| Mono Recommendations noromance, I noticed the Carmen McRae 'Bittersweet which I'm not familiar with. I have the mono Alfie which apparently is sought out in Paris. A record store around the 11h Arrondissement wanted around sixty euros for a mono Alfie. I paid about se... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, I was disappointed with the Beatles mono remasters but I had a different cartridge then so maybe I should try Rubber Soul again. I have the MOFI Dylan on cd, it's exceptional. Do you know if there's a good mono pressing of 'Odyssey and Orac... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity Someone who likely has never been mentioned on Audiogon before, the late Jump Blues pianist/singer; H Bomb Ferguson. Unfortunately, his records can;t live up to his live performances. | |
| Speakers with a slightly warm midrange Quad 57's. | |

| MM vs MC Cartridges I’m dealing with the situation but I’m helping a friend with his vinyl rig and I believe a low output cartridge would be too much of a challenge for his Rega phono amp. So, how about medium output cartridges? I know they’re out there. Can people ... | |

| Mercury Living Presence Mercury and Everest are similar in the way they both recorded with 35mm tape. Mercury and Everest also share the distinction of audiophile recordings pressed on cheap vinyl. My advice would be to purchase remastered cd’s or remastered and represse... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? ‘Patachou’s Paris’ in glorious mono. | |
| Lieder anyone? Jim, people are disappointed but still glad the Bengals made it as far as they did. The Bengals just need to find a way to win a Super Bowl to refute this notion that they’re cursed. The ref made a questionable call but that’s in the past. I plan ... | |
| Lieder anyone? rvpiano, there are about ten record stores within the Cincinnati ring. Maybe half of those carry used classical. One of them, Plaid Room, carries new remastered reissues along with used. The new vinyl is generally from Analogue Productions, Speake... | |
