Here's a strange question: does anyone else have the habit of falling asleep during listening sessions? I'm not talking about "listening fatigue" here but more like being in such a relaxed state and being so into the music that you fall into a sort of trance and then asleep. I do this all the time and it doesn't seem to matter what genre of music is playing. The other day I fell asleep half way through Cecil Taylor's "Conquistador" CD! If you can sleep through that....It's not that I was bored with the music but just so into it that all other thoughts melted away.

Roy E's mention of Charlie Haden's releases on the old A&M Horizon record label made me think about the Artists House Records label, which founded by the same individual who was behind the A&M Horizon record label, one John Snyder.

After hearing from Jeff how loud DUP plays his system I had a thought. I dug out my trusty Rat Shack meter and took some readings at random times yesterday while I was playing music. I found that most of the levels were in the high 80's(87 or so)db wise. There were a very few selections that I did play louder with peaks around 95-96 db. How loud do the rest of you listen? I used C weighting with slow response.

in Fremer's column this month, he stated that the Mk.II speedbox could be used with both pro-ject and MH turntables. can anyone confirm this before i buy one? a few websites i went to said it only works with pro-ject TTs and i want to make sure it will work with MH. thanks, kirk

I need to get a new turntable. I'd like to stay a good bit under $1000

Anybody able to compare these? Thoughts?

Pro-Ject X-pression 2
Music Hall MMF-5
Thorens TD190
Rega P3
Goldring GR-1.2

thanks

I notice most specification for Input Sensitivity/Impedence is usually LINE 220mV/47kohms. I have also seen 220mV/22kohms. What is the difference? Which is better or not?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me of any magazine reviews they know of which had the EAD Theatervision P cd/dvd player in them, I was told this was an award winner some while back, but have no idea which magazine ?

Blah, blah blah, and another thing, you are just a big @#$%%#@%@#%#. Your speakers S***, you don't know nutin'...Blah blah, blah, what do you know, of course the screw holding the outlet cover plate affects the sound, what are your DEAF? Anybody with ears can hear the difference between a white cover screw and a ivory colored one. You must not have a very revealing system, you must have your speaker wires on a carpet, or you don't have an open mind.
