| Playing iPod thru car system? I second Lapierre's suggestion about getting a new head unit, unless you have changer controls in which case you can do the add-on devices which give you an auxiliary input. I've used several FM transmitters and the best I've used is the HK Drive+... | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? How about the Platinum Audio Solo? Real bass, great detail, first-class finish. | |
| Recommendations for classical MFSL recordings Photon, After a little follow-up, the official MoFi website has a list of all MoFi recordings, past and present. Check it out. Happy listening, Sall4 | |
| Recommendations for classical MFSL recordings Have you heard/seen MFSL's (aluminum) classical cd's? Hard to find, but they're out there. Most were remastered from original Melodiya Soviet-era recordings. That Ravel is good (and was on a MFSL cd also) and I've had most of the catalog at one ti... | |

| Best U.S.A. speakers? How about Platinum Audio (now out of business)? Phil Jones is now with Soliquy and fomerly with Acoustic Energy. I still have a pair of Platinum Solo's which everyone raves about. | |
| haunting/dark classical Check out Hovhaness-Symphony No. 2 ("Mysterious Mountain") and Gorecki-Symphony No. 3. Both are dark and Hovhaness in particular reminds me of Vaughan Williams. Enjoy the music. Sall4 | |
| Allison One : woofer replacement Try Allisonacoustics.com for the factory replacements. I think that they might be close to the originals-I don't know. I know that Roy Allison is associated (once again) with the company somehow. I have a pair of Allison Seven's that had rotten su... | |
| Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane I always heard great music growing up with my dad, a jazz musician, and this was always one of his favorites and I think my all-time favorite. "Blue Train" is an essential Coltrane album as well as many others. Hartman's catalog is kind of inconsi... | |
| inexpensive cd player as gift The build quality on the Marantz I know is excellent. They have consistently been on a short-list for lower budget cd players and I know that some of the technology from the higher end models filter down to the lower ones. I don't know about state... | |
| Repair for Tandberg Troll? Hello, I'm familiar w/the Troll, but not sure about a fix for it. I had a Thorens power amp (very rare-same problem-distributor changed and no one had service info. on it) from the 90's that a place in Las Vegas was able to fix. It might be worth ... | |
| RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 I have the Wild version with Horenstein/LSO on Chesky. It is a great performance, and sound is ok for a 40 year old recording. Check it out if you have the chance. | |
| Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan I have several of Ella's discs, but I prefer Sarah Vaughan. One of her later releases on the Pablo label is my favorite with a real all-star group of Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson, Louie Bellson, and others. I have a Japanese version of it, but know th... | |
| Spanish Guitar I believe they are her brothers. | |
