SACD - Dying already?
On that price thing...yep, I just saw a bunch of SACDs in Dearborn Music for $24.99. Again asked manager (who is a friend of mine) if they are selling any better, he said absolutely not. Said the "high res" discs have been moved three times throug... 
Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder
Believe it or not, when I play "Wooly Bully" at a party people love it. Of course, this is in a set with "The Twist", "Mony, Mony", "Gimmie Some Lovin", "Nobody But Me", etc.Hey, "Nobody But Me" by the Human Beinz...one hit wonder!Mwilson, thanks ... 
Svetlana 572-3 tube---Still available?
There was a reliability problem with them as they had a life expectancy of about 6-12 months. I know, I had Cary 572 monoblocks. Sounded great, lots of power, SET clarity and realness, but I went through 2 sets of power tubes in 1 1/2 years. Have ...

Not that I know of. Song was done by Betty Something-or-other about 1971.

So, again, a question concerning amps.
I also am a tube-aholic and the last S.S. amp I heard that was nice was a $5,000.00 25wt Accuphase. I haven't used solid state for amplification for over 18 years but have used four in my side DJ job (Muse, Supraphon, & Hafler). I've put them ...

It's fun to talk about them, isn't it?

I, too, remember well the Cryin' Shames and Shadows of Knight. Actually heard their version of 'Gloria' far more often back then than Them (Van Morrison, who wrote it). My "music mind" in the 60s was filled with James Brown (who rarely made it int...

Co-incidently, I just got a CD today with 10 iTunes. A friend made it from her home computer and contains just some pop songs. They sound pretty darn good! However, Janie says the selection from Apple is pretty limited. Anyone have any other legal... 
SACD - Dying already?
Uh oh, Radknee...the SACD crowd will put a contract on you.By the way, I was at a graduation party two weeks ago and the DJ was using an MP3 file to play music. Apart from the inability to mix songs, everything she played sounded harsh with no bas... 
What Amp for ProAc Response 3's?
Thanks, Ecclectique. There's a micro-brewery here in Michgan called "Bell's" and they make a delicious pale ale. However, they must not follow the proper technical beer brewing process because the ale is slightly cloudy and has a bit of sediment o...

Ha! Ha! "even in the midwest..."! We got to hear all the good bands back then...even the Beatles and Moby Grape!

I don't think "Seven and Seven Is" ever cracked the top 100. Pretty good album, though. 
SACD - Dying already?
Vinyl and turntables have "cache". SACD doesn't and unless it shows up in dozens of movies and TV shows (portrayed as something cooly retro) it never will. I borrowed an $800.00 Sony SACD multidisc player over the weekend. Sounded thin with unnatu...
