| Hampton Hawes....where to start? I'm a big fan of Jazz in general and collect a lot of piano Jazz. I have fourteen Hampton Hawes LPs where he is the leader and many others were he's the sideman. None of these are a disappointment.One of my favorite is on Artist House, "As Long As... | |
| Better when it rains? Ivan_nosnibor is on the right track in my opinion. However this goes beyond your own home, to include the local AC grid which I suspect benefits from the additional moisture and improved grounding when it rains.During the summer months the rain al... | |
| Dallas Audio Club John Fort was a close friend for many years, I used to see him all the time. After Patti and I were blessed with our son we got too busy for several of our friends. Then John got married and we hardly ever saw each other. John is a very bright and... | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic Tough moving from Sound Lab to conventional speaker since they do things so differently.I went from Sound Lab U1 to Dali Megaline because the Megaline is a fast cone system with dipole ribbon tweeter. That made the transition much easier and Dali ... | |
| A.R.T. Q dampers Sorry, they were sold. Have you tried Stillpoints? They are superior to ART Q in my system. Might be worth a try. | |

| Which Firewall cable Maybe you mean Firewire cable? Assume you are doing computer based audio? | |
| Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm Cdk84I ought to have mentioned, for several reasons, that I've had considerable listening time with Both SME V-spec arms, the 9" and the 12. The difference is Very Pronounced. This is direct experience with at least 200 hours' listening. I arrive... | |
| Sending Check for Payment to Sounds of Silence I've had several dealing with Steve, I think highly of him and would not worry one minute about sending him a check. My Vibraplane came from him and I paid by check precisely as you questioned. I know you did not ask but I think the Vibraplane is ... | |
| Dallas Audio Club Still doing our Tuesday night thing, same as we have since about 1977, that's pretty consistent :^). | |
