Subwoofer Power Cord Suggestions
For a subwoofer I would suggest spending alot less than six hundred dollars. It is only going to be for something that replicates probably 60hz and below. Bass is omni directional. If it was me I would maybe use power chords that you replaced when... 
Import CD Question
I have to agree with R burke on this one. The hybrid SACD of the Stones probably would fit your pocketbook price wise and you can find selected titles on Ebay and the gon. As far as The Fab Four if there not already out then they are coming soon t... 
Beating the RVG Horse
Another thing, many of these early recordings 1956-59 were Hi Fi NOT stereo. Instead of adjusting or contouring your system see if it isn't recorded in stereo and just switch your system to MONO. I just did this with Lush Life by Coltrane and the ... 
Q sound and looking for the name of an 80s remake
Rick Wright's solo album "Broken China" is recorded in Q sound. It sounds really good and the CD is some really good spacy music. 
Going to see Roger Waters in concert
Nrchy that's not true. I too don't think that Roger Waters is Pink Floyd. Anyone who doubts this should pick up Rick Wrights Broken China and have a listen. In fact they have been playing songs that he wrote on the radio out here in L.A. from the ... 
Todays vinyl packaging observations
Dave,The Quality in packaging is probably because at the price they are charging for 180 and 200 gram pressings they can afford to get a little upscale. Also remember most people buy the CD equal so they have too get people to buy Vinyl. I have al... 
Beating the RVG Horse
Anyway we slice it when alot of this stuff gets re mastered it sounds different. I mean there is at least 4 different remasters of some of these CD's. I have some recordings of original Eric Dolphy on Vinyl and compared to the Out There and Outwar... 
Beating the RVG Horse
Is anyone taking into account that most of the RVG remasters are reproducing ACOUSTIC BASS not electric? Most of the one's on my system sound fine and as far as fiddling with the knobs what you are doing is replicating the old loudness switch that... 
Jethro Tull
Nrcy,The liner notes on these 24 bit remasters tells you the stories as you describe. Ian Anderson wrote them and are informative and interesting. As I stated in my initial post Jethro Tull was Ian Andersons vehichle from the start and Cornick was... 
Jethro Tull
Maybe someone knows the name of the keyboard player with Tull who is now female having gone through a sex change operation. It must have been hell when he was going through his hormonal injections when they were on the road. I know he was with the... 
Jethro Tull
I picked up Catfish Rising last weekend on 24 bit remaster and it has replaced Stormwatch on my favorite list. It also has as a bonus cut a killer live version of Jumpstart where Ian Anderson pokes fun at the grammies. The song Jumpstart is from C... 
Bought my first new audiophile LP...back it goes
The thought of having to pay to ship something back PLUS what you paid for the disc is what pisses me off. At the prices that you are paying for these records you have every right to be upset. You have to realize that the records are just the tip ... 
Best Recording of Traffic: Low Spark
I would do a favorite searches for this on Ebay and just wait. I'm sure an original import will turn up sealed in a few months and then bid. It probably will go for about the same price of a sealed MFSL copy. Be patient,this album sold millions,th... 
New Classic Records Coloured Vinyl
Yeah coloured vinyl just plain sucks regarding surface noise but try playing picture disc's if you want Excedrin headache number 9. I'm suprised Classic did not do there homework on coloured vinyl but I'm also passing on The Who live at Leeds and ... 
Live Hendrix.....
I have a Band of Gypsies that is a Audio Technica pressing from Japan that I bought in Santa Rosa. I bought it because the cover is a doll of Hendrix holding his guitar and it blows away ANYTHING I have of his in my collection. I mean when someone...
