| Greatest debut album I was really taken by the first albums by these bands:ChicagoRyan AdamsElvis CostelloSantana | |
| White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition I have found that the physical quality of new vinyl, across the board, is hit and miss. About 1 in 7 pressings, even on on 180 grams, will begin to pop and crackle after just a few plays. I have a quality cartridge, but it makes no difference. Why... | |
| Underrated album: Sonics AND Music Mine is Crowded House "Together Alone." I don't think that Crowded House gets the respect they deserve. Neil Finn, the main guy in the band, just joined Fleetwood Mac, but I think they should be backing him up. | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? One more endorsement for the Parasound Halo. You can buy the pre-upgrade Hint model for probably $400 less than it retailed before the Hint 6 came out. That means, you can probably find it new for about $1900. It's like buying an iPhone 9 right af... | |
| Songs that have stood the test of time. I can't go without mentioning "The Times They Are A-Changin'" by Dylan. It is an ongoing anthem. Also, a few choice favorites:"A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke"Your Song" by Elton John"Walk Away Renee"by Left Banke"Whenever You're Ready' by th... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Hard to believe that Sinead O'Conner (or anyone) topped Prince, but she did on "Nothing Compares to You." He recorded that song as if he didn't think it was anything that special, but she poured her soul into it. How about the Who's version of "Yo... | |
| Bass and treble levels Great point about early U2 and some 80s music from Eric_squires. There are some albums from that era I would love to hear reconfigured for our modern ears, but I guess that can't happen without recutting the masters. | |
| Left/right balance on headphones Yes. That is where I got a message that output on the device is not supported. The little slider that appears for balance when I plug in the phones directly disappears and the message pops up. | |
| columbia vinyl dylan remasters I am happy with the Sundazed Dylan reissues. Are there better options out there? | |
| Best Buy is going to sell vinyl records I love some of the new-release product. Rhino is great. So are a few other labels. However, about 15% of my purchases are bad pressings--crackling distortion from day one. Third Man Records and the Pink Floyd reissues have recently let me down. Th... | |
| Best place to get vinyl records? Discogs.com is the best for used vinyl. Once you find a reliable seller, as I did, you will never look back. |
