Hello,

My name is John Agugliaro. I'm a Service Technician at a TV/Stereo repair shop in New Jersey. We're looking for a test disc (could be audio with video, or just audio alone) for an SACD/DVD Audio/Video Player that will output 7.1 Dolby Surround. That would mean eight channels, each with its own signal and identifier: Front- L/R, D.Mix*- L/R, Surround- L/R, Center, and Sub-Woofer. This is a very difficult disc to find, indeed! If anyone knows of any sources, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

Sincerely,

Hi guys

After checking all the cartridges i own,i've realized there is no standart regarding color coding.Some manufacturers , when you look the cartridge from the back,stylous facing down,place the "hot" on the top row and others on the lower row.Can anyone please tell me if i connected my Koetsu urushi properly ? (white-top left , red-top right , blue - bottom left , green - bottom right ) I've read somewhere that Koetsus use the (blue/green - top left.right) system. is that true ?

Hi guys

I remember there was a record with the beatles's songs,sung by others.Two of the groups i remember is "Aerosmith" and "The bee gees". Can anyone tell me the name of that record?

Thank you !

Guys,one of the greatest records is coming on vinyl on June 30.I've allready pre-ordered mine. Eva Cassidy "Time After Time".

Here's my list of 20 you should have but may not have.

Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus
St. Thomas is my favorite Rollins tune

Miles Davis Kind Of Blue
Best selling jazz album in history

Chicago Chicago Transit Authority
Their first and still the best

Beatles Abbey Road
She came in through the bathroom window

John Coltrane My Favorite Things
Julie Andrews wouldn't recognize the tune

Freddie Hubbard Red Clay
The title song is worth it all

Return To Forever Light As A Feather
Listen to Spain

I lost a "still sealed" copy of Roger waters "Amused to death" on ebay,just beacause the guy who was selling it wouldn't send it outside of USA. grrrrrrrrrrr

A couple of days ago,i received a brand new Koetsu Urushi "sky blue".For those of you who wonder what is that,it's a very limited edition Urushi and as the name suggest,it is blue colored.Today,i found the time to install it and although now,as i write this,has less than 2 hours playing time,i can't help myself from smiling.My trusty VanDenHul "black beauty" went back in her box and believe me,it will stay there !

I don't know if this is true all over the country or just in Northern New Jersey but Costco is selling the Phil Spector 4-CD "Back to Mono" box for $14.69! All the hits, the complete Christmas album, and of course the sublime "River Deep, Mountain High."

Here's a novel idea: the main reason CD sales are down and the music industry is tanking has nothing to do with the illegal downloading or copying of CDs but rather with the fundamental law of capitalism, you know, that one about supply and demand.

In a nutshell, the prices of CDs are just too damn high!!! It's as simple as that and no amount of DRM is going to save their greedy little butts.
