| Tune of the Day Dang Steve, I'm green with envy! Mary Gauthier was just wonderful last night. My introduction to Mary was her 2002 album Mercy Now, which was produced by Lucinda's original guitarist/bandleader/producer, Gurf Morlix. As I anticipated, Mary was ban... | |

| Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line. Roger Modjeski never once advertised in Stereophile, yet his RM-200 amplifier has been in the Class A Tube category for twenty years (it's Fremer's reference "affordable" tube amp). AND, since Roger's passing a few years ago has not been available... | |
| Which Subwoofer Jim Salk offers Rythmik Subs both incorporated into some of his loudspeakers and as stand-alone subs. He takes the F15HP DIY kit (as well as the F12) and installs it in an enclosure of his own design and build, and it is incredible! It is an extre... | |
| Tune of the Day I think I've mentioned this song before, but it deserves a second recommendation: "West" by Lucinda Williams. The most deeply and romantically melancholy song I've ever heard. Also great, subtle drumming by Jim Keltner, with the best use of a bass... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Has anyone bought and heard the new Renaissance Records reissue of the debut album of Pentangle? I’m having no luck finding a clean original. | |
| Referent point @noromance: And a well recorded vocal through the QUAD ESL. Or acoustic guitar, or harpsichord. For acoustic bass, piano, and drumset, it’s a magnetic-planar loudspeaker (Magneplanar Tympani, Eminent Technology LFT-8b, GR Research OB speaker---inc... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Great post, Neil. Thanks for all the filter info, not to mention your LP cleaning "article" that @whart published on his site. As I consider vacuuming off the water after cavitation a must, I came to the conclusion that the Degritter---nice as it ... | |
| Magnepan Mylar Repair A lot of info on this subject can be found on the Planar Speaker Asylum site. Magnepan is by far the most-covered planar brand there. | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? Demoing equipment and giving advice is how the retailer earns his 40 (or so) points.Brooks Berdan charged list price for the cartridges he sold, but that also bought the customer cartridge "run in" (playing the cartridge for 20 hours or so, to rel... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Great, great post, @prof!The list of hi-fi engineers who operate(d) via the design with measurements/verify with listening methodology is a long one, including a couple of my favorites: Roger Modjeski (Music Reference, electronics) and Danny Richi... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @dtrandall: Talk about a lack of self-awareness, ay? As another Audiogon member said to me in a pm, it’s projection. Hey, it works for the great orange blowhard, right? ;-) | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? I seem to remember Modejeski discussing that Futterman 60dB feedback figure in one of the threads on the Music Reference AudioCircle Forum (though dormant, all posts are still viewable), and maybe in one of his three seminars at The Burning Amp Fe... | |
| Referent point Actually, it is J.S. Bach. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Just back from dinner out with the sisters, where I had my first Old Fashioned, a drink I saw ordered in that recent TV show Michael Douglas has been in (I forget the name). My first OF, and my last. Too sweet!Alrighty, here’s what I brought home ... |
