| LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS Alright, now here is the "real deal". I am almost ashamed to admit this, but you can go down to your local BestBuys and look for the Atlantis CD rack. Now they have plenty of junk so hold your nose as you look. It helps with the smell. You can wea... | |
| Is the Cassette Recorder Dead? Everything has a fringe or collectable market. And, I suppose if you are looking at fringe and collectable then absolutely nothing is dead. Therefore, excluding this variable, I predict that within 5 years, (+ or -) 2 years, you will be discussing... | |
| CD Burners: Which one to buy? The best and most affordable unit, in the stand alone catagory, is: The HHB "Burn it". It accepts computer grade CD and is a pro-unit. It also has digital recording control and balance (all in the digital domain). They can be purchased for $450 to... | |
| Is the Cassette Recorder Dead? Well, it maybe better than those items. However, it is not better than DAT or CDR. CDR is the replacement for cassette and does provide better performance as well as convenience.Everyone owns a CD player and the next logical step in consumerism is... | |
| Is the Cassette Recorder Dead? If you own the equipment use it till it drops. But don't spend a penny on repairs! The cassette is dead, dead, dead, dead! The reason LP's aren't dead is because they sound better than CD's and there is alot of stuff not available on other formatt... | |
| Stereophile "coverage" I've heard that emap is selling out and took a large loss on their purchase of Stereophile. "See Audioasylum for John Atkinson's posts." I can't help but feel that most of the complaints about the size of the magazine, what's on the cover and prod... | |
| FM radio for biking? As an advid cicylist and audiophile I would strongly discourage listening to any spoken word or music while riding a bike on a road. You put yourself at great risk of injury. This is really uncool and not good behavior or modeling. Please reconsid... | |

| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Pair of Magnapan MGIIA. I have owned them since 1986. They have been rebuilt by Magnapan in 1990, rewired and upgraded crossover by myself. I have also done slight cosmetics and spiked them to improve their sound. I'll keep them for a while longer. | |
| CD recorder advice sought One of the better and more affordable pro units is the HHB 830 "Burn it". Somewhere at around $550. It is built to last and is the now consider the budget reference within those in the know! | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? The only thing Best Buys is good for is that they carry Atlantis CD racks. Atlantis make a 500 rack that is very much like Boltz with MDF side pannels. However, instead of costing $200 + they cost only $75. These are very attractive and have alumi... | |
| Stereophile Lately, all of their months leave a lot...... It seems as though the publisher has slimmed down the content in order to maximize profits. This would include both the individual review as well as the number of reviews. It like Stereophile is on a d... | |
| DAT's not all folks If you read my post, maybe I didn't make it clear, I stated that according to Oade Sony "WILL" continue to support Dat up to and possibly through 2002. If and when they stop parts for repairs will be available for 5 years.My first post was in rega... | |
| Stereophile Thanks for the feedback. It appears that this is not pervasive and just a problem with my deliverer. Thanks everyone. | |
| DAT's not all folks Gthirteen, My post was in response to Marc Nutter's information on the eventual and soon demise of Dat. Please read my prior posting for greater details. |
