| Labelling CD-Rs Buy a sharpie at your local drug store. I think it sould read do "not" use a water based marcker. Write on the inside clear part of the CDR. Some people I know say that the ink can effect the dye on the other side when written on the panted side. ... | |

| CD burners: Marantz vs. HHB I have highly recommended the 830 in the past for those interested in DtoD. I have found the HHB's to best the Marantz's A-D, too. However, if you haven't purchased the CDR yet you should try Sony's CDRW-33 or 66. Each has SBM processing, which I ... | |

| Sealed, 1st apple /James Taylor, JT album What if you came across a never driven, never sat in " add your favorite calssic car" wouldn't you feel a we bit strange taking it for a ride. Don't get me wrong, I am going to enjoy it....but somehow there is a sense of loss. | |

| Help on LP to CD Transfer Firms Ditto, you can buy a Sony CDR with SBM for $450-700 depending on the model, CDRW 33 or 66. Either of these units, coupled with you front end will do a great job of transfering. | |
| Well Tempered Turntable Tweaks I don't understand this post. You ask for tweaks and say you have tweaks but you don't mention or discribe the tweak.What's up? | |
| CD Recorders If you are recording D to D, I would suggest the HHB "Burn it". It is affordable and can be had for $450. It has Digital balance and volume control. If you are going A to D, I would suggest the Sony CDR 66, it has SBM and sells for sround $650. An... | |
| Grado SR325 vs RS-1 My understanding is that the drivers are the same. The difference being the part that holds the ear cup is made of aluminum on the 1's, as opposed to plastic on the 2's. Also, the 1's come in a nice box. I maybe wrong and if so I stand corrected.M... | |
| Interconnect for Rega Planet I use a home brew of DH labs 22 gage, silver/teflon, 3 conductor, 1 for hot and two for ground, braided with WBT "knock offs". After break in, around 50 to 100 hours, they completmented the Rega and I am very happy. The total cost was around $25.0... |
