| Don't care for my Philips 963 Did you try the infamous mod of changing the main capacitor with a $30 Blackgate capacitor ? Made a major difference in my unit in almost all aspects. Fuller and richer, much better pace and punch. Overall much more involving. I'd say that would b... | |
| Archiving VHS to DVD If you're looking for simplicity, there are also units that take the output of a VCR and burn them directly to DVD-R. I know Sony has at least one. There are also units that have both a VCR and a DVD burner. | |
| Using a CDP to copy a cd to computer Another vote for EAC here. I've even had it correct flaws in CDs that would otherwise be unplayable. | |
| All Music Guide- Who are You can gain at least a little bit of insight by looking at their books. I have a few of the 'All Music Guide" books and each has a long list of "contributors", though with no descriptions. They do have a paragraph or so on each of the editors for... | |
| Great Ska music I always loved "Dance Craze" that great concert movie which featured most of the great English ska bands live. Like Madess, English Beat, Bad Manners, etc. I have the soundtrack on vinyl. Looks like there is an ancient CD release. Wonder if it eve... | |
| Mis-guided passion, mis-spent cash, my advice..... I agree that being able to share one's passion for sound feels great. I've been doing it as a sound engineer for a couple of folk music series. It's not the best gear, but the ability to tailor the sound to how you think it should be, and to prese... | |
| Besides the soundcard.... does the computer itself Some people think that external "sound cards" are better than ones inside the computer. Due to less electrical noise from the PC components. I'm talking about external units that hook up via USB or Firewire ports. Personally I haven't had any expe... | |

| The best band you've never heard of They are a great band, but I would not call them Texas Swing. That sounds like Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Asleep at the Wheel or maybe Spade Cooley. The Spankers music is closer to 1920's jazz; verging on jug band music (which I'm a big fan... | |
| I Need Some "Modern Groove" Jazz Suggestions How about Sonny Rollins ? His "Way Out West" is just sax, bass and drums. You might also try "Saxaphone Colussus".Branford Marsalis's "Trio Jeepy" is great sax trio too. I think he has some others.I concur with the Joshua Redman suggestion. I like... | |
| Cable TV receiver induced hum into system If your cable box as a 3 prong plug, try lifting the ground on it with a cheater plug. It should cost about 50 cents and may fix the hum. | |
| what's your favorite album cover? Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Interesting and cluttered. Like much of the music on it. | |
| Cry me a river "No Time to Cry" by Iris DeMent from her "My Life" CDWhen she sings it in concert it'shard to find a dry eye in the house. | |
| Need Help with "Burning or Recording CD's" The problem may have to do with how you're doing your burning. Do not just read from one CD drive and burn directly to the burner. First copy the CD to your hard drive using something like the EAC program mentioned by Metralla. Then use a CD burni... | |
| Metal cassette's and bias settings? If you want to buy any blank metal tapes, I recommend that you buy them soon. I don't think many are being made anymore. When looking for blank TDK's a few months ago, I learned that my local stores stopped carrying them, and most web sites no lon... |
