| New shipping charges at Amazon If you ask me, Amazon's rate for shipping used, third-party music and movie items is a bargain. If you buy a lot of items frequently, then you might want to consider Joining Amazon Prime; then you don't have to spend at least $25 to get free shipp... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? The original poster requested that I've been listening to the albums listed for at least five years... well, how about forty years for at least two of them.Iron Butterfly's Metamorphosis, Nilsson's A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, and Sc... | |
| Frank Zappa re-masters I guess not. I would have liked to read about the new reissues, but apparently Zappa and audiogon members don't mix. | |
| Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is? I have a few of the new releases that cost me $35 each from the usual sellers to audiophiles.I have SOLD, however, the Pink Floyd boxed set called, The First IX (or was it XI?) to a buyer on ebay several years ago for ~ $950. | |
| Your favorite place to order new vinyl. I had vaguely remembered Soundstage Direct, but when someone mentioned that your shipping is free for orders of $29.99 or more, I decided I would give them a try. | |
| Sundazed Records The only Sundazed LP I have so far is S&G's Bridge Over Troubled Water. I bought it because my 3 original pressings are all in pretty bad shape. I am waiting for some upgrade parts to my record cleaning machine to see if any of those 3 are sal... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? It's not really a matter of not finding this particular CD although it is very rare. I want this one to complete a collection. Once I find it I will have ALL of the Classic Records gold CDs that were released in the mid to late nineties. I have ad... | |
| Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs Well, I was hoping that there would be something familiar among your list of recordings, Eweedhome, but, alas, I have none of these. Nor have I ever had the good fortune to hear the legendary Linn CD 12, but its reputation would have me thinking t... | |
| Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs This has been an interesting thread. My sensitivity to a quality sound system that produces irritation in the higher frequencies is, no doubt, similar to others who have posted here, and, like so many others, my reaction to Eweedhome's description... | |
| Help with Rosinante Speakers Thanks everyone. Sorry Tomryan, one of the speakers has had the drivers removed. These, specifically are what I need:tweeter .. Focal TC90TDXmidbass Focal 7V014DBLSince both are discontinued items, I am thinking about looking for substitutes that... | |
| Advice: My first SACD? I've owned a couple different SACD players since 2001, and my advice is somethibng like Ghasley's: don't just buy something because it's available in the SACD format because more often than not you will find that there is not enough of a POSITIVE ... | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Not certain that I could give any credence at all to Macrojack's assumption regarding the corporate takeover of pop music SINCE Regan. My guess is that there have always been types that scout for music that will make the kids happy, and his employ... | |
| What's a Triode configuration? While I don't disagree with Judy426's assertions. and my last ARC product was purchased more than two decades ago, my own take on this is that many audiophiles who have toiled through the process of learning what listening is all about (I bought m... | |
| Info on Gale Maximum Fidelity Recordings Most of the Gale recordings were done in England by a man named Graham Whiting. He subsequently began his own label, Merlin Records, that produced a number of albums of similar recording technique and manufacture. As I recollect, there were about ... | |
| RCA Living Stereo SACD batch 3 I've been only mildly disappointed in these, but not for any lack of detail or most other characteristics that might be attributed to the DSD recording format. Instead, I find that there is a slightly metallic sound to several of these that probab... |
