| My All Time Christmas Song If anyone is still following... Old Toy Trains written by Roger Miller and covered by Nana Mouskouri (she has released over 200 albums in at least thirteen languages) is simply wonderful. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? The better my system gets, the better Redbook CDs sound... Having watch the development of the digital-sound market for 15+ years, I prefer the relative simplicity and SQ of CDs and LPs. Compared to streaming, CDs tend to have equal or better... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Great, and please share your list. I keep trying... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @ fthompson251 Welcome to the Club! I have tried to like Jazz for decades, as well, including a dozen deliberate weeks of "maybe this time", "maybe this group". During the journey, I have found a few very good performers, but mostly duds. List... | |
| two channel speaker/equipment consultant "You don't need a consultant just your own ears" Personally, I think that you need both. It will take time for your aural memory to lock-in good, excellent, and just-right! Listen to LOTS of various systems. Visit shop, shows and friends. ... | |
| Doozy of an amp question Without demos, buying is risky and resale value is always consideration. That said, few folks buy HiFi gear looking forward a 'flip'. Mac has a following, but it seems that Mac is a 'love it or not' brand, with little middle ground. I would def... | |
| My All Time Christmas Song Beyond the classics from Bing, Julie, Nat, etc., I pick "So this is Christmas". I love both the recording by John Lennon and the recording by Sarah McLachlan... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Good to read so many reasons... If I had never listened to jazz and you played me 3 LPs from each, I would have to pick Chet over Miles, by a large margin. Chet's phrasing and selections are so much more approachable than Miles', at least to me. | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 I may be in the market, so I looked-up these... Probably won't make the short-list because the add was in Chinese. | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! I got to see the Dead, twice, and remember one of them | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! @ ruebent, @ skiznfliz I used standard freezer ICEPACKS to cool my Ultrasonic Bath between batches. Moderating the US Bath's temperature is vital. I also used an aquarium filter, with small-pore batting, to filter particles throughout the proc... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! First, I know this process is/was excessive. I previously worked in an analytical chemistry lab, so I was accustomed to excessively clean processes/equipment. Background: I have cleaned ~4500 LPs using the following process: Tap rinse Spin... | |
| Have you heard the new Beatles in Mono, Capitol releases? @ fatdaddy2 You commented: "Not likely, since not being released until next month." The website states "Ships by: November 22, 2024" - one DAY from now.. Do you know something everyone else does not? | |
| Bose buys McIntosh @ ken6217 "So you think Bose bought Mcintosch and SF to basically run them into the ground? Sure, that makes a lot of sense." I best guess is that Bose bought McT and SF for the juice - They will substitute similar, lower quality parts (particul... | |
| Buying and Selling; shipping items and Escrow.com @viridian and @bassdude Thanks for the comments. I understand you, and many sellers, would prefer to put ALL of the Risk on the seller. How nice for you. But there a few problems... 1. All functional (and most cosmetic) issues can be hid... |
