| Unintended lyrics Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Cold Shot", we have the lyrics, "That's a cold shot, babe". Sounds like "Mexico shopping" | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Glory, yes, that makes me feel better. I thank you for that. I just get fed up with SS being classified as inferior. The best system I ever heard had huge solid state Classe monoblocks with CJ tube preamplification, if my memory serves me correctl... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Glory with another put-down? Just "decent", eh? Just can't come to terms with the possibity that there are excellent SS amps out there? I find alot of people posting troubles with the tube amps they have, mostly with the tubes themselves. Should I... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? I hate when narrow minded people put down solid state gear. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't make it low end. There are plenty of hi end SS pieces to choose from. | |
| When did you know that music was your passion? When I was around 6 or 7 years old I had this fascination with the inner workings of older electronics. I'm 51, to put this in perspective. I would dis-assemble old tube radios and such to see what they were made of. I thought those big old caps w... | |
| Anti-Cable IC's Depends on your system. They didn't work in mine, but they work in systems much costlier than mine. | |
| What Vinyl quality should I be using? Second what Sns said. I just listened to my first lp cleaned on a record cleaner with vacuum, good 3 step AIVS solutions, and 3 good brushes. The sonics blew me away! Was just using a Discwasher before. The difference is night and day! | |
| Best lines in a song This may seem a bit corny, but the Star Spangled Banner, by Francis Scott Key, will give me the biggest rush when performed right, at any major event. | |
| What's your profession? Age? Electronics Tech, Senior H.E.O., fiberglass manufacturing company. System worth around $25K new, paid around half that amount, some pieces new, most used. I'm vintage 1956. | |
| vintage turntables? Mapman, I had a Philips 212 back in '75 that I remember being a very good table. Loved the electronic touch controls! I got me a Linn a few years back, and will probably stay with it. | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks Myrtle wood blocks underneath CDP, with a weight on top for vibration, and Auric Illuminator on the discs all add subtle changes for the better. I put a thick maple cutting board under my turntable, with myrtle wood blocks under each piece, and th... | |
| Your last speaker? I stopped looking. But that doesn't mean I won't trip over something else. | |
| How many system makeovers to get to where u r now? Since 1975:8 speakers pairs4 int. amps2 power amps5 receivers4 turntablesAcquired probably 4 times the above amount just to have, not to upgrade. | |
| Does the Linn 'green paper' seem questionable? Great tip on the majic eraser. Getting one tomorrow! thanx much! | |
| The partner or wife factor My wife has put up with my upgrades for the last few years without much fuss. I went from a system that was worth around 15 hundred to my current system, which cost quite a bit. When she wants something, she usually gets it, like the new deck and ... |
