| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Prpixel: Quite a group of friends there ;^)Herman:For me the simple test is what would you consider fair if you were on the other side of the fence? I find it hard to believe you could support your position if you made your living from your music.... | |
| EL-34: JJ Tesla or Electro-Harmonix? JJ/Tesla (EL34 and E34L) vs. Sovtek vs. SED, I preferred the latter in a CJ amp. | |

| My dog ate my homework, um, I mean speakerwire.... Cats go for the wire to the tweeter. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need There is absolutely no difference whether you keep the original and distribute the copy or keep the copy and distribute the originalWell, there is a difference with music CDs, especially for collectors and audiophiles. If you keep only the copy an... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Dopogue: That thought had occurred to me as well, and I think it's a perfectly legit observation. But I'm probably more immature than you ;^)Macrojack: If I say I didn't think we were "bickering", will it sound like bickering? | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Cool. Of course, even with a linear arm there'd still be the difference of air-bearings vs. conventional bearings. And at this level, I'd frankly expect resonant signature to trump drive type overall (you'd think that would be a strong point for a... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need You keep saying "they got the money for the CD I bought," and think that justifies your actionsNever said that.neither the record company nor the artist got the money from the sale they didn't make--the sale that they should have made but for the ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Raul: Sorry, but the only thing one can "judge" from that list is that you spent much time and effort collating those numbers. You can list claimed specs til the cows come home however, but for many reasons it still doesn't amount to an argument (... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need FWIW, the copyright law article that appeared in the Sept. '05 Stereophile says this about fair use under the Audio Home Recording Act of '92:"Title 17's 'First Sale' provision is intended to limit the copyright holder's control over the dispositi... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used I can't speak to the sonic differences between a modded Link and the Gold Link. But FWIW, a "hard" treble was not among the faults I found with the Gold -- quite the opposite in fact. Then again, reading your other thread, you and I hold pretty mu... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need The statement I agree with most since my last post was made by Meisterkleef:"If there were no such thing as file sharing, I doubt this issue would even be on the radar screen."I'm kinda surprised by the number of people who are so sincerely concer... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Anybody seen the new Grand Prix Audio Monaco DD described in April's "Analog Corner" CES report? Quothe Fremer: "Ultra-compact...magnesium platter...bronze flywheel...CPU-controlled...5,000-point optical reader...platter which is also the rotor (s... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Raul: "BM" for "brain-masturbation"? (Well, I guess those who've got... BTW, "BM" is already taken my man, or didn't you know? Or maybe you meant it that way? Classy!)Look, it's regrettable you can't handle being disagreed with in good grace, but ... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used OK, I guess :-) You and I actually have similar systems in many ways, and I suppose if you posted this thread after the other one, then you may have come to the same conclusion about the Link as I was suggesting. My "just observing the passing cir... |
