Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging
I can't believe that nobody's mentioned Jacques Loussier yet. Try "Plays Bach" and "Baroque Favourites". These are jazz trio interpretations. 
How international is your system?

Neil Young Song "Let's Roll" where can I find It?
I actually like the rest of "Are You Passionate" and I'm a big Booker T. Jones Fan. The cool thing about Neil Young is that, like Frank Zappa, he never let anybody, including his record company, influence his art. His music is always changing and ... 
Neil Young Song "Let's Roll" where can I find It?
Lugnut, you obviously didn't read the link I posted. The following is a quote from it: "Barbara Olson called her husband, Ted Olson, the solicitor general of the United States. [using an airphone]". As far as conspiracy theories go, the most unbel... 
Neil Young Song "Let's Roll" where can I find It?
I find it sad that, Neil Young, a Canadian musician whom I admire very much, fell for the obviously bogus propaganda of the American political/media machine and believed the stories of 9/11. Cell phones don't work above 8000 feet in a metal aircra... 
How do you fix an ''out of print'' scratched CD ?
I have repaired hundreds of scratched CDs by polishing with toothpaste back and forth from center to edge. It looks like hell when you're done, but only about one in a hundred fail to give me a perfect read with EAC. 
Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have
77 Sportster, 74 Commando 850, 73 Commando 750, 57 Dominator 600, 66 Triumph Daytona 500, 67 BSA 441, (2) 70 Triumph TR25Ws, 68 BSA B25, 51 BSA C11 250. Half of them actually run! Good thing I have a decent stereo in my shop: Dual Mono PS2 160W bl... 
Home brew cleaning solution
I have read that Kodak photoflo shouldn't be used due to its other ingredients besides the surfactant that may contaminate the record. A photographer friend of mine gave me some Ilford surfactant and he said it was pure, but who knows? 
?'s about quality of audiophile recordings
I have Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers' "A Night in Tunisia" as a Mofi and also the same recordings on a 6 CD set from Mosaic: "The complete Blue Note recordings of Art Blakey's 1960 Jazz Messengers". The Mofi is far superior to the Mosaic rele... 
CD Player Recommendation - Music Hall MMF25
The Teac C-1D, at US$199, uses the same DAC as the Granite 657, a Burr Brown PCM1710U and is an excellent sounding player. In my system it was slightly dark, but changing the OPA2604 dual op amps to Browndog adaptors with OPA627AUs made the top en... 
Can someone explain how this could happen?
The explanation for the rap artists is easy: there isn't any music there regardless of what you play it on. The others are harder to explain. It could be summing the left and right channels resulting in the lead vocal doubling in volume while the ... 
Srangest ,most out there sounding music
Wildoats: With Trout Mask Replica, it helps if you have a background of delta blues and some avant garde jazz. It's an amazing blend of those two seemingly unblendable genres and is well worth the effort you put into understanding it. Start with t... 
How to pick the correct mat for Oracle Delphi
I thought acrylic mats were all the rage now. I have a Mk.2 Delphi as well and was wondering the same thing. It currently has its original mat. 
Badfinger
My garage band is trying to learn "Baby Blue", but their studio recording of it is sharper than B and flatter than C which makes it awfully hard to play with. Does anybody have a good transcription of the chords in it? Sometimes I think we should ... 
thoughts on frank zappa
ronvandiep3n: Please reread Bigjoe's post. You have misinterpreted at least two things that he wrote. Pay particular attention to the commas. In this case, the crux of the biscuit is the comma. I'd like to add that Mozart and Bach had the advantag...
