| The Hub: Viva Las Vegas! C1ferrari: the CES show proper my indeed be difficult to attend without some form of business affiliation. However, all they require is a business card with your name on it, and a company name that somehow implies an electronics industry affiliati... | |
| The Hub: E. T. , in your home? Thanks for the nice comments, guys.E.T. is one of those companies that makes me proud of the high end, with amazing performance, innovation and customer care. I hope Bruce continues to blaze trails for decades to come. | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Well-put, gents! Keep the faith! | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Just to stir things up a bit: I agree with you that some of the most realistic, musical sound is to be found on 78's, especially early acoustic recordings. I once heard a giant Victor Credenza which I found more involving and real than almost any ... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Eh... I'll probably stir up those long-festering debates one of these days! | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Thanks to all for the interesting comments and analyses.Ferrari: I expect further breakthroughs in digital playback, and I suspect there's a bit more to be extracted from CDs, but you clearly cannot extract stuff that just ain't there. Redbook doe... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Thanks, all. I'm not sure what the "broken clock" comment means, and I always thought Mikey was pretty sensible, all along.Other than that, I find little to argue with in y'all's comments. Seems as though I'm a little more optimistic regarding vin... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Thanks to all for your interesting comments. We're getting too many to address individually (thanks!), but I will throw out a few points.Yes, the fad/trend definitions were not the typical ones, but I thought they really got to the heart of the ma... | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? Thanks for the comments and opinions. Personally, I think the impact of DJ-wannabees alone will keep LPs afloat for a good while.I also think there's something about a solid, physical object that fulfills a need that downloads just can't. Again, I... | |
| The Hub: Your newbie wants a system? Thanks for the comments, although I think some manufacturers might find them a tad harsh.Glad you've found a way that works for you; one way or another, we all have to. While I have a nice pair of Sennheisers HD 600s, headphones just don't do it f... | |
| The Hub: Futterman H3: Seen one lately? Amazing? Yes, it certainly can be.I'm reminded of a comedian who said some years ago,"here's the greatest advance in communications in the history of mankind, and it's mostly being relegated to some guy typing 'are you really a girl??' at 3 in the... | |
| The Hub: Your newbie wants a system? I think many like the idea of all the storage being kept on an iPod. Obviously, files could be kept on both the 'pod and the computer, for home and mobile apps.Either approach is valid; I think many find the task of setting up a music server daunt... | |
| The Hub: Futterman H3: Seen one lately? Thanks, Ralph. I know yours aren't Futtermans, didn't mean to imply they were. If memory serves, the Circlotron OTLs were first marketed by ElectroVoice, of all people.I appreciate your bit of history, as well. | |
| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect Stanwal, thanks for the info. Looks cool.Sherod: on any given day you've got LOTS of turntables to choose from here. Give it a shot!Of course, I've got six turntables in my garage, none fully functional....;-> | |
| The Hub: Thorens TD-125: the table that couldn't get no respect Yup. There are German specialists who make replacement, higher-grade platters for the TD-124, but I'm not aware of ones available for the 125 or 160. I can tell you that those pieces cost about as much as a whole restored table from Chris!Larry at... |
