| Favorite driving music Pat Metheny Group Still Life Talking by a mile,Dick Dale the King of the Surf Guitar and without a doubt Hot Rod Linclon by Commander Cody both radio hit and live version and original Charlie Ryan. | |
| Favorite Pianists Vladimir Horowitz is my favorite musician.Byron Janis is excellent also for classical.Both play Rachmaninoff to my liking.I never cared for Van Cliburn playing Chopin. | |
| Do any of the CD lens cleaning discs work? Yes it works for me.I clean the lens quite often with the Allsop and MoFi stylus cleaner #9 otherwise the sound gets compacted,less treble reach and soundfield.In winter with woodstove I do it almost every session. | |
| Ebay LP Purchases I think Ebay recently tighten up the selling standards and threatened to cut off sellers who get bad feedback as I was told by a few dealers I bought from.I look for close to 100% positive and a return policy.Also if in doubt I ask questions.So fa... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? I have the original stereo london Aftermath LP and is the best of the originals that I have.That's the one to own IMO from original early pressings.Not being a huge Stones fan I find some of their vinyl runs from poor to excellent on the same LP. | |
| Broke my clearaudio stylus tradein or look at othe I went the fastest route,traded it in for a new one at music direct,back in again in 2 days,sounds better than the old one.I called and emailed soundsmith with no replies,guess they don't care or want my business.Thanks for all the advise. | |
| Broke my clearaudio stylus tradein or look at othe Thanks,yes I bent the cantilever.Another option I didn't think of was trying my B+O MMC2 but I will need the adapter for $50 just to try it.I played it on the Beogram TT but felt it needed a better table to fully realize itself.Then I don't know w... | |
| Best vibration isolation device for cd player? While there is much better and more expensive devices I found a combo of pico feet under and vibrapods on top of trap quite an improvement along with my mapleshade platform on my oppo.I would experiment with top and bottom vibration control by the... | |
| Granite and digital.. What about those new pico feet from audio advisor?I put a set under my player and then put the vibrapods there before on top of cabinet by tray with a little weight on top of them.For $25.excellent bang for the buck ratio. | |
| Power Cord Recommendation for Bryston 4B SST2 I tried the Shunyata Venom3 on my Bryston B100,heard better high end and detail,nothing dramatic but pleasing in long listening so I kept it.I also treat the ends with Deoxit gold as all other cables which for $30. is very cheap upgrade.You may li... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD On Pat Metheny Still Life Talking and Letter from Home Lp's the difference is dramatic compared to the cd,far better in every respect.But my cd player is not equal of my TT in all fairness.But even so it can produce great sound fed a great soundin... | |
| Your Wish List for Reissue on Vinyl Dire Straits On Every street | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I am happy with both mediums.I have vinyl days and digital days listening.I recently got a mint original Zodiac Cosmic sounds Lp which is not out on CD,one reason I will never part with my TT.I am also not happy with 40-50 year old digital release... | |
| FAVORITE LP'S OF 2011 I got Dick Hyman Age of Swing 45 rpm and some good sounding 33's for a buck or two at my local record store. | |
| Quality Pressings I bought the 45rpm Dick Hyman also,very pleased with it,just one or two bad grooves for a split second,but excellent otherwise.I'm thinking about the firebird also but like analog classical LP's better.Even on the 45 Hyman I can hear significantly... |
