| ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL SYNERGY I also collect and use vintage tube gear: amps, preamps, tuners and integrated! A technology from 1907! Thank Lee DeForest for this! Some SS enthusiasts would laugh at this! Yet there's something about the sound from nicely warmed up tube equipmen... | |
| ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL SYNERGY freediver: lighten up, man! Back in '79 when I learned of the Sony/Philips collaboration to develop and market an optical digital record and playback system, I said I would throw away my LP's if they could perfect it! No more TT, tonearm, cartridg... | |
| electric ladyland/exile on main st I have LP 1 from the UK Track release! Will have to give it a listen! Hope its better than the original Warner's. | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release I watched it on a black-n-white TV at my high school friend's house, along with his father. We thought that teeth trick was Jimi just being a show-off! | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Anybody here remember seeing Hendrix on the David Frost TV show? Talked with Frost and then got to play one song - with his teeth! July '69 - before Woodstock. | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release From Axis Bold As Love: "I've got my own life to live through - and I ain't gonna copy you!" - If Six Was Nine.

| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... +1 analogluvr! I had one of those FR MC201's a long time ago! Great then, still great today! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... The owner got most of the profits. Sales clerks were just peons. No profit sharing! 19th Century capitalism at its best! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Regardless of whatever you call it (percent or points) the dealer makes a profit in US dollars of approximately $1500+ on a $5K sale. I worked in a high-end audio store and I saw what the actual costs were for many products. No altruism there! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Jewel-encrusted buggy whips! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Don't forget that the dealer markup on that $5K cartridge is about 30% (30 points)! A nice piece of change for little work! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... My vintage Coral 777 is competitive with any $5K mc! And so is my Supex! | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Expensive (greater than $1K) MC's are the new crack for the wealthy enthusiasts! And the pushers are again the mags and the retailers/distributors/importers. A cartridge mafia! |
