| Fm tuner Excerpt from linked article-"As for audio quality, here’s what I have observed so far: HD radio at 48 Kbps is wider in both frequency range and dynamic range than analog FM. The noise floor is also incomparably better—basically total silence. What... | |
| The Slow Secret Death of the Guitar Guitar Center has never been profitable. I beileve an article I read many years ago, they have been in debt since they went public.This isn't a surprise. I say it's simply part of the process. The slow death of R&R which was occurring by the l... | |

| Jazz for aficionados 0rpheus10- I left out mentioning you're giving me reason to revisit albums that have been collecting dust.Nancy does an album with pianist George Shearing that includes "All Night Long"Fantastic album-"The Swingins' Mutual." Highly recomended.Also... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10-Mary Lou isn't in my collection. Over the years I've heard her music,but never picked up an album.A write up on a favorite is welcome. | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic "PERFECT" Alignment" has eluded my Classic setup for years.I waffle between the supplied jig, Feikert with/without A.S.Things sound great, but now and then, vocals get a little out of control. These same records sound spectacular on a show rig, so... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great links on this page guys, thanks.With nearly 200 pages, I’ve got some catching up to do.O-so Dorothy didn’t grow on you? I gave it another whirl(had to dig deep to find her) and like it a little more this time. It’s an album to mix things up,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10-Howard is one of those guys many have heard, but not aware of. As Wiki mentions, he did so many of those show music themes in the 60-70's along with the wrecking crew stuff.Interesting you linked Dorothy Ashby. On a recommendation by m... | |

| Best copy of Wish You Were Here Just adding an interesting fact regarding the "Hot Stamper" reference.My local record store has had "scouts" from the HS camp, going thru the bins. This was several years ago.Yes, some of those $400 copies are indeed, $6 buck, regular presses.Tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-that was a tasty serving..thank you sir!I agree with frogmans assesment. If anyone is a Wes Montgomery fan, even his later albums are covers of "songwriter" and pop tunes with guitar doing the vocal lines. I've read that because of the declinin... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question zar-I think it is also is dependent on genre station listened to. If it's rock and pop, yes. On the PBS stations, not nearly as much, but the on air guys are flapping their gums way more than in the past. Some of the reason may now be listeners/co... |
