John Coltrane A Love Supreme Acoustic Sounds 33 1/3 vs Analogue Productions 45
I have already bought and have it (just haven't opened it up yet).  Also bought Ballads and listened to it.  A friend has a new copy of A Love Supreme (AP 45) for $50. I paid $26.99 for both Ballads and A Love Supreme on Amazon.  
Adding An Impulse Noise Reduction Device
That's interesting - I never thought of that. So what is being suggested is a better preamp phono stage could reduce pops and clicks?I have placed the two units in line prior to getting the dbx unit. The SAE does remove large pops and the Burwen d... 
Teac AN-80 Noise Reduction System
For all that responded, thank you.  And fyi, I have a VPI HW-16 RCM for cleaning my lp's and Zerostat for static management.  
The Resurgence of Dexter Gordon
Thanks glennewdick. I'm familiar with and have bought from discogs.  And I already checked the versions available for this.  Discogs doesn't tell me what I'm asking here, though.  
ADS L1290 Speakers
Loomisjohnson, I always thought these were efficient speakers.  However, they sound much better with the Sansui B-2102 than my Yamaha DSP A1.  Of course it could be more of better components in the Sansui.  
ADS L1290 Speakers
Johnnyb53, I have read that the ADS's like lots of power.  Your VSP Labs is similar in power rating to my Sansui.  When I was running them with my Yamaha (110 wpc), they were nice, but really came alive with the Sansui.  I've heard the Sansui has ... 
ADS L1290 Speakers
I started this with purchasing a pair of KLH Kendall speakers. After trying these out at home, I decided that they were not the significant improvement I was looking for (they are going back to the store I purchased them at) over my Wharfedales. ... 
ADS L1290 Speakers
And I am really loving this upgrade! 
Turntable Hum
Just the stylus. 
Turntable Hum
A few additional points.  There have been no changes to my set up in over a year. A month ago I had a professional audio sales and take repair shop check out my turntable on record store day. Everything checked out fine. The cart is a 2M red with ... 
KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs
That could be arranged. Not a bad idea. 
KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs
I have already been to John's store and have already listened to the Vandersteen's.  I'm sure in the long run they are going to be the better speaker. The only advantage to the KLH speakers is the 60-day try it or return it guarantee. 
Evaluating Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones
So if Google play music has its sonic limitations, then should an almost 20 year old 5th generation iPod classic sound better?  
Verdi's Macbeth opera conducted by Riccardo Muti
I finally got a chance to listen to book recordings and there's very little difference in sonic quality (perhaps the enhanced groove spacing makes up for the DMM).  There is however, supplemental music on the 1976 version that is absent from the 1... 
My music sounds brighter
Not that this solves my mystery but it does improve my listening experience.  As much as I hate employing this, I simply turn down the treble control a few decibels until I'm happy with the sound. It's much better now.There is a digital high-shelv...
