Manfred Mann's Earth Band "Blinded by the Light". I'm pretty sure Springteen wrote the tune too. Go figure 
How to reduce the friction in the bearing
If your 'table has been sitting around that long then you may want to spend the $150 and buy Oracle's maintenance kit they sell. You can order this from your Oracle retailer or from Oracle's website. Included in the kit is a medical syringle pre-l... 
How to reduce the friction in the bearing
Hi there,First off, a Mark II brand new? Seems odd since Oracle has been shipping Mark V's for some time now. In any event..maybe this is an obvious question, but have you used the syringe to load oil into the well before you inserted the platter?... 
What tattoo to get next?
Elizabeth had a good idea; I've been looking hard for some sheet music to download on the 'net, seems you have to buy the stuff and wait for delivery. I'm thinking of getting the sax intro to "Your Latest Trick" by Dire Straits. Can anyone point m... 
What tattoo to get next?
We're all interested in music and the gear that makes it come to life, asking your opinion as to what musical/audiophile tat to consider seems appropriate to me. I also have a kinship with a lot of folks on the 'Gon, asking friends isn't a bad ide... 
What tattoo to get next?
Hey guys,This is turning into a fun thread. I already have a tattoo on my right shoulder, it's a very tasteful (and simple) flag fluttering in the wind. Shoulders and backs are great places to get some artwork done; tats are something you do for y...

Makes you wonder why the ad is still alive if the item is sold, why not just delete the ad altogether? "Sale Pending" is my pet peeve. If someone commits and tells me that payment is forthcoming I list it as sold... if the sale falls through I spe... 
What audio equipment should I take to Kirkuk, Iraq
iPod playing WAV files or a decent portable CDP (Panasonic make pretty good players), Grado Headphone amp (runs off two batteries) and your trusty 600's. Good luck overseas, Jeff 
And then there was music...
My brother wants to convert his NAD3020, Thorens TT, and B&W 302's to a HT set up. I'm beside myself to say the least 
Any advice on car audio?
"less than the legal limit"? Huge typo!!!!! I'd have a LOT better system if I obeyed the laws and didn't have to shell out long green to cover off speeding tickets. SD is dead-on (pun intended), treat the car then load it up. Best, JL 
Any advice on car audio?
Loaded question since so much of car audio is ridiculously over-marketed lies (1000W amplifiers?). Man what a mess the car audio market is. Okay, here are my thoughts on the car audio thing, ignore at will. Unlike a home audio system you cannot mo... 
Where Can I Buy Boxes to Ship LP's In?
$1.68 per mailer... and some folks ask why LP's are so expensive on the 'net when you can buy'em cheap locally? The mailer plus your time and it doesn't make sense to sell'em for less than $5 a copy. There ya have it folks!
