T.Y. is my main brand. Again, I use the best media and storage possible.This problem is well spread and not limited to brand type.Warning, "do not expect to use CDR as a media form". As for analog tape, well, there are many reports of shredding an... 
Turntable suggestions?
Check the ad section. Right now there is a Well tempered record Player for sale for $550. Couple that with a Benz Gliber/ or Silver or Grado woods and you have a great system for less than $1000.

Why not power your own DC
A 12 volt 7 amp lead battery is roughly, 3"x3.5"x6". That is really not very big. And, they can be bought for $17.00 to $25.00. A smart charger can be had for $10.00 and you can make or buy a voltage converter for around $15.00.As for regulation. ... 
The best POT you ever had
The year was 1974 and I was at a Grateful Dead concert. 
Grado SR-225 or Sennheiser HD580?
The SR series are a little darker with way less rez than the RS series. If you are serious about headphone listening, I would suggest you have a listen to the RS 2. They are about the same list price as the Sen 600's, but IMO, have better rez, bas... 
What to do... US Postal Money order not received.
This is why I COD everything with Postal Money Orders. I get a real scream out of the person who ask that I send the money order first and after they receive it, they will send out the product. Right, I'm going to trust someone with pay first and ... 
MCA's Hendrix 8LP set
You can buy Dylans, "Love and Theft" lp with confidence. I own both the cd and lp and the lp sounds fantastic. Usually there is no comparison, the lp sounding way better than the cd but in this case the cd is closer than usual. However, I still pr...

Dylan on Drugs ?
I have both the vinyl and CD. 99 percent of the time I enjoy vinyl more, which is true in this case. The sound stage is slightly more 3 dementional. Although, they are very similar in sound and timbre, I again give the nod to vinyl.This is an extr... 
Dylan on Drugs ?
When I stated Dixieland I meant ragtime. Sorry. 
Dylan on Drugs ?
I am a Dylan fan. However, I find that eveytime he comes out with a new album, post 1990, the critics call it the best since Desire, ect. I listen and usually find a rehash of the same themes and chord structures. I judge an album by how many time... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
I think you meant "IYO" when you made your statement comparing the McCormick to Classe'. I would agree they have a different sound but as to which is better....that is for the listener to decide. I don't consider myself the final authourity on abs... 
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Kevzeik,The statement you qouted does not say that the design is the same, just the design "philosophy". Philosophy and circutry can be two different things.Anyway, I own a CA101 and feel that it meets my needs better than a McCormick, ie. DNA .5 ...
