In Reply to: I should think not ! I think you know well the old saying,.. posted by Bambi B on March 18, 2007 at 08:29:50:
you ARE from LA arent you? but some here are so detached that they say "have your attorney call MY attorney". got that bernie?the fm market here in LA has been scrambled eggs for a while. from kbca (jazz) to kkgo (jazz) to kmzt (classical snippets) to kkgo (again, this time-COUNTRY!).
of course the late lamented KMET was a major casualty. its hard to find a good place to hear decent adult rock thats intelligent. a few years ago, a station tried twice and both attempts ended up as hispanic stations, one ended the rock format by broadcasting continuous laughing for days.
happily, kkjz (66.1fm) is receivable most everywhere i drive and at home in sylmar (my ratshack $20 fm roof atnenna has a fortunate look at signal hill). it is also available at kkjz.org and is about the best station available for jazz. of course that is arguable.
hey bambi, have you thought of the LA/OC audio society? we would enjoy an audio-knowledgeable female in our midst.

Follow Ups:
Mr. H.F. Tommy,Yes, I think it's impossible to live in Los Angeles without an attorney on retainer and I feel much more secure knowing "Bruiser" is only a cel call away! In a city where there is an attorney for every 350 people- I think the highest per capita ratio in the World, in my kind of business- architecture and construction, we have to dive for cover on a regular basis, just based on roof leaks alone. A good CPA is essential too, and I like him to be a staunch Republican who hates the idea of taxes.
The radio world in Los Angeles is always in flux, I think it's such a large market- I've heard the largest in the US- so there's a lot of Bushrands at stake and as you say, this leads to scrambled eggs.
For a long time, I've wanted to listen to more jazz, but as sson as I find a station playting it, they go off and do something else that's presumably more lucrative. I hadn't even heard of KKJZ, but my tuner dial doesn't extend to 66.1- I'll try the streaming site - thanks for mentioning that one.
As for the LA/OC audio society, I've been tempted to go functions a number of times- fortunately they seem to have events that are not all 90 dense traffic miles away, but I haven't managed to do this yet. I see in the events list there is a Brook Berdan meeting coming up and as I believe he sells Rega, I may try and attend that one and possibly hear a Rega Saturn at the same time. Perhaps I see you at that one.
Cheers,
Bambi B
KKJZ is also at University of Redlands 89.1 FM stereo for us in the East and I don't think Brooks Berdan displays Rega cd players but turntables instead.But, I never looked for one either, preferring to browse his high end gear. the rooms are quite cramped and the main listening area is dominated with his Wilson MAXX 2's and high end high ticket gear.
His meeting is Sat afternoon, much easier depending on where you live to travel early afternoon, enjoy the East side (Pasadena and Arcadia or even Claremont colleges area), then return to Monrovia for the meeting.
i AM brain dead because i meant 88.1. its the cal state long beach station that isnt run by students but great professionals.i got to meet chuck niles and sam fields before their untimely deaths. everybody thought chuck was invincible and sam was just too damned young to die! i met them when i volunteered at the station during pledge drives, something i highly recommend.
one nice thing they do is put up the playlist so if you hear something you really like, you can identify it and perhaps actually find and buy it. i strongly recommend joining as soon as you realize this is for you. it will go away if you dont.
i dont know your whereabouts but i live in sylmar and travel to nearly ALL of the society events. the one in westlake next week should be pretty good:
March -- Incredible Dealer Event: Westlake Audio and Video Westlake Village. Sunday, March 25, 2-5pm. Key featured brands are Focus Audio
speakers from Canada and Vitus Audio from Denmark. Models included are Focus Audio's flagship Master Series Two and Three, Vitus audio's power AMP, CD player as well as its newly designed cables.

Special Guest Presenter: Jim White, President of Aesthetix, will be here to talk about his latest products as well as give a demonstration.

brooks' store is a veritable museum, the cabinet in the record room is a wonder of bygone products. a visit there during or not during a meeting there is always worthwhile. take the myrtle exit off the 210, go toward the mountains.http://www.brooksberdanltd.com/Museum.htm
one can also win some nice stuff at the meetings by buying raffle tickets. i got a pair of silver acoustic zen interconnects ($1k) at one meeting and some nht super zeros ($300/pr approx) at the next. pictures can be seen in the past events tab.
finding tubes for your arc equip should be easy at upscale audio, we have a meeting there as well.
