| Manhattan vinyl shops My experience way back when (early 80's) was that the used record shops in "the city" (what other city matters?) had overpriced records that were over-worn. Case in point Bleeker Bob's in the Village, and the one on St. Marks Place | |
| Is my ZeroStat Gun Toast ? I have gone through 2 of these (back when they were discwasher) and still have one, and I think yes one went bad and no longer had any resistance to the pull of the lever and did not "hiss". You should be pulling the lever very slowly, with as few... | |
| where do you bye your LPs Used to buy almost all my records at used record stores, Princeton record exchange in NJ (when I used to live there) The Record Archive in Rochester NY. Where I live now is not too convenient to any stores and I buy almost all records online. Used... | |
| BEST LINE CONDITIONER UNDER $600 The Adcom unit was the first conditioner I had ever bought, back in 1990 or 1991. It worked well to my ears, with an audible improvement. I do not recall any dynamic restrictions. I have since gone through several Tice models, the latest and great... | |
| How long do Cassette Decks last I'm going to say roughly 15 years.... depending on the type of drive you've got. If you've done the gear drive upgrade on your NAK or if you have the "Cassette Deck model 1" that comes with gear drive, you're probably all right. Otherwise the driv... | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. Well, I donno, on the MFSL LP version (the only version I've known) frequency extremes are fairly normal if subdued, to me very natural sounding, compared to the over produced slicked up Gaucho. I'll check out the link above. | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. FatParrot, are you kidding??Katy Lied is superb! what do you mean? P.S. my parrot is thin... can't get him to eat right, always prefers junk food Lindisfarne: How true about most of Todd's work! I always liked "Initiation" but no bass! "RA" and al... | |
| Better off not being seen Yes "Keys to Ascention" concert recorded somewhere in CA around mid 90's... the DVD sound quality is very good, I think, but the video "interpretation" is a very weak "artistic" effort reminnescent of a freshman's film school project. Really bad, ... | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. Ditto on Yes "Fragile", also Yes "Close to the Edge", and "Relayer".Tvad is right about Zep's "Physical".Soft machine's recordings.. very poor until you get to "5"King Crimson's 1st.Rush's "Farewell" was rather poor, but I remember "Hemispheres" a... | |
| What paint to use on power outlets Kevine: I like your response... 23 years is a real achievement these days. Santana from "Borboletta": "Life's a game of give and take..." | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Going back to the first response: I am also an Analog man at heart. I have two systems for 2-channel playback, one upstairs (digital - Rega Jupiter 2000) and one downstairs (Analog- Rega P-9/Benz Ref silver/benz phono unit). Now while I'll always ... | |
| Finally Lurked for 2 years, then bought......Rega Glad you made the Rega move! great tables and the cart. is designed to match. I remember when I switched from a denon direct drive to a Rega 3 back in 1987... WOW! tweaked and tweaked the P-3 over the years and have now been a happy owner of the P... | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? "I got a rock" | |
| Bogen CHA 75 amp. I admit I've only SEEN the bogen amps and typical installations of them, not usually used as a beefy pa amp for real sound reinforcement, can't say I've ever critically listened to them driving hi-fi speakers... Heck, try it out and see if it work... | |
