| Who do you like for equipment mods? For Adcom and Hafler gear I recommend John Hillig of Musical Concepts. This sage has been around since the 80’s and his work has been reviewed by among others Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I just got my Adcom 750 back after the Elite Mod and it’... | |
| "Automatic For The People" on vinyl I bought the 25th anniversary vinyl pressing 6 weeks ago but have not spinned it yet. I know there still out there so you now have another choice.I do know some of the original pressings had issues on the song Nightswimming. A warbbly sound in the... | |
| Adcom? I’ve owned the Adcom 555 since it was first made,bought it used. After reading a favorable review of a Musical Concepts Modified 555 in Absolute Sound I sent it too them and I had it modified. Very impressed with the results,gone was the grain in ... | |

| Analogue Productions Pet Sounds Reissues I have the AP MONO pressing of Pet Sounds and it sounds Uber.Wish AP would do Srgt. Pepper with the same care and results.For me both of these albums yield amazing Sonics and depth in Mono. | |
| Autographed Albums I have a few but my crown jewel would be my English gatefold import of Gasoline Alley autographed by Rod Stewart. | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway I have a Japanese import that sounds terrible,highs are elevated.In your opinion is the re master better than The original ATCO pressing? That's my go to copy. | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs For me it's about the recording and how it's done. Iggy Pops Brick by Brick on cd sounds better than my original import vinyl because the guitar mix on the vinyl hides the guitar. Same with Pat Benatars Crimes of Passion,the cd is clearer than the... | |
| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. Sorry for the delay. The Titan Pro is the best phono pre I have ever owned. I had been holding on to a Klyne 6a modified by Stan because with my associated equipment it was the best I had heard in my system but after owning The Titan Pro I sold it... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You In Search of the Lost Chord by the Moody Blues was a tough nut to crack. I could never get past side one. I gave my copy to a school chum. Years later in the late night on The Mighty Met KMET I heard lyrics Timothy Learys Dead (The Legend of a Min... | |
