| Steely Dan covers? Toto covered "Bodhisattva" on Through The Looking Glass (2002). The Hoops McCann Band (all LA studio musicians) did a nice CD of big band arrangements of SD songs (1988). | |
| is there life after the indra?? I just heard a pair of Indra ICs in a Linn Unidisk SC/Halcro MC20/Linn Akurate (pre/power/speaker) system w/ a tricked out LP-12 as a second source: the Indra was clearly bested by a $500 IC (sorry, name eludes me). Indra was WAY too forward in it... | |

| Technics Turntable question Shure M97xe is a good budget choice (MM). | |
| Used universal player Heartily agree w/ the Denon DVD2200 choice. No glaring weakness w/ any format and can function as a quality transport down the line. I owned 2 of the Pioneer players before the Denon and the improvement was vast. I've seen several come and go on e... | |
