| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Only after spending some bucks on Wadia 781i and Naim CDS3 and tons of efforts/$$ hunting down boxes of Japanese mini-LP CDs. Lesson learned the hard way, but I soo hated warped LPs that just refused to hear the obvious!... | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: All of the above plus Yello, BoneyM, Eruption, Enigma, Aquarium... Is this a test on how "low" does one go?..., am I the winner? :-) Please, I wanna win this one! ;-) Even downloaded Lady Gaga and Kanye West, but could not go there without soiling... | |
| emm labs cdsa cd stuck in transport There are hi-end companies and Hi-End companies out there... When I called Linn about troubles with my Linn Classik the response was No!, it is no longer serviceable. My Naim CDS3 got its transport fixed and upgraded twice over the last 5 years. W... | |
| I'm melting!! This is a drawback of a natural rubber. As all Linn Sondek users know, and I have learned in an unpleasant way! I have pARTicular rack (approved by The Boss!!!) and its a light birch veneer... Melting black rubber totally destroyed it! Re. the pri... | |
| Problem with CD Baby cds I have exactly the same problem: some CDs just won't play. CDR copy plays fine, CDRW(!!) copy plays fine which means that the lens is clean (i opened the player and cleaned it with Zeiss lens cleaner anyway). Total mystery to me! But at least it i... | |
| Is this a disgrace to the Industry ? @folkfreak Thank You! That one looks fun!!!@desktopguy Got it! These last few years I discovered soooo much new musik which I like, off ECM label and Steve Hoffmann forum (for PF fans) that the flood of new CDs, downloads, and LPs, (plus all those... | |
| Is this a disgrace to the Industry ? My first reaction was: what an abomination! Then I noticed that the project already got funded by a quater-mil dollars and realized that I must have a Lot of insecurities (I do!). A few months ago we discussed Levitating TT, now they have platter... | |
| emm labs cdsa cd stuck in transport I had the same thing with my Wadia. My advice: not be afraid to pop up the hood. In my case the plastic pulley cracked, the price of a new one was 1% of shipping for repair. What really bummed me was that Wadia tech support said that they do not h... | |
| Best divorce album? Let it Be, absolutely!...but listening to Wish You Were Here puts a more positive spin on the idea of a "divorce". Without Syd the guys just took off into another realm... actually, opened that other side for all of us! | |
| New in 2017 @ebm. Brilliant!!! Sounds like something from Greek philosophy classes: all is Fire - no, it is earth - No, everything is crap! More often than not I, too, have to force myself to enjoy the music instead of listening to the awesomeness of my lates... | |
| Eurock Magazine Yes! Eurock was my fav site until maybe 10 years ago for electronic musik. It was a great place to build a collection for those who, like me, already loved TD, KS, Ashra... Maybe if Archie had set up a chatroom, like what we have here for American... | |
| moody soundtracks Once we get rid of Gladiator, PeterGabriel and Vangelis, top spot for "moody" musik goes to David Lynch CDs (yes, of Moolholland Drive fame). Sublime and deeply disturbing... Nils Petter Molvaer soundtrack is almost as good as his "Khmer" masterpi... | |
| New in 2017 I am looking forward to the next Steven Wilson album, he promised something in his Aug 2016 YouTube interview. Hope he will come to his senses and produce something kinda his Porcupine Tree output... Am I the only one? | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Joni Mitchell, Patricia Barber, Diana Krall and Norah Jones are the "evident suspects" here... Well overdone at each hi-end show...I go with Mme Butterfly or Lisa Gerrard/Dead Can Dance or my fav Cocteau Twins (Elizabeth Frazer) to nurture my deep... | |
| Mono vs stereo When listening in the car, All mono CDs sound so much better to me that I wish car stereo had a Mono button. |
