| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I'm impressed (or shocked) at the large quantities of records that many members have accumulated. I only have about 250, even if you count the double disc albums. I only add if I see something interesting. I was in an antique store recently and fo... | |
| A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service SkyFi seems to be clearing out their closet on "New Today". I was alerted to their ads by their prices. I’ll admit that many of their items are classics, but so are their prices. LOL! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Emmylou Harris, "The Best of Emmylou Harris" | |
| Van Morrison Latest Record Project Van Morrison is like Bob Dylan... sometimes great, sometimes not as great but always worth a listen. I've been a fan since "Moondance" and "Astral Weeks". | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" David Byrne is a genius. I’m no fanboy but if you don’t have this CD, you should get it! | |
| What tracks offer the best left right separation? Some of the early Beatles records had singing in one channel, music in the other. Now, that was separation! | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Steely Dan’s "Aja" has always been my reference while listening to vinyl. In fact, I even enjoy the CD version. Is it too bright? Who cares, I love the SD sound. Donald Fagen’s "The Nightfly" is also a favorite. | |
| THE WORST SELLERS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS, Audiogon, Audiomart, E-bay.....Others I have bought a lot of stuff here on Audiogon over the years, and never been scammed.

| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? I went to the record store on Friday and bought both "My Life" and "Infamous Angel" by Iris Dement. Her voice is sweet and her lyrics are sentimental. She reminds me of Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith. I like her sound and will just ignore her p... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? bdp24,"My Life" is the one I have written down. Thanks for putting me on to Iris Dement. Your original post reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Natalie Merchant. While I have seen her live several times, and have every record she has made (w... | |
| Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here? You’re unlikely to get a palpable soundstage with speakers out on the deck so I think a set of those composite JBLs will work fine. Also, you won’t need to make an appointment with a "By Appointment Only" audio salon, just drop into any Best Buy t... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Candidly, I have heard her name but not her music. You mentioned some of my favorite performers: Natalie Merchant; David Byrne; Emmylou Harris, and Joan Osborne. I’ve written her name down and will look her up next time I’m in the record store. Yo... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? Rolling Stones-"Their Satanic Majesties Request" | |
| Quest to find a decent sounding ,picture Blu-ray player I’m sure there are lots of good choices these days for a "...decent sounding, picture Blu-ray player." Since your budget seems to be around $1K, I have another suggestion. The Pioneer BDP-09 BluRay player was introduced several years ago at $2200.... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Johnny Ray- "Greatest Songs" Really like this CD. Thanks Goodwill store! |
