| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS A column in the latest issue of "the absolute sound" discusses this subject and acknowledges that Brian Wilson was exploring creative multilayering in the making of "Good Vibrations" around the same time as the Beatles were crafting "Sgt Peppers L... | |
| Where is you money at latest reissues Audiophile pressings or higher end audio equipment. By a certain age, most audiophiles have multiple versions of the same music in different formats. Cassettes, vinyl, CDs and downloads, it's all good! Even in the same format (vinyl), it's hard to resist buying the MoFi version even if you own the ... | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Great insight on the Beatles’ creative process. The exploration of the unique sounds created by diverse instruments helped me remember that it took several listenings to get comfortable with this album. I just wasn’t ready for the revolutionary ch... | |
| Someone want to verify this? I expect to see this mystery unfold on the "Investigation Discovery" channel. Good work, Sherlock! | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's Just one last comment. Not all "original albums" are the same. I recall that, as a teen (in the 1960's), I always bought the UK versions of Beatle records as they simply sounded more natural, without the pumped up bass and exaggerated treble of th... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Wow, another never-ending thread! No surprise, there are as many opinions here as members. Just remember, opinions are like...well, you know, and everybody has one. If you start with the Walker table (as some have recommended), you still need to c... | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's I believe the Beatles management is now in the "milking mode" of material previously unreleased by the fab four. The one thing that becomes clear as I listen to raw takes is the magic that George Martin brought to the finished product. Don't misun... | |
| audio :the crazy room where they DONT WANT YOUR BUSINESS Your statement is thought-provoking, but you need to give some detail or you will just get these amusing responses. The dealers in this hobby can often be pretentious jerks, but to say "especially if you're older" just doesn't make sense, because ... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND This thread only confirms that there are scammers everywhere. There are a lot of ridiculous responses posted here. Look, the guy got ripped off and he's upset. Who wouldn't be? He's just trying to warn you so you don't repeat his experience. He ad... | |
| Are codex isn't working with Oppo when playing Blu-Ray As good as the advice is here on the forum, try calling the manufacturer. They usually have experience with similar problems and can offer a solution. It doesn’t make sense to keep trying DIY solutions, and you may end up doing some damage. I had ... | |
| My Audio Research experience What a nightmare experience! I have read so many glowing reviews about the stellar performance of ARC products that I have had high regard for their products. I guess I’ll have to rethink that Reference preamp and Classic 120 tube monoblocks that ... | |
| Cassette Deck?? otherone,I know how much room those 2000+ cassettes take up. I just sold my 2000+ cassette collection collection with a ZX-9. I'll miss them but I still have a small collection to use with my RX-505. If you no longer listen to cassettes you should... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? I bought a McIntosh MX130 preamp here on Audiogon several years ago. It had an audible hum that was not heard through the speakers. Someone on this forum suggested using sorbothane feet to reduce the hum. I did, and it worked! I also loosened the ... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. Dover,You must be an accountant. One that always sees the glass half empty. Considering that these records survived the stock market crashes of 2000 and 2008 without a loss, the 5% return was consistent with my municipal bonds. Also, since I sold ... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. Several years ago, I visited the Mobile Fidelity retail store in Sebastopol, CA (now long gone) and bought several albums right out of the display bins for $13.99 each. I kept them sealed for about twenty five years, and recently sold them to a re... |
