| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need So you really don't think a household can make multiple copies?I didn't say that. I simply asked you to reference a law that specifically allowed it just as you challenged me previously.I don't want to screw the artist, but I certainly don't want ... | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? No argument here, every 45 set I've bought has easily surpassed the 33 version. However, as much as I want it that is a lot of money. I guess I can sell my 33 sets to offset the cost. | |
| Led Zeppelin Classic Records 45 series -Am I nuts? Thanks for the heads up. I have the 33 versions. Have you actually compared them to the 45s? While I agree that 45s have the potential to sound better that is a lot of money to buy on faith. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need OK, you challenged me earlier to cite specific laws to support my position. Now you state:A family unit can purchase an album and legally make multiple copies for their own use under the fair use copyright exception. Please supply specific laws th... | |
| Absolute newbie question ?? How close to a CD quility can you get on these things anyway?A mid level phono system properly setup will smoke a high end CD player. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Zaikesman, the issue is not whether the industry is going to come after you or what their larger concerns are. I agree that their real fear is mass distribution of free copies via the internet, but that doesnt make a single free copy legal.Onhwy6... | |
| Absolute newbie question ?? I think the Rotel is fine. Make sure it is plugged into a line level input (CD, AUX, Tape) on your preamp or integrated, don't use the phono stage into the phono input on the preamp if it has one. The Rotel switch should be on MM. I'm assuming you... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Highway 61, you wore me out yesterday with your dust storm of what-if scenarios but I will try one more time to convince you that buying a CD, making and retaining a copy for your personal use, and then selling the original is illegal. Forget abou... | |
| How much output needed from MC cart. It's not that simple. More information is needed.You have to look at the complete system. Gain is only part of the equation since you have to figure in the efficiency of your speakers.Add total gain from the electronics (phono stage + line stage +... | |
| Tired of boring, polite, laid-back sound..... Perhaps you have boring, polite, laid back speakers or other components. Why are you focused on the integrated? What is the rest of your system? | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/8nerve/8nerve.htmlTake a look at this review. It is very verbose but if you take the time it pretty well describes the function of the Eighth Nerve products. They really do work. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need There is term for the type of argument you are using but it escapes me. You are focusing on minutia (what happens if I lose the CD?) in an attempt to refute the general concept.The applicable laws are laws pertaining to copyrights. Can I cite a sp... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need You are right. There is a difference in that you don't have the packaging, but I don't think that has anything to do whether it is legal or not. I also don't see the loss in fidelity. If you make a bit for bit copy how could you lose fidelity? On ... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need As the owner of an album I have the legal right to make copies of that album for my own use. The artist and others are not compensated for each additional copy I make.Yes you do have that right but you have misinterpreted what I said. I never said... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Highway 61, Your analogy doesn't hold up. You can't sell a car AND continue to drive it. You can sell a cd AND continue to listen to it via a copy. You better believe if you bought a Ford and then started to sell copies of it that they would squas... |
