| my Talon Khorus sounds bad Believe it or not they might not be broken-in yet. It can take a hell of a time to break them in. Some people just getting tired and sell them for nothing comparing to the new retail price. The break-in time should be minimum 400hrs(months of cont... | |

| help me with cheap tape deck. ...havn't enough space for reel to reel. That's why I've sold my Otari before. I still have a bunch of reels that I have to probably auction or sell them as a whole. | |
| Question for users of bare wire ends speaker cable Yes Sugar, indeed they can and that's what I'm using. I soldered them with RadioShack silver solder and threaded them through the binding posts. Still you will have to clean it often but with much better convenience. | |

| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Albert: Check out jount album Pat Metheny and Ornette Coleman to listen some "smoothe jazz".I believe and probably you too that Pat isn't from that pop kitchen described on that tread. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? I'm on the contemporary jazz side too but not smooth -- sounds tooo sentimental and naive and share the thought with Bobalool. Miles Davis is one of my favorite jazz musicians came through several generations of jazz and his last albums don't soun... | |
| best budget hi-fi speakers for my specific system I doubt that you will be able to find Vandys 2c for the desirable price used. Becides, these speakers need heluva amp to drive them. You can get Vandersteen 1c used for that price(quite reasonable)I used to own 1c and they're perfect for budget hi... | |
