Either they are brothers, or Fremer is secretly running France and is marrying Carla Bruni!

Does anyone know any good non high pressure dealers in the Los Angeles/Ventura County area? I have been looking forever and only seem to turn up the ones that have the snotty guy in the corner who looks down his nose every time you ask about a component he doesn't carry.

Hi!

I found this tt table that someone had thrown away.
Is it worth the time to see if its working.
I don't own lp's today but i have a farliy good stero setup and wondering if this could be a way to start...

My father have a Lin 12, so I gues this Sanyo will be a disapointment, but any way, give me your heads up.

Thx Johannes

Embarassingly, I cannot find the URL of the article that explains how to interprit the measurements that JA makes of amps, preamps, cd players, etc. I have found the understanding speaker measurements pages, but not for amps.

Thanks for any help.

Is there a list of Reference CDs, especially in Blues, Jazz and Classic Rock somewhere around?

I'm looking for excellent sound recordings that will play on a standard CD player, or, do I have to move up to a SACD, or something similiar, to get excellent sound recording?

I've googled a lot and haven't come up with the correct combination of words, yet.

Mobile Sound doesn't have a large in-stock catalog.

As a newbie, I am somewhat confused by various audio terms commonly used to describe musical reproduction (e.g. soundstage, musicality, liquid, etc.). Also, I am not certain that everyone attaches the same connotation to these terms. Is there a somewhat definitive source explaining this terminology? Thank you.

Jeff W recently commented that the headphone experience paled in comparison to listening to speakers, at least for one particular recording.

While I enjoy headphones, and have a pretty good headphone setup, I find that the speaker listening experience is always better in every way except for perception of minute detail.

It is particularly striking when I use headphones to master my own recordings. I can hear changes in EQ, compression, etc. with headphones - but speakers always reveal more. In every respect.

Is this also your experience?

The death of my Yamaha CD player is the catalyst to move into the 21st century, reduce the box count in the media cabinet and more importantly make space for coffee cups on the coffee table by reducing the remote control count from 7 to 1.

First, my sincere thanks to many contributers who have already saved me much money and months of trial and effort. After 3 days of almost solid reading the head is spinning with your collective wisdom. So, the current thinking is:

Why does a video DVD recorder with a hard drive only cost a couple hundred bucks while the same hardware for audio such as Cambridge or Olive cost $1000? Can I use a DVD recorder as an audio server?
