| Classical CD Box Sets Living Stereo box set!!!!! Bought it, then realized I already have all albums as SACDs, presented the bix to my daughter-in-law. Should I say more?... I grab ALL box sets coming out, but my second advice re the content would be Philips box, it is ... | |
| Just got back from lp swap in frisco What did you get? I miss my life in Chicago, Lakeview was (I hope still is) such a nice neighborhood to spend a day-off browsing thru second-hand music stores... | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik Let me respecfully disagree with the previous "shameless promotion" sentiment: most of the dealers I was visiting in Chicago and now in LA are audiophiles first, they are not car salesmen. Maybe I was just lucky, but an advice from a dealer is as ... | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it Hate? No!, Zero, Nada, Not a single One! Does it make me a spineless coelacanth? I guess. I never liked Fleetwood Mac, or Jefferson Airplane, or ELP, or Dylan and still don't listen to 'em (but have the albums) Loved Uriah Heep, TD, Deep Purple, s... | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue I agree with all previous "evident suspects" simply because I got most of the albums as LPs or XRCDs.My five cents (rather a million-dollar advise, posted here for free!): Khmer by Nils Petter Molvaer, if you love Miles you will love this album.al... | |
| Recommend remasterd SACD albums? classical, jazz Camel albums, direct from Japan at cdjapan.co.jp I'm glad I lived long enough to this moment! I also posted at that old/dead thread mentioned by HEW | |
| Best SACD's Love Living Stereo SACDs. If just a single CD then it is definitely Brahms 1st Symphonie under Bohm (Esoteric SACD). Dead Can Dance SACDs as a Box set, but I still prefer recent LP pressings by MoFi | |
| Exotic vocal Not mainstream, not expected as per Western cultural standards, my guess... As when Debussy infused Eastern tunes into Western mainstream 100+ years ago. Not that easy to define nowadays that we r all mixed and racially-"corrected" but some geneti... | |
| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? VDGG album Live: totally awful both as CD and LP, such a shame! Bootled CDs of PF concerts sound better! | |
| Exotic vocal Lisa Gerrard, Yma Sumak, Cocteau Twins, you guys beat me to my all-time favorites (it is totally sick how many copies of original pressings LPs, 180g LPs, Japanese mini-LP CDs, SACDs copies I collected but not listening to...). Since Bjork had bee... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP I feel your pain! Bought Japanese mini-LP set with a promo box of Camel, and now they reissued all Camel albums as SACDs! What to do, "what a poor boy should do"... | |
| CD ripping You should definitely rip your CDs in Apple Lossles before dumping them! Or flac, wav, whatever...I have a hard time noticing the difference and then questioning my hearing when listening thru iPod into SR-71 into Sennheisers but with Pono into ba... | |
| LP Cleaning I feel like a spineless worm but I agree with what astro and whart are saying!... Being happily married for like a zillion years, a few kicks below the belt feels normal, Vinyl-style to me. My 5 cents is that Milty Zero stat II is a cheap peace of... | |
| Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,, Another 5 cents from uninformed vinyl-head: I Love my totally-Naim-ed and Keel-ed Sondek but given another chance I would try DPS/Ayre TT. Based solely on the reviews from Art Dudley of Stereophile. Lame advice, I know, my only excuse is that DPS ... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP 2channel8: I have CDS3 for CDs and Wadia for SACDs, for the last few months I am torturing myself trying to choose which one to keep and cannot choose! Keeping both, feel real stupid about this. |
