| "Best" Beethoven 9 Symphonies Recording, Digital I like the version from the Penguin guide recommended box set of Gunter Wand and the NDR Symphony.Also Ferenc Fricsay’s version on DG with the Berliner Philharmoniker is enjoyable on vinyl. | |

One band that is in a similar vein is Brand X that Phil Collins, John Goodsall and Percy Jones were in for a short period in the late 70s early 80s, and that approached, at times, compositions and guitar work that were like some of Mahavishnu, alb... | |
| How many will listen to tape and vinyl in the next century? The odds are better in Vegas than betting on this one. Plus, it's too early in the current century to make such a prediction...oh wait, I get it, this was an invitation for smiling and good natured trolls, cynics and SNL wannabes. | |
| Need help with my c2300 You have a tube that has gone microphonic. This same thing has happened to me a couple of times. See if you can order a low noise/tested for microphonics version of that tube from a reputable but reasonably priced dealer such as Tube Depot. |
