Schubert it's good to talk to old friends; I'm glad to see you up and about.Acman has introduced me to the only new artists that I like, and although Mary J. heard this before, it might be new to you.Lisa Simone is new to me; while she's Nina Simo...

Thank you mary_jo for the kind thought. Unfortunately, my responses will be intermittent for reasons that you are aware of, that need no discussion.Art Pepper's book made him more than just another jazz musician, he is a person who we feel that w...

"Skyscraper", what a moniker; I like it.You could have picked your list from out of my collection, and I mean the original records from about the time of their release; except for Bird and Lady Day, and Duke of course; I was too young.But I bought... 
I am a "Moron"
I should know by now that this debate is not about audio, but religion; God forbid that I should ever go to the Middle East, because I'll get beheaded for sure; I can't help taking long looks at beautiful women, veils or no veils.When it comes to ...

When comparing reel playback to PC playback, 2 track reel is better, but that's at great expense when you consider the high price of blank tape; unless you're rich, the point is moot.This PC, analog controversy is not what it's made out to be; it'...

Boxer, before computer, I used reel to reel tape decks; those were the only machines I really fell in love with. When they were popular, I would spend hours at the stereo store admiring the big expensive decks I couldn't afford.Since that time, w...

Boxer and 2 channel, the more you handle your records, the more you are likely to cause a scratch. I was washing my records, got distracted and caused a scratch.Now I take a new record out of the cover, record it, and I can listen for 1000 times ... 
I am a "Moron"
Crazyeddy, I have never met a computer expert who owned a single record, or a record player. Nor have I communicated with an "audiophile" who knows much about computers; myself included.My computer "guru" has a degree in computer science, and wit... 
I am a "Moron"
As you know, the better equipment you have, and the more attention you pay to detail, the better the audio.A top notch interface is essential to transferring analog to digital, your computer must like what you're feeding it, or it will not digest ... 
I am a "Moron"
When I did my thing, nothing like what you have was available, and my only recourse was to buy what was available and rebuild it utilizing prime parts. The case wasn't big enough, and I had to even rebuild that; it reminded me of the very early d...

At last, some verification, and validation of what I've been saying.While I've got the best of my entire collection on hard drive, I would never sell my LP'sJust recently, I upgraded the phono with Telefunken tubes; bought a new cartridge; which m... 
CDs Vs LPs
A "analog" or LP rig is much more expensive when it exceeds CD. In other words, a 1K CD player will sound better than a 1K record player. It requires an outlay of at least 3K for the record player to exceed the CD.As you know, there are many who...
