What piece of music can you play over & over?
From the opposite view, when listening to Carmen McRae's album "I Am Music", the song on side two, "Who gave you permission" stops me in my tracks and only the sound of silence can be a follow up. Have not heard another song with anything like its... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Schipo, you make a good point, no pun intended. It may be that the added cost of getting the art work into a little booklet may remove the profit margin from getting the CD to you that you seek. Again, am talking about the out of print CD's, and g... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
A better version of what I had translates to either a different conductor, orchestra, group, etc. than the original CD I had, not the same CD that was bettered by Arkiv. Is it a bit more, yes, but they are also putting out disks that are simply no... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Schipo, while I agree with you in the idea of hunting down the original CD pressing, there is something to be said for convenience and being able to get the CD you are looking for in a one stop shopping experience, which is what Arkiv offers. I ha... 
Columbia or Epic
Szell and Dvorak 5th symphony but there are others such as Kertesz on Vox or Decca, in both cases the same company but what about the quality of the product? There are records and there are records. Just trying to figure out the best of those avai... 
My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now

Will he give a discount if he stores it for you? 
How did you choose your equipment?
In recent history, using the net to find out who has what for sale that interests me and auditioning it for a few weeks to a month. Being willing to spend several months if necessary to find what works to my ears, is fine with me.Many differences ... 
Sell Hi-Fi and invest in stock market?
From now till March 15 investing is a total gamble. Until Obama is inaugerated and has authored some legislation it is way to early to know how the market will react, even after he has asked Congress to pass such and such or confirm so and so we w... 
Saved by a Bose Wave radio
The Bose radio CD alarm clock works actually quite well,it tells time accurately, and has a battery back up for power failures, short duration only. The alarm feature lets you wake up to the CD of your choice, in my case an original version, non o... 
feet and legs
Don't know if you can find someor have it fashioned to what you want, but Iron Wood, yes there is such a thing, is about as dense as it gets and as heavy, Ebony is right up there with it. Check it out, if it will do what your looking for, you can ... 
Vinyl Find of the Week?
Odetta sings Keith Richards etc. great find, could use a better album with less surface noise but the music and voice overcome everything to make a fine performance 
recapping crossovers....do or don't?
Have you asked MIT? Just because they do not use pricier caps does not mean they might not have a suggestion. It never hurts to ask, and who would better know.
