The Cable Company - Wow
Steve is quite good. He talked me down in price from the available choices, based on the equipment I have. (I guess my rig is so low-brow that he figured it was beneath him to cheat me) And he had my records across the dozen years I have been doin... 
Need help choosing IC
I must vote for the AU24. A little laid back is a valid impression, but it will not make you tired in the long run, will not grate on you as harsh. Punchy becomes annoying before too long. 
Does digital affect analog sound??
Digital signal affects your circuits. Digital output feeds back through your power cord. These phenomena are connected with the FCC regs on CD players. They broadcast. I had my CD on in my livingroom. I went out to buy some ice cream or beer or so... 
Is your FM tuner affected by interference?
My tuner is stepped-on by seasonal solar flare activity for a couple of hours a day. It begins around 11:20 and is gone by around 1:40. I have not noticed it in the summer. 
Speaker cable connections for vintage gear
I had the ST-70 for about fifteen years. You are right about the bi-wire there. But I had new speaker jacks put in. The chassis was easy enough to modify. But I see you rather not monkey with it. So perhaps you change the cable termination to a co... 
ClearAudio aurum beta s vs. virtuoso
Thanks Ray! 
I am not an opera fan...but...
I found with my daughter that the theatrical aspect of opera is what hooked her. She liked watching Wagner's Ring cycle with the sub-titles. And the Magic Flute. Then the music could stand on its own. 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Sean...Ah. Too too long ago, and I never did compare the two before updating the Linn. I noticed that after moving to the Anniversary Ringmat, now I hear my fireplace rattling during certain loud passages. Oddly classical guitar drives the metal c... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
My AR is the ES-1. By stock, the Linn has had all the factury additions, so what do you have in mind there? Just remove the new Ringmat and use the old one? As for floor-borne, this house has none that get through the stand. I can jump up and down... 
El Salon Mexico -- old edgy version
Bachtovinyl, I will look for the Dorati one, thank you. Obviously you see what I am after. Funny, when I was a freshman in DC, Dorati was the conductor. He left in disgust, not only from the poor playing, but from the poorly behaved audiences. The... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Mlbattey, I have mine on a marble block, but I added Black Diamond cones on top of the marble, and topped it with a their pure carbon graphite "shelf". I also have a concrete slab plus carpet, but my stands terminate in spikes through the carpet. ... 
Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera
You know, I bet they would do it if Waits, his wife and Cyndi re-wrote the songs and music, and everything else for that matter. 
Passing of John Paul II - tribute ballad
Rwwear, yeah the Diz was the first version I heard. That movie was delayed for years because of the war, I understand. I loved the transition. And ole Leopold was something on the podium. Bugs did a mean Leopold as well.The late pope did an album.... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Sean, that makes sense about air-borne. I have good isolation from the floor. At least I think I do, because I have added a stand with legs terminating in spikes, a heavy marble slab, Black Diamond cones with their carbon graphite shelf on top, an... 
Passing of John Paul II - tribute ballad
There is a Decca of Pavarotti and friends for War Child. Strange name, but that is the name of the charity. It also comes on a DTS 5.1 version.
