| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) The Japanese distributor of fo.Q just cancelled my order and issued a refund. Drat! | |
| Best debut album @bob540, Great call! | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) @millercarbon, does the lava lamp provide any sonic benefits? I ordered some fo.Q tape a few weeks ago. Still waiting for it to arrive from Japan. Then I'll have to figure out where to stick it. Tonearm tube and/or bearing housing? Inside transpor... | |
| Best debut album Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Everybody knows this is nowhere. (I'm skipping his first solo release which did not include the band, so technically...)Crosby, Stills, & Nash | |
| Who's done it besides me ? I didn't break it off but I bent the cantilever (more like perverted the suspension) on a Hana EL. I negotiated some credit with the dealer and traded it in for a SL and paid the difference. Needn't have spent the money. A few months later I got a... | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? It's very hard for the owner of separates to say an integrated is better, and vise a versa (SP?) I believe, so you have to factor that into how may grains of salt you take responses with. That being said, I have chosen a class D integrated, the be... | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first It's almost impossible to audition a phono cartridge in a meaningful way before you pay for it, in my experience. All the other components I have 'bought' without hearing first have had a reasonable return policy. Luckily, few have had to be retur... | |
| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer Off the top of my head I would have said Neil Young. It turns out it's Linda Ronstadt (19) followed by a tie between Bruce Springsteen and Cowboy Junkies (13). | |
| What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable? @noromance ,Thanks for your reply. | |
| What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable? I have a Sumiko Premier MMT on an Oracle Alexandria MK3 (the black one for those who are unfamiliar.) I love the table; but it's a PIA to change tonearms and there are only so many that can be applied without buying new suspension springs from Ora... | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. @chakster The Linn Basik is NOT awful. Could you please try to open your mind up to those of us who are not "cost is no object" members!There were many reviews of the Basik/LVX table paired with a Shure V15 that declared it the best value in high ... | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. 1) I can't find the MyMat on US Audio Mart. A little help, please?2) isn't it the height of insanity (or arrogance) to recommend that one spend $250 on a mat for a Linn Basik? That money surely could be better spent.3) I have a Linn Basik in my "B... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I love the way that Parnas physically interacts with her instrument. At one point she tosses her hair back to increase the intimacy with her neck. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music @geoffkait I heard her free concert on the mall in 1971 when I was at GWU. Did you ever go to the Red Lion pub? There was also a pizza place we frequented (if you can call anything they served in DC real pizza - I'm from NJ) but I can't recall the... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music @mahgister Thanks 4 the response. |
