| CD playing Rituals Just got an order of 20 XRCDs today, Ed. Don't know where to begin. I tell you this. I found thee cd that will test, just, how very fast, extended, powerful and tight your subwoofer, my subwoofer, all the subs out there are. My sub passed, BTW. On... | |
| CD playing Rituals Now is Buscis2 a honey, or what. Gots to love the guy. peace, warren | |
| CD playing Rituals Buscis2!! Ed, where are you? Answer this baby. Wait to you hear what Ed goes through. I can attest, first hand, that disc tweaks, particulary, Eds', make a difference. I'm not willing to go through what Ed does, but I do a couple of the same thing... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Marty, I hated Naked Songs. Ricki Lee's voice doesn't hold its' own-like nails scaping on a chalkboard. She, for my ears, needs plenty of instruments. She's hard to take with just a piano or guitar. Just my humble opinion. She soars in Pop Pop, th... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Ricki Lee Jones--Pop Pop--she don't get better than that. Great recording with a voice as intimate she has ever been. | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Ed, bottom line is, spectacular recordings and all, (and I have them): Can she sing? NO! They are sweet recordings, though. Her voice is, more than, tolerable, but not like this new white girl, who sounds black and cool: Madeleine Peyroux. Can't w... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Marty, I agree with your "Jazz Lite" remarks, 'cept for the word horrible. It 'tis what it 'tis. It's really an oxymoron; "good lite jazz?" Hey, it's a start for some. An ending for others. I started with Boones Farm. It got me to the world of a f... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Hey, are the Oscars any different? Caberet over The Hours. Give me a break. Forget this year's Grammy debacle, not recognizing another great tune, by Paul Simon. Didn't get the Grammy for Mrs. Robinson, either. Anyway, I do beleive, Norah is the r... | |
| Why should a perfectly good cd, skip a beat ? I don't know what you're using now, but you do have an excellent rationale to upgrade your cdp. Then, clean your cds like Sean said. Clean them after you buy your new cdp, then you can always justify the purchase and the nirvana of your new sound ... | |
| Best relatively Compact Speakers in $2000 range?? Revel M20s. Love 'em. You do need killer stands with monitor speakers which up the price considerably. The M20s stands are poor. The stand is a significant extension of your speaker, so going cheap will have a deleterious affect on your music. Som... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? BTW, I'm seeing Norah Jones in concert at the Beacon at the end of June. 50th Birthday present from my daughter. I'll let you know the (live) deal. I'm hoping that she'll be testing out new material for her next album. Nothing like the Beacon. Int... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Ed, I agree with just about everything you said, but I came away with a different conclusion. I, what can I say, loved the album. No great voice, no great recording, no great nuttin, but I (though she didn't write most of 'em) loved the songs and ... | |
| Speaker stand height Tweeter at ear height is a good rule of thumb. However, my Revels, because of the tweeter dispersion will always do a tad better if the listeners ears are at or a little below the tweeter height. Which indicates, obviously, that this is very depen... | |
| Any potential harm in using adhesive CDR labels? Maybe not at (your labels) first, but certainly down the long audio highway. Rodargent is right on. peace, warren | |
| Hlp - my bookshelf spkr is like humpty dumpty Those cheap generic metal stands are killing your sound. Your stands are, almost, as important as your speakers. Thy are a very real/significant extension of your speaker and will effect the sound in many ways. I don't have a clue about your cat. ... |
