| Any opinions on John McLaughlins last album? Anything McLaughlin with Indian musicians should be excellent... although may never again equal Shakti's "Natural Elements" | |
| What Vintage Speakers/Marantz Original Advents... JBL L-65 Jubals.. Snell E-III's would be nice.. so would be any of the new Rega's for that matter..some Altec 19's would sound great! | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Well all of you have beaten me to it.. same comments on Stand Up, Benefit, and the RRK flute comment by Viridian.I have 'em all on vinyl so I couldn't tell you what to buy on CD.. | |
| JBL 250 TI or JBL 4425 please vote Krelladdict.. yep, you are right about the 'watts the same' I had a 50 wpc Forte 1a romped all over a SAE 200 watter for example.. | |
| best resistors 2nd on Mills.. Savant Audio did a mod on my Benz phono unit with Mills and it is terrific. | |
| Warmed cleaning fluids just dump em in the jaccuzi for a whirl. | |
| JBL 250 TI or JBL 4425 please vote 'Loud and Proud' ha I love it, man. The 250i has the reputation as being the best JBL speaker made (this is the one with 14" woof's, slanted side, right?) But the L-300/studio version are fun. I kinda have a 'love/hate' relationship with the midra... | |
| New LP's and Warping I've had the same prob. with some of the Coltrane 180 gr re-issues on Impulse.. not sure why, what with the heavier vinyl and all. Yeah I just play 'em, my setup tracks 'em fine, but that record warp is NOT good for my speakers and I have to watch... | |
| Do I need a record cleaning machine New vinyl needs to be wet-vacuumed cleaned especially to remove any mold-release agents. Your record cleaning fluids should address that problem also. It does make a difference. also many times sealed records have some dust/dirt on them although a... | |
| Geffen Records lp's Jonnyb53: You are prob. right about the pressing.. I'd have to buy 10 diff. LP's like the "Hot Stamper" guy and then I'm prob. sure one of them would be absent of the 'noise' I have in mine.. It was just easier to buy the cd of that title, which s... | |
| Rega P5 Benz Micro Glider, Ace, or Stay w/Exact? The P-5 is worthy and I would go with the Glider or even higher... Yeah you gotta do better than the NAD with that set up. | |
| Surprising Backing Bands All the people that played on George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" even Phil Collins and Allan White(Yes)! | |
| Geffen Records lp's I was going to talk about the Pat Metheny recordings but I see someone beat me to it. The sound quality of "Still Life" is very good, but the pressing itself and vinyl suck. My Geffin label pressing suffers from noisy bad vinyl. too bad, as the Me... | |
| If you lost your stereo system would you still ??? I can still remember camping out in the woods in upstate NY by a beautiful waterfall with some high school buddies in the late 1970's and I brought my super cheapo General Electric portable cassette player, made around the year 1971, and we played... | |
| How much were vinyl records selling for? In the late 70's the big record store chains (National Record Mart, MusicLand, The Record Theater, etc) the LIST price was around $6.99 to $7.99. At K-Mart, Woolworths or Eckerds or similiar, maybe sometimes $4.99 or $5.99. Then there were "cutout... |
