| Real Stinkers Seems like a true blue audiophile response. If the CD sounds bad change the system. | |
| Real Stinkers "Picnic" by Robert Earl Keen. In addition to the embarassment of losing one's muse so publicly, the engineers lent the album an unbelievably screechy sound, perhaps to distract one from the banal lyrics. | |
| Next upgrade for vinyl rookie I think that you have a really nice rig going there. The table and cartridge is quite fine. If not a record cleaning machine, as described above, I would suggest a new phono preamp, perhaps a black cube or Monolithic. I base this suggestion on the... | |

| What Tube Amp Looks Coolest? Wavestream V-8. Frankland's statement product also sounds unbelievably good; just wish that I could afford a pair. | |
| The Crazy World of Arthur Brown I lived in LA for 18 years and made the rounds; I preferred Record Surplus. To each his own.Marty | |
| The Crazy World of Arthur Brown I havn't heard Arthur in quite a few years; this thread made me dig out the vinyl. Any Wild Man Fisher fans out there? "The leaves are falling". | |
