dj-wise, my biggest pet peeve is any talking at all, except to announce jams, bands, etc. Talking about the next song you're about to play is a waste of time for the dancers, IMO. Although nobody around here does that, I've just seen it at exchanges/camps/competitions. music-wise, what I can't stand...

Well, I've heard the Mackie SRM450s and I agree that they sound good. But they also cost at least twice as much for the same setup as the P-250. Regarding the equipment hauling aspect, I agree that the Passport shape and handle can be a hassle. But at least with the Passports you don't need to make ...

The last time I was in a high-end audio shop I heard a recording of Limehouse Blues that had an amazing sound. It was a live recording from a jazz club that, to my ears, sounded like you were right in the room. It's not big band at all, more like Modern Jazz Quartet, but it might work for you. The a...

Using "Watch This Forum"
At Jesse's suggestion I've started using the "Watch This Forum" feature. So far it seems like it's working pretty well. However I have a few questions/comments about the feature: - right now the reply-to header for these emails is always jesse@swingdjs.com. This is OK but it would be much ...

www.cheap-cds.com has fewer sampled CDs overall, but for those it has, it typically has the whole CD. Plus they have .m3u (playlist) files for the CDs, so you can click on one link and hear the whole CD. www.towerrecords.com is also pretty good about getting most of the tracks for the CDs they have....

I have a PJB100 that I've had for over two years now. When I bought it, it had a 6G drive, now it has a 40G one. The firmware is good, sound quality is good, and the USB protocol it uses is open. On the downside it's a 3+ year old hardware platform. It's bigger than the ipod, and it only supports US...

I rarely buy from half.com anymore, but their bare-bones search searches both artist and album title at the same time. Since they deal in used items, they list both in and out of print recordings. My usual mode is to search on allmusic.com first and everywhere else next, e.g. cheap-cds, amazon, etc....
