Caribbean Music
Caribbean Jazz Project has four cds out and they are pretty good (the two earlier ones are the best). Also look into Andy Narell. He has several cds out and they are also very good, especially "The Hammer" and "Little Secrets". 
Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive?
Sugarbrie,Thanks for the website lead. The Yamaha TX2000 wasn't listed there but from what I have gathered from other sources it was one above the TX1000 or top of the line in 1989 and retailed for $750.00. It has a silver front with wood sides an...

How does the Yamaha TX 2000 compare to the T2??? 
Popularity of jazz on World Wide Web
Sdcampbell,Great thread!When I want to listen to jazz outside of my collection, the internet is the only thing available to me and most of my friends since radio stations are not playing it. Yes, jazz appears to be more popular in Canada, Europe a... 
Non Audiophiles are funny people
Come on all you maggy owners, you have to have good NA stories. I have a pair and anyone seeing them for the first time comments on the nice "room-dividers" I have. Then they ask what's up with those wires or why do you have them placed where they... 
Is it my imagination?
I think this is how Enron and Global Crossing started their upward climb and cliff downfall.This tread really does open ones eyes and if still centers on buyer beware no matter what you do. 
PayPal versus C2it
Aroc,How are you protected??? I have purchased items using the MO path through the USPS (signed reciept and insured). This is a "cross-your-fingers" type of move, in that, if the seller decides to keep the funds you can file mail fraud charges. So... 
Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please
Try Dexter Wansel. There is a dual cd out that has first four albums on it and it would be representative of this era. Go to one of the www.cd websites to audition the sound clips to make sure though. 
Has anyone tried Nakamichi Soundspace 3?
I would do the 88 for $150 and added a JVC portable unit for $80. It will work out just fine. The JVC was selected because the lid opens to almost 90* and it has a cd release button. 
Anybody Heard Belles350a replacing a rogue 88
I also had a 350aBelles amp and it experienced a mechanical hum from the power supply. I sent it back and was told there was nothing wrong, received it back and it humed again. I never had a problem with other amps so I figured it was a design iss... 
Vandersteen 2ce upgrade?
I added one 2w and it was the perfect match for my room and my electronic equipment. 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Will,You hit the nail on the head. Audiophiles should do less overt projection of their sound systems and more subdued nuturing and education. My experience is to let my system do all the work. When my non-audiophile friends and family come over, ... 
Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect?
This issue definately opened some dialogue. Reading the responses has been a real eye opener on how some people feel strongly about being the winners of their point of view verse compromisers with the other's position on what makes good music (jaz...
