| Pick my album If you haven’t heard Dave Edmunds’ 1st album on Swan Song (personally signed by DE fan Robert Plant), give a listen to his Get It album. 100% American Rock ’n’ Roll by the great Welshmen, who later produced The Stray Cats, The Fabulous Thunderbird... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Marilyn Monroe: "Happy Birthday To You", the you of course being President Kennedy. Somewhat related, I never heard Traci Lords' album. | |
| Pick my album Excellent @iron57, you know yer stuff! | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k EAR-Yoshino 912, a favorite of Art Dudley. | |
| Pick my album Philosophy Of The World by The Shaggs from 1969, a favorite of Frank Zappa. Reissued in 1980 on Rounder Records, at the suggestion of Terry Adams and Tom Ardolino of NRBQ. | |
| magnapans.7i and subs @johnnyaa, the statement above that REL subs connect "unlike anything else" is incorrect. Rythmik subs also provide for "High level" connection (from the main power amp, on binding posts), but unlike REL's offer the alternative "Low level" (from a... | |
| Damn, what a joy to have good College FM stations. Oops. While The Wailers WERE an early-60’s Garage band (the U.S. Wailers, not the Reggae band of course), it was The Kingsmen (both The Wailers and The Kingsmen were from the Northwest) who had the hit with "Louie Louie", written and recorded in 1... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, were you into Rank & File during their heyday (the 1980’s) ? Alejandro was the guitarist in the band, Chip and Tony Kinman being the songwriters/singers in that Cowpunk band. They played in L.A. regularly (though based in San Francisco)... | |
| Damn, what a joy to have good College FM stations. @whatjd, we must be about the same age ;-) . Though the pre-British Invasion Pop music was dismissed as disposable fluff by the mid-late-60’s counterculture and critics---who insisted on bands being primarily Blues-based---they were mistaken. Your... | |
| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? @tablejockey, yeah, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is great musically, but the recorded sound is not very good. The low end is rolled off (no doubt in anticipation of the poor tracking abilities of the arms & cartridges presumably owned by th... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? @bomd, I too have found Echo to be cool. I had been at the old location, and recently accompanied a friend of mine to the new store in Beaverton when he went there to get a new belt for his Pro-Ject turntable. Though it was only a (iirc) $20 sale,... | |
| I finally get it! @tomic601, nope, I sold my spare Super Gold (a Decca, not a London) a couple years ago. I have two current London's, gonna get a mono one asap.@slaw, I'm a firm "believer" in 1-shot tonearm wiring: an uninterrupted run from cartridge tags to RCA p... | |
| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? Where are you getting the LP from, Steve?I just tonight watched a short video on Dylan's Blonde On Blonde album. Kenny Buttrey, who is the drummer on Neil's Harvest (and is one of my all-time favorite drummers) played on BOB when he was 14 years old! | |
| I finally get it! I’ve owned four VPI tables (two currently), but all without VPI arms. I’ve had a few uni-pivots and a Well Tempered, but just don’t like their "feel". The VPI platter spindle/bearing is machined to pretty high tolerances (no play/slop), as are the... | |
| Your thoughts on upgrading Feickert protractor @chakster, if I'm reading both your and slaw's posts correctly, Steve is speaking of the other end of the protractor: the hole for locating the center of the arm's pivot point/bearing(s). |
