Hello darlin....and other audiophiles...

An absolutely crushing realization...I drove home knowing I was going to
listen to Conway Twitty and low and behold....I had no Conway in my
collection! I will cure that tomorrow...


On another note...there is one CD I have ( a copy ) that absolutely drives
my drivers (bass) to the point of destruction...a 3/8's to 1/2 inch throw on
a normal CD and with this one specific copy they are going near one
inch....even at very low volume....any ideas?

P S It blew one driver before I figured it out...a not inexpensive repair...

if it is JUST that one CD, I would simply suggest avoiding it. Otherwise, a
subsonic filter, if your preamp has one, will address the issue if it
happens regularly. Odd that it is a CD, as I've heard that issue from LP
play more often, and that issue can be frequently traced to one of a few
factors, such as tonearm resonances, surface resonances from below the
table, or improper cartridge setup.

I never experienced that problem when I was spinning vinyl...and yeah....it
is just that one particular CD. It's weird as heck. I have a call in for
the original and for a copy to be made on another system to do some
caparison tests...

Now....in case anyone is curious....do I copy CD's? yes. once.
We go halfsies and the winner of the coin toss gets to keep the original
jacket....do I boot leg or buy such? no...


I will let you know the results of my tests and I will take a drive Monday
to go and talk to the most knowledgeable people I know at Parts Express...

they are Arum Cantus speakers, Adcom amp and pre amp....a small not so
powerful system but ideally suited for my listening environment.....

no way should the displacement be that great on those woofers......even 3/4
inch would scare me on my Klipschs, and they have 12 in woofers....At any
rate, the Adcom should have some sort of a bass filter to moderate very low
bass, but it is odd that only the one CD copy gives you an issue. Good luck
on your quest, John.

Thanks John! I'm listening to Conway while I work on my research paper!

Great performer.

The CD in question is Bob Martins' Midwest Farm Disaster..gosh..it's more
than 30 years ago it came out on vinyl and is only recently became available
on disc...Not the beauty of voice like Jesse has but at the time he made the
album all things clicked. It has such classics as Old Rass (the horse that
takes grandpa home when the old man's gone drunk blind) and Frog Dick south
Dakota (toilet seat capital of the world)....and Blind Marie.

I just pulled up Jesse on you tube..I had never heard of him and I will have
to pick up some of his stuff...care to recommend any CD's in particular?

thanks for the heads up...I'm getting to the age where new music is the only
novel pleasure I can find...

I love listening to new music and I am constantly doing so.

I thank the person that made the post about Jesse Winchester
I have not hear him in years
So
I immediately went to the Zune marketplace and downloaded some of his music
Yrs ago I had his first album just called Jesse Wincherster released in
1970 and its still a good album.

Most of my downlaods are Celtic (Irish) and Scottish and Newfoundland music
- mainly fiddle and accordian\
I rarely go anywhere w/o my mp3 player

I really need to get up on the downloading thing...my local-been there
forever-music store is closing this month and I don't think Wal-Mart is
going to have the artists I like..Amazon and Ebay helps...

I tried to check out the Zune site buy I get bored when I can't get my
questions answered in five or ten minutes..it looks like most of the stuff
is for mp3 type players? I need a place I can burn to CD and play on my
stereo system...and I can't play anything that has been compressed.

Zune costs $15 or $16 mo
Unlimited downlaods.
I listen to some pretty esoteric music and Zune does not have all - say 60%
..
But that's OK becuae if I have to and its not on Zune I go to the Amazon
marketplace or the artist's own page and either buy a CD or download it
form Amazon prices are say $10 mp3 vs $15 for the CD

If I download any music I don't like
It costs me nothing so it just gets deleted

I have more music to listen to now than I will ever get the chance to listen
to in my lifetime My 120G player is filled and
There area few sources for digging out some newer but "different" music
so I am always adding
I rotate songs-

I wet to Zune from Rhapsody and other music services as it was the easiest
to synch properly w my mp3 player
I move my player between 3 stereo systems in the house , all of our
computer(s) - also used in the cars
and at various times w just headphones
The quality is the best I have ever heard esp w Shure headphones

If you have an ipod you may have more of a choice
