Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately?
  When discussing Vinyl Me Please I forgot to mention another upcoming release. Craft Recordings recently announced a limited edition reissue of the Tony Rice album Church Street Blues (Tony was Art Dudley’s favorite "flat pick" acoustic guitari... 
Buffalo Springfield- “For What it’s Worth” - best vinyl version
That’s a great boxset Steve, I have it as well. All the Springfield recordings, in better-than-original LP sound quality. 5 LP’s for a hundred bucks, cheaper than Mint copies of OG’s (I ditched mine after getting the box). Thank you Neil! By the ...

  With the above encouragement (thanks fellas, I feel better now 😊 ), I will comment on a couple of Audiogon issues that came to mind as I attempted to catch up.   First was the passing of Dwight Twilley, who died on October 18th of last year, ... 
Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately?
  All right, I’ve let ya’ll suffer long enough 😉 . What happened was, I got a call from my storage facility in SoCal, telling me my space had been broken into. Actually, not just mine, but also those on either side of mine. I still have most of ... 
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
Ah, okay @john65b, the confusion is cleared up. I have a pair of the LFT-4, each of which contains two of the three LFT drivers the LFT-6 contains, with an integrated tweeter segment (the LFT-6 has two separate tweeters). If I wasn’t so far away ... 
MoFi lawsuit
  Here is one of the many videos made by my favorite new (to me) YouTube Vinyl Community LP lover, buyer, and collector. He is a perfect example of a well-informed LP consumer, and posts under his "Pressing Matters" moniker.   https://youtu.be/... 
The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded.
@loomisjohnson: That Seatrain album (their second) is a real good one. Also on it is the first version of the Lowell George song "I’m Willin" I ever heard. The album was produced by George Martin, and features the second line-up of band members, ... 
Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker.
@john65b: Eminent Technology made both a model LFT-4 (also sometimes referred to as LFT-IV) and a model LFT-6 (or -VI). The LFT-4 stands 56" tall, the LFT-6 78", and both are 18" wide. Which do you have? Less than 1,000 pair of each were made.  
Buddy Miller on "vinyl" (LP)
@doni: My pre-order of the standard version (black PVC) of In The Throes arrived a few days ago, and yesterday I went to Music Millennium to get a copy of the Indi Exclusive version (seaglass blue PVC, autographed cover). I forgot to get a CD copy... 
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
@gladmo: NoRez is a great product. Since I built sealed enclosures for the Rythmik 15" kit, I braced the Hell out of them: 1.5" x 1.5" Baltic Birch ply braces (doubled pieces of 0.75" x 1.5") every 6" inches, in all three planes: front-to-back, le... 
unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms...
Van Dyke Parks comes to mind. He doesn't have a website, but his Wikipedia write-up will give you his outline.  
They know we will pay anything they can think of
The essay by Steven Stone is a good one,  but awfully ironic; he has long written reviews for The Absolute Sound, which mainly features coverage of very expensive hi-fi gear. Has Stone been over to Fremer's house? 😉  
MoFi lawsuit
  Oops, baldface lying. I figured I would correct myself before someone else does. 😉  
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
  For those who can do rudimentary woodworking (just a simple box), the Rythmik Subs are available as DIY kits. For those who can't, a local cabinet maker can do it for you pretty cheaply. The 15" Rythmik sub comes in a China-sourced 3cu.ft. enc... 
Five feet from the front wall
@mijostyn: Just for the record, I much prefer an "over"-damped room to an "under"-damped one. My current one is on the over-damped side, and I have found diffusion to keep all the output of my dipoles audible, whereas I believe damping (please, no...
