| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Well alright then! I do believe I'm gettin' one. At $199, it's a no brainer. I still see a Degritter in my future, but until then this one will do. Thanks for the heads up @skypunk. | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters Yes Tim, and there's nothing worse than having to listen to a bad tweeter, right? | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Am I correct in thinking that the main thing missing from this USCM is a water filtration system? I suppose a filter is not absolutely required if one is willing to empty and clean the tank of debris every few LP's. But the cost of frequent water ... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews I watched a few more of the videos tonight, and one of them contained this quote from Bobby about Jim Gordon:"What a great, great drummer. A magnificent drummer. At one time we (Delaney & Bonnie, with whom Bobby first worked with as a trio) ha... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews @roxy54: Yes, that is exactly what Whitlock is saying. Eric Clapton, upon hearing Music From Big Pink, came to the same conclusion. That’s why he disbanded Cream and traveled to the Big Pink house in West Saugerties, New York, intending to ask to ... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs If you can find it (I have it on the v/a collection International Pop Overthrow Vol.6), listen to "One Hit Wonders Of The World Unite" by Canadian Group The Badgers (available for hearing on a YouTube video). Hooky as hell, with a killer sing-alon... | |
| Acoustat Electrostatic spearkers Roger Modjeski (Music Reference, RAM Tubes) very much liked the Acoustat drivers, but considered the company's interface transformers junk. He designed and built a replacement, but unless you already own a pair that is academic; Roger left none be... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Man, some great Pop listed just above! I’ve been a "song pusher" my entire adult life. That’s the thing about Pop music: It’s all about the song. I have a nice little 7" 45 RPM collection, about 800 singles. I had a lot of 45’s before getting my f... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? For the highly-motivated: In the 90’s Townshend Audio offered for sale separately their Damping Trough, for installation and use on non-Rock tables. The DT Kit included the Trough, mounting plates (two, of differing dimensions) and hardware, a sma... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ Excellent @glubson. From the fertile mind of Bruce Thigpen, the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Subwoofer, for the bottom octave (20-40Hz) down (fed enough power, flat to 1Hz!). | |
| Spades vs Bananas vs Bare Wire Treated with Caig Deox For a unique solution to the cable/loudspeaker connection "problem", look into the Tube Connector offered by GR Research. GR's Danny Richie explains it in some of his Tech Talk Tuesday YouTube videos. | |
| Tube Amplifiers: Carver Crimson 75 wpc or Primaluna Monoblocks A Music Reference RM-9 Mk.2 if you are patient enough to wait for one to become available (less than a thousand were made). 125w/ch, EL34 tube life 10,000 hours (four tubes per channel), around $2,000 used. Or the RM-200 MK. 2, about the same powe... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Pop is imo any song with a good melody and "hooky" (sing-along) chorus refrain. Pop songs have traditionally also followed a classic structure (though they don’t necessarily have to): Intro/1st verse/chorus/2nd verse/chorus/bridge (called middle 8... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, I just put in another 600 piece outer sleeve order with Vinyl Storage Solutions. Michael came up with a brilliant new design: a "multi-purpose" sleeve, open at both ends with a flap and resealable glue strip. It can be used on the middle se... | |
| A person I would like to thank/mention in the history of the high end, Peter Walker, Roger Modjeski, Bruce Thigpen, Jim Winey, Bill Johnson. |
