| Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT I have used the Ringmat in two models for ten years on my Linn. I bought the Anniversary to move the previous Ringmat to my AR table. The Anniversary improved performance when playing very loudly a series of passages that have always had trouble. ... | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? Ever since I broke my leg, I find a wheelchair solves the problem and is cheaper. | |
| Understanding phono stages/What to look for? I have been using the BC on one of my systems for four years now. I am considering only the optional power source. I like the easy settings, and the sound is great. On my high-end system (read: high-for-me), the Linn has one for twice as much that... | |
| Turntable height Skip, you lucky guy. Every time I ask a question, the answer costs me at least twelve hundred bucks. Irrelevant and immaterial, your honor. It is all your own ergonomics. Now, location is another matter. | |
| To Play, or Not to Play? 4yanx, I agree. Trophies do nothing. I am reminded of my favorite hotel in Florence. It is cheap, comfortable and has good air conditioning for summer. Also it is walking distance to my favorite vinyl shops. But the proprietor there has a wine col... | |
| To Play, or Not to Play? I would smoke them all, but I made the mistake of raising another generation. And I want the thrill of opening a sealed one to be enjoyed. Besides its only 5%, and most I have another on hand. I guess I am hearing that we are the last. | |
| On the Transmigration of Souls blotter??Language has a hard time with transmigration and souls and, for that matter, music. I do not relegate difficult music to the trivial. | |
| To Play, or Not to Play? I hatched an egg of mine own that plays LPs. I keep some sealed for her and beyond. I keep some waiting for the appreciative guest. It happens about every three years that I uncork one. I am a 5% collector. I bought a signed Starker and one to pla... | |
| On the Transmigration of Souls Oh, Mwheelerk, you just don't read enough Hegel. It is the phenomenology of active encounter with the spirit of music, in which being encounters the alien, defines itself against it, then turns back upon itself to become free from the initial sepa... | |
| On the Transmigration of Souls I like this piece. To me, more than Adams' other works. I place it with Gorecki's 'Symphony of Sorrows'. You raise interesting questions about both mood and frequency. I think it takes a few hearings to train the receptivity and the reception. The... | |
| Are there "Cliff's Notes" for the repertooire? I could not get to the website. I will try again because it sounds useful. In the mean time I have two ideas. Book: A History of Western Music by Donald Jay Grout, published by those careful folks at Norton. You might get a good cheap used copy at... | |
| Carbon Fiber Brushes I switched from Hunt to Audioquest seven years ago. I have not yet replaced it. | |
| Do You Have a Homemade Record Cleaning Machine? I think you stumped the chumps this time Paul. I don't even see the usual half-baked, cornball, studded with kooky keyboard special character responses. But that future web site invites. What is this crazy boy up to this time? A Rube Goldberg revi... | |
| Best Quality Recording On Vynil Love that Dark side. I have an original and a re-master and the anniversary. Also, Willie Nelson 'Stardust' I have four releases including the new 45. Great. Doc Watson and Ian & Sylvia on Cisco are beautiful quality. Finally Getz and Giberto. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nothing! My LP-12 is in the shop getting a new arm. So I am spinning CDs that I have not in at least a decade. That is my rule. And I am throwing away more than a third of them. And I am making a smaller pile of those I can get on LP now, or even ... |
