| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Laurie Anderson is a very unique artist, her music is in a genere of one. I just finished recording her LP "Mr. Heartbreak" to tape on the reel. I will get "Homeland". | |
| Mingus, Charles Mingus? It is realy amazing how things go full circle. I have to make a long story long in order to explain this.Before CD's came out, I bought records "now" and played them later. If you saw a choice LP at the record store and walked around to decide, it... | |
| Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD? Hank Mobley "No Room For Squares" is a CD that I purchased as an LP when it was almost new. It features Lee Morgan, Andrew Hill, Philly Joe Jones, and John Ore. This CD is "Hard Bop" all the way. | |

| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? One of the Chinese tubes, the Suguang 12AX7 is as good as NOS or better than other new for sure. I swapped some out and quickly swapped them back in. | |
| Should I upgrade my turntable? Actually, everybody is right. Elizabeth is looking at this from a top "audiophile" point of view, which she is. From her point of view, the TT is crap. If you are happy with "midfi", you can not find a better TT. | |
| Top ten tube preamps While the CJ-PV12 would not rate in the top ten, it is the best Jazz Pre I have ever heard. When you drop some NOS RCA tubes in it, the horns take on a golden glow. | |
| To all tube lovers....... How can a tube lover recommend an SS amp? | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Love to Love You by Donna Summer is the sexiest song ever, followed by Maria Mauldaur, "Don't you Make Me High". | |
