| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy Do Wah Diddy Diddy Manfred Mann You Really Got me and All Day and All of the Night by the Kinks. With the Beatles, DC5 and Stones switched to LPs | |
| What's your picks I had a pair of Magnepan 1.7i in a room that size an the sound was exceptional. You should be able to find a used pair in that range. Hopefully you have the space to properly set them up. I have since moved up to the 3.7i in the same room. | |
| Chicago 1967 - 2023 I caught them back in 69 - 70 at the Hampton Beach Casino NH.i loved the first 3 LPs, still play them today but then I thought they got to easy listening. | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Soundsmith makes great sounding MI cartridges, I'm currently using the Carmen 2 nice all around sound and very ready rebuild prices. | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Savoy Brown Hellbound Train great solid album from an often overlooked group. | |
| Ten Years After “Space in Time” 50th Anniversary Re-Mix Always a favorite. Is there any big difference to the 2014 version in the original album series which sound good to me. | |

| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? That’s easy for me it's any one of the worlds best rock bands recently remastered CDs I'm listening to the Beatles of course, Pepper, White, Revolver or Abbey Road . | |
| Jim Gordon has Passed On... Great talent played with some of the best in the 60's and 70's unfortunately his dark side outweighs his amazing drum skills. | |
| Hudson HI FI UV stylus cleaner Never tried this but I use their gel stylus cleaner and other products which are excellent. | |
| Eva Cassidy "remastered" They have done the same with Elvis, Beach Boys and Roy Orbison. Some folks enjoy it others don't but it probably introduces the artist to a new audience. | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's Another thought are your Maggie's fully broken in, I know mine sounded harsh on the highs until I had about it 300 hours on them. | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's I had 1.7i in a 12 x 15 room powered by a Parasound Hint and the sound was magic. Have you tried using the resistors to tame the top end or moving up a bit in resistor value. | |
| My opinion; Same thing my parents said about the Stones and Zeppelin. Each generation has its own. | |
| New Pass amp X250.8 Pass did say something like a good amplifier has a transformer that will keep the power stable, clean and consistent so with his equipment I doubt your going to hear a difference changing out the original. |
