| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? Cover of Neil Young's Powderfinger from the Caution Horses.Pretty much that whole album, though many folks like the Trinity Sessions better. | |
| If I bought Parasound JC 5 +, what preamp to go with it? To refine the question, and take it in a little different direction:I guess the JC 2 does NOT have an onboard DAC. You'd either plug the CD player in direct or run it to an outboard DAC through a line stage, I suppose. . . So what would be the ... | |

| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree if the list is meant to be decent makers of vintage production equipment, you could do worse. Say, a Technics SL1200 or B & O linear tracking table?Nakamichi DragonI notice the list has no speakers.How about some Bose, Cerwin Vegas or JBLs. . ... | |

| How loud are you typically listening? Pretty rare for me to really blast it.I have two sets of speakers. Klipsch Heresy IIs and Paradigm Studio 70s, A/B to same integrated amp.I would guess usually less than 80 dB 98% of the time.If we are moving around the first floor doing stuff ou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? REM/ Out of TimeHad not listened to this one in a long while.On reflection, I know the band liked it, as it made them lots of money. But I actually liked at least three of their earlier albums better. | |
| SoundSmith cartridges how good? Would one play a moving iron cartridge through the MM or MC setting on a phono preamp? A few years ago, VPI was really touting the Soundsmith as a good match for their tables, with I believe, the JMW 10 tonearm. | |
| The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear Scott 22's main point rings true, you are better off with synergy between components or players.But I could not resist this, even though as a kid I kind of liked Wilt, in his later career L.A. Lakers days.Bill Russell also was on two USF NCAA cham... | |

Beatles, rooftop impromptu concert during Let it Be sessions.Fleetwood Mac, anytime between '75 Fleetwood Mac album release and Tus... | |
| Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby? I kinda have my doubts, as they think music mainly comes from phones and someone named Alexa.My youngest showed a little interest, so over the course of some birthdays, Christmas, and just cleaning out my extra stuff, I've given her a pair of Par... | |
| Blue Jean/Belden LC 1 I'd agree on the value for the price. The LC 1s were $35 + shipping. I'm keeping them around. But for now, the Cardas are back in rotation between the phono preamp and the amp line stage. I may plug the LC1s in at work and let them burn in or g... |
