| Loudest Sound Ever? @reubent The Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway raced for the last time earlier this year and Houston Raceway Park in Baytown is closing up shop for good following the running of the Springnationals a few weeks ago. We had just crossed the st... | |
| Theta Data Basic Transport Repair About 10-15 years ago the drawer on my Data Basic quit working and it turned out to be "the gear". I called Theta and they said they had one left and, for $100, they'd ship it. This is for a nylon gear no bigger than an inch in diameter, as I reca... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 tube rolling I've had my MP-1 and M60s for 20 years now. Follow Ralph's advice and stick with the Russian provenance 6AS7Gs or, alternatively, the 6H13C. I had a brief fling with the Chinese variant and found they had a high failure rate/short life span. | |
| Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants @ mozartfan Would you clarify the meaning of the phrase "crocking frongs" for the uninitiated, please. | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. @wrm57 "exorcised"@richopp +1 | |
| Downside of sensitivity? @johnk I think you pretty well summed it up. If you really want full range and lifelike sound you’ve got to be willing to accommodate the physical size requirements necessary to facilitate it naturally. Otherwise, you’re reduced to trying to bludg... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. Do you remember an ezine called "Stereo Mojo"? They've been gone for awhile but I remember cringing virtually every time I read one of their show reports. It wasn't just comma misuse but every imaginable form of grammatical and mechanical errata ... | |
| Blindfold Speaker testing Hey mozart, you any relation to oldhvymec??? | |
| Looking for opinions of Bulter Audio Monad vs. Engstrum Lars vs NAT Magma Now that is one very interesting trio of amps and I would very much like to hear all of them myself. Unfortunately, I have never even laid eyes on any of them so, obviously, I have no relevant insight to share. But fear not...there will be several... | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass I guess it's possible that the organ recordings cognescenti might thumb their noses at this particular recording because of its provenance (which is the only reason I can think of that would explain the failure of its mention thus far) and the OP ... | |
| Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables @ozzy If what you posted is really his verbatim reply then all I can say is that I hope the product is a whole lot more accomplished than his English skills. | |
| Speaker purchase question I see points on both sides but, all things considered, I'm more inclined to give the seller the benefit of the doubt and, personally, would not leave negative feedback. | |
| So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went! @hvymec Do you find much sonic difference between the SS almonds and tubed ones??? | |
| Organ Lovers That's one evil lookin' positively bad to the bone mofo. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? @ kirschner and keegiam "Dominique...inique...inique...what a catchy little tune (for '63). Just had to go to utube and check it out after all these years. What caught me off guard was how uptempo it was compared to memory.Can't remember my fir... |
