Zal Yanovsky, guitarist with the Lovin Spoonful
I used to see them perform in the early days of the Cafe Wha, Cafe A Go-Go and at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village. Zal was definately the looney one of the group. He'll liven up the place in rock and roll heaven.BTW- How is it that John Sabast... 
Why I am Selling
I need the money for a "fix." 
difference between CD recorder and PC burner
The Alesis Masterlink 9600 also does an excellent job recording vinyl onto cdr's. 
Do you pay seller for packaging supplies?
Whether you purchase from a store or private seller, the seller should take full responsibilty for packing the item in a manner that will provide substantial protection. Do stores charge for the proper packing? Not to my knowledge. Should sellers ... 
difference between CD recorder and PC burner
I useed to burn my cdr's on my Macintosh G4 using Toast. I always thought they sounded pretty good. Not as good as the originals, but close enough. Especially, since I only use the cdr's for my car stereo. I learned to extract the music on to my h...

How 'bout a testimonialI sold a pair of NBS Monitor 1 speaker cables to an individual who didn't believe in cable burn-in. He emailed me telling me the cables sucked and that his former Monster Cables were superior. I told him to give the cables a... 
No good new music?
I purchased approx. 2-3 cd's and/or vinyl per month. I too have to say it was the "older" acts that impressed me the most this past year. In addition to those mentioned already, I was very happy with the reissues of Bob Marley and the Wailers, The... 
Deja Vu All Over Again

Does anyone know of a non-digital sounding cd?
I agree with Jfrech. The Mapleshade label produces cd's that are very "analog sounding." The Chesky label also produces some great recordings without the digital edge. I have over a dozen XRCD and XRCD2's. I consider these very high definition sou...
