk- at the Hoo-Haa Cultural Festiv... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music My vote is for Mozarts Eine Kleine Nacht Musik, Budapest String Quartet. My Lp is old and worn- wish i could find another copy. Another which moves me is Django's "Nuage". My favorite is on a French label CD. There are many poor recordings of Djan... | |
| Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220 Great thread. I currently run a VK-200 with a VK-3i. I love it! Ironically, this is my first 2 years of "high end" audio. I too would like to try the VK-60, but $ issues... Speakers are RBH towers 1266s and CD is Sony XA20ES. I must say that the s... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Yes. But I explained that i am in training for the CIA and that in order to qualify, I had to learn the art of shipping and receiving on the sly. The defense department sends me money, and I must not leave a paper trail as to how it is spent. As a... |
