columbia vinyl dylan remasters
Comfedboy and all others; The Absolute Annaloge recording of Blood On The Tracks and Highway 61 albums are the best versions ever of them..don't hesitate if you get the chance to hear or buy. 
TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog
Psycho: Agreed on the fluid damping. Well Tempered did a variation of it, one of it's considerable strong points. I couldn't afford it at the time. I'm not sure that Wax wants to join the buy and modify group as opposed to buy and start enjoying r... 
TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog
I thinks it's great that you want to get into analog as it's my belief that analog is the state of the art in music. Digital is the state of the art in salesmanship. CD's should be relegated to new recordings not the tried and true of the glorious... 
Cheap preamp/no preamp/passive preamp question...
Educate me folks, please; Is there such a thing as a phono only passive pre amp? I don't listen to CD's radio or tapes I have nice tube amps I want to use in secondary system that will be phono based. I'd like suggestions or information from cheap... 
MCA's Hendrix 8LP set
Haven't heard the Hendrix box set so I can't comment on it per se. The last two weekends I sat in on comparison trials concering Hendrix Band Of Gypys (original Track, Japanese Nippon pressing, Classic reissue and original Capitol) Original Track ... 
Monitors vs Full Range
It all comes down to what you like and listen for in music reproduciton. I have a Kinergetic sub system (2 10" woofers per side driven by passive crossover and 150 watt amp) which offers extreme flexiblity in speaker choice and placement. When usi... 
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf?
I'm in a similar situation. My only additinal advice would be to avoid and ported speaker for the bookshelves. 
Speakers for Classical Music
Sham makes a good point. Low level details at low levels would be high on my list. I've recently listened to a few speakers for various applications. The Spendor SP 100 is a great speaker for music overall. When used as a full range speaker I don'... 
The passing of a Canadian Icon
Ture there are several ways to file bankruptcy but the reasons are usually a) to restucture the debts or b) to erase the debt. The causes are basic supply and demand, most of the time too much supply and too little demand. 
The passing of a Canadian Icon
Like it or not, it's a sign of the times. No one who takes music seriously has counted on finding anything meaningful in places like Tower. Tower use to be a music store run by people remotely interested in people. Now it's run by dim witted air h... 
Why no more Mercs? Is the end near?
Rcprince, I do comb the used bins regularly. In my area (Wash DC metro) the bins are closing down. The vinyl landscape as well as cd, is changing radically. Of the four good shops remaining one is for sale, one might close due to competition from ... 
Are record rumors true?
Flash! Just got my new Music Direct mailer. Front page article DCC out of business. Presumably MD reps had been to the recent audio shindigs as the rest of the high end club was. Someone is wrong on the topic. At the prices they are asking for "ra... 
Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US
From one who would know, (I stand corrected), Songbird is being released from UK. I would try the ususal suspect's, such as Red Trumpet etc to try and order from. 
Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US
I got word somehow that Songbird is being released on vinyl. I don't remember who is issuing the LP but it is not belix. I'll research and post. Should be great! 
Are record rumors true?
This thread is not going too well! Any reliable info the vinyl titles? How about the Classic Mercury information? Frankly, SACD is an expensive experiement at this point, something the audiophile commiunity should leave to the majors to possibly f...
