| Bob Dylan Hi Max - I'm a big Los Lobos fan so was happy to see David Hidalgo in the credits. I think that accordion sound throughout has a lot to do with what "makes" TTL what it is. Went to BB today in search of Tell Tale Signs...not in stock, unfortunatel... | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? My #2 choice if I can't get Svedka is Luksusowa (Polish Potato Vodka). | |
| Bob Dylan Max Pain - Thanks for the post. I'd avoided that release because I thought it was just recycled stuff. Bob doesn't really need more of my $. Hadn't read up on it on-line, however, only saw it in the store. Lately, been listening a ton to "Together... | |

| Clipping Great...I should have added, listen with your ear quite close to the tweeter(s) to hear the distortion. When I had a problem the sustained instrumental notes and choir voices in the intro would break up at moderate volumes. But I really needed to ... | |
| Clipping If you have it, Peter Gabriel's "So" contains a great test track that I've used to identify a clipping-damaged tweeter (been there, done that, more than once). Check out Track 8, "We Do What We're Told". No need to listen to all of it...the openin... | |
| How effective is the Onzow Zerodust? I've been using the Magic Eraser since reading Dougdeacon's post. As so many others have said, it works very well. I follow the ME with brushing using a dry stylus cleaning brush (Disc Washer, I think). One modification that may help prevent snagg... | |

| CD Cases Ps68...haven't found significant wear due to cardboard or paper sleeves but I am interested in learning where you order your "super jewel cases". I've broken a fair number of cases over the years. Would like a replacement for these (as opposed to ... | |
| Amplifier Hum - A Problem Solved Glad for the happy ending. I can well imagine your relief at discovering the cause! | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? "they were good....but they were not THAT good."I disagree...IMO...THEY CHANGED THE MUSIC WORLD.If you don't agree, I'm OK (though disappointed with your point of veiw). They came at a time and with talent that hasn't been duplicated since. There ... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Macdattexas- what's the link to this dubious "greatest list"? I already think I agree with your argument...smells like an injustice has been served. Would like to see who their top 10 are, however. Steve Howe is genius. Same for Eddie VH. | |
| Stylus wear question... Thanks to all... I can rest easier now and some of those responses (Viridian!) made me laugh. Rshak - I will check into "The Lift" Gosh, "Audiogon" what a great country!!! | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- "You buy an album and clean, then play, the sides in numerical order."Audiofeil - seriously, you mean there's another way?!Gosh, I got some good laughs from these. | |
| Which Totem Speakers My room size and speaker distances are very similar to what you describe (though I sit closer than 9 feet away). I'm enjoying Forests in what another audiophile describes as "near field" listening. |
