| Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's Dual 1219/1229/1249, Garrard Zreo-100, Philips with the heat-sensitive controls, Bang & Olufsen 4002. I have owned most of these at one time...-RW- | |
| unrelated to audio- digital camera buffs please Canons are good. I have a Toshiba and really like it. The most important thing for motorcycle usage (I'm a biker, too) is to find one that is ruggedly built. It would be nice if it had a built-in lens cap, not a separate plastic one that can get l... | |
| Review: Linn Majik CD Player Nice review, thanks. I, too, am a big HDCD fan. It's an extra bonus that most of the Dead's stuff is HDCD encoded. Check out Chris Isaak's CDs, some of those are HDCD, too.-RW- | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? I have heard a power cable make a "noticeable" difference, but I would not classify it as "huge". Since the power cable could be made for < $100, I consider it money well-spent. However, I would *not* spend $500 or more for what I heard. Just m... | |

| How many more years before cd's become passe? With all this pontificating about downloads and Squeezeboxes and such, there is one thing EVERYONE is forgetting: CDs are *portable*. I can take one with me and play it at everyone's house or in their car. You cannot do that with a Squeezebox, or ... | |
| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 As some have mentioned, the B&Os are limited to using their own cartridges. However, keep in mind that the tonearm was specifically designed for those cartridges. The tonearms are NOT flimsy, they are, however, exceptionally lightweight. This,... | |
| Turntable lamp? Sharper Image. I have a clamp-on LED lamp (with goose neck) from them doing exactly what you want to do. The clamp is a beast!! It's actually advertised as a barbecue grill lamp. I know it works quite well when I've got the music cookin'!!$100+ ??... | |
| The Best of the Best Well sort of - CD players I am somewhat biased, having owned (and been thoroughly delighted with) several Denon players, so keep that in mind when reading this.The Denon 5910 is the most versatile of the units listed, it will play any shiny disc except the new HD formats. ... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list You might want to schedule a visit to a Gallo dealer and check out their latest and greatest - they MAY just wail on the speakers you listed...If they do, feel free to send me 1/2 of the $30k I just saved you [smile].Nucleus Reference 5LS:http://r... | |
| Good sounding, small center speaker Well, I guess I'm the only one who has a Gallo as center, so I get to be the "authority" this time [smile]. I'm using a Due as my center (with Ref 3.1s for Fronts and more Dues in the Rear) and I think it sounds *great*. Those little speakers do N... | |
| Best MM for the money or? I have been quite satisfied with the sound from my 2 B&O MM carts, 1 is an MMC2 and the other an MMC1. The MMC1 was hand-calibrated and tested at the factory. The response graph enclosed with the cartridge is the flattest I have ever seen, +- ... | |
| CD Distortion Bad studio recording. It happens. Put the CD away and you'll be happy.-RW- | |
