| Are Disc Players Dead? Timrhu, Macdad is a BIG vinyl fan. I have read many of his posts on the subject. So, knowing that he considers vinyl to be alive, I tried to answer his question about digital discs from that perspective. That is why I referred to vinyl. I have not... | |
| A Walk in The COUNTRY Tom Russell. His early work with the Tom Russell Band is my favorite era but he continues to put out excellent cds.Jerry Jeff Walker. I'd recommend only his early work, up through "Ridin' High".I don't know if either sound like Jamey Johnson, thou... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Cds still outsell vinyl by about 200 to 1 so I think if you consider vinyl to be alive you would also consider cd to be alive and well. | |
| Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp? I think it is a multichannel version of the ET250S amp. The ET 250S is a current Stereophile class A amp. I agree Spearit Sound would be the people to talk to about it. | |
| CD mastering a lost art? I agree that most cds aimed at the top 40 sound like crap, but I find that many artists out of the mainstream put out very good sounding cds. Most of the remasters of classic rock, country, blues and jazz sound very good also. There's more good st... | |
| Audio Fidelity Gold CDs I have "A Space In Time" by Ten Years After. It sounds great, if slightly psychedelic classic rock suits your tastes. | |
| moding and the inexperienced Many people swear by mods but they are not for those just starting out.I think the best way to get started is find a pair of speakers you like then get an amp that works well with them. Likewise for your source components (cd player, server, turnt... | |

| Need advice on CJ preamps One more thing. The 16 and 17ls (I and II) make a clicking sound when the volume is changed. Some people find this annoying and don't like these preamps for that reason. Apparently the people at c-j felt that the sound quality that this volume mec... | |
| Need advice on CJ preamps You want to go with the 17ls II. The series II version has the teflon capacitors which many people feel are an improvement over the 17ls. I haven't compared the two.You should be able to get one in the $2400 - $3000 range, I'd guess.It uses 4 6922... | |
| West Coast Blues A couple more came to mind.Little Charlie and the Nightcats, later Rick Estrin and the NightcatsRick Estrin, vocals and harp, always had been the frontman but made it official when Little Charlie, guitar, decided to get off the road. Rick's vocals... | |
| West Coast Blues Love it. Great stuff!Rod Piazza and the Mighty FlyersKid Ramos - first two or three albums, then he went off the rails | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? Absolutely, everyone should sell their cds and buy Lps. | |
| Hi- Res download newbie You're welcome. I have read a lot about different Apple software resulting in changes in sound quality but none about windows software.I think you can be confident that using the flac converter will not affect sound quality and pretty sure that IM... | |
| Hi- Res download newbie Trader's Little Helper is a perfectly good flac converter but you can get THE flac converter itself. Just google flac. It's free and easy to install.IMG works fine for burning. I don't know if it's the best though. |
