| NYC area thrift shop vinyl There is nothing "thrift" about NYC. QUite the opposite. You will need to travel to NJ, or CT or Long Island to find any vinyl stores with reasonable prices. For any "thrift" in NYC you need to find the Salvation Army stores and such and trust to ... | |

| NYC area thrift shop vinyl There's a little shop not too far from you in New Paltz. Might be worth the ride there some weekend. Nice little town and great hiking up at Mohonk.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Given my AMP and DAC, which preamp? How about a modded Squeezebox II directly into the Dodson (nice DAC BTW). No need for a preamp unless you have something else to plug in.Enjoy,Bob | |

| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Perhaps he was turned down when he approached Wilson about advertising in his mag? Vitrolic? absolutely. Axe to grind? Perhaps.In either case I have also not been overly impressed with wilson speakers on the few occasions I've heard them. Certainl... | |
| Montana speakers, musical? Good Value???? You must hear them for yourself, just like any other speaker. In general I've found them to be very musical, with a softer top end than you will find on speakers having ribbons or metal tweeters. In that regard they are very enjoyable without fati... | |
| Best SS Amp with tight clean bass Then there's always McCormack | |

| Who has heard & compared the good tables? I'll second a used, older Well Tempered as a true high end bargain for the price (Bob | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Save yourself. Make a choice then never, ever go back and do it again. Comparing cables truly sucks and should only be done with one goal in mind ... to pick one then enjoy it forever.Bob | |
| McCormack DNA-2 vs DNA-225 I believe you mean an older DNA 1 and a 225. They basically have the same power output, but the 225 incorporates some of Steve's Revisions that he offers as a separate service. I believe the Rev B mods on the older amps (.5 and 1)reasonably equate... | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock Return to Forever had a few acoustic cuts. No Mystery had a few and the earlier ones were mostly acoustic, although Chick would break out the distorted Rhodes on them too.Most of the acoustic "prog" that I know of is more jazz than rock though.Ear... | |
| King Crimsom rediscovered Always like the pre-Belew King Crimson, but definitely didn't like the Thraaak era. However, I believe their recent one "The Power to Believe" is probably the best thing they've done in 20 years.Certainly harder than Court or Lark's Tongue, more l... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A box. It's packed away due to imminent house construction. The stylus guard and arm are taped down and a box is over the whole plinth for protection. Sitting on a shelf so nothing else can be placed on top accidently.Enjoy yours - cause it's gonn... |
