Is there any difference between a regular CD-R data disc and a CD-R Audio disc? I have heard two conflicting stories.

One says the CD-R Audio discs conform to the Redbook standard and are more likely to be compatible with any CD player. The other says there is no difference technically, and the only difference is that the CD-R Audio costs more because a portion of the price goes to a fund for performers and songwriters.

Can anybody provide a definitive answer to the question?

Thanks.

Hey,

Does Stephen have a turntable?

I saw someone post about this at another site:

Well Tempered table, arm, and unknown cartridge.

For those moneys, it seems a local pick up would make for the start of a lovely relationship.

Anybody recognize the cartridge?

Hi ,
I have a pair of Energy RC-10. Around 3 days back the speakers were not sounding as they usually are crisp and clean, when I investigated further to my suprise I found the damping material which is stuck inside the cabniet was set loose and I could see it through the rear ports and is parially blocking the tweeter in both the speakers.
The speakers are not sounding great as they weere . Please advice

I'm running my monitor audio RS6s on an old PS 200c power amp - output 200 watts per channel. Speakers are rated at 40-120 RMS. I'm in a New York apartment, so volume levels are kept low, no more than 1/3 the dial. Is this going to hurt the speakers? I've read opinions going both ways. Thanks.

RealTraps Announces New Diffusor

Has Stereophile reviewed these monoblocks? I'm curious about how they compare against Levinson stuff.
