I recently picked up a sealed LP titled, "Nat King Cole At The Sands"; Capital MAS 2434. I got it for less than $20. Though it is recorded in mono it was pressed in 1964 and recorded in 1960. It is actually a "command performance" recorded January 14, 1960 for selected guests from 2:30 - 5:00 am on that date. This LP is of great quality. The kind of quality you see with selected 180g releases being put out by specialty sources. I just love this LP. This is a wonderful album that comes highly recommended.

has anyone checked out celebrity fit club recently? my friend from umg and i were watching it the other day...i had no idea that tiffany was on it. It brought back so many memories...one of my ex-boyfriends from grade school def put "i think we're alone now" on a mixtape for me...hahahah. Anyway, i searched for her and found her on myspace (myspace.com/tiffanymusic) and she just came out with a new album on june 5th called "just me."

It's been two months since I have traveled down the path to hi-fi with the Arcam Solo and Paradigm 100's and I haven't looked back. Here are some things I noticed since upgrading my system:

1. The speakers did need a breaking in period of about 35 hours. The result more warmth and richness.

2. I can now hear the difference of CD's that were recorded with a great engineer to ones that were/are not so great. When you have a CD when both the performance and the soundd quality are excellent its def nervanna !
