| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner One way to look at the price of a machine such as The Degritter is: if your local used-record store were to charge you $1 to clean an LP on an USC, would you do it? Well, if you have 3,000 LP's in your music library (a reasonable number), buying a... | |
| Best rock song of all times I didn't read through all the posts, and I'm not certain what "Rock" means, but at the moment I have a special love of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (as much Classical as Rock, what with it's J.S. Bach compositional elements) and "The Weight", two maje... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Finally is right @prof! I'll bet the Degritter company was so back-ordered they didn't have a spare to send him (at no cost to him). Plus, they were selling every machine they could make, no need for a review. Fremer gets most the new-release/reis... | |
| RIP Tony Rice Great article @patrickdowns, thanks. The bassist mentioned in it (Todd Phillips) is an old friend of mine from San Jose. He was leaving a band I was just joining in '71, to focus on studying mandolin with David Grisman up in Marin County. David en... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! In his Music Reference section of the AudioCircle Forums, Roger Modjeski provided lots of info about tubes, including their biasing. Those writings are still available for viewing. | |

| Any line array rigging experts here please? Danny Richie covers all aspects of line array loudspeaker design in his GR Research section of the AudioCircle Forums, and in some of his Tech Talk Tuesday videos on YouTube. | |
| Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed Even 2-3 feet is sub-optimal. 5' is much better; that creates the required 10ms delay between front wave and reflected rear wave arrival times at the listening position. | |
| I have a theory... There is a self-described very stable genius who also has delusional theories (he's actually just a grifter/con artist, though a successful one). Maybe he'll use some of that new donor money he fleeced out of those poor naive suckers to fund the o... | |
| XLRs | AES48 Standard | Matrix Mini-i 3 Pro | Benchmark DAC3B Tim de Paravicini made his EAR-Yoshino pre-amps in accordance with AES48, via his superior balancing transformers (routinely used in the studio work he did a lot of). | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" At the ultimate level, it's not analog vs. digital, it's ANY recording vs. direct-to-disk. After all these years, a superior d-2-d LP played on a superior turntable/arm/cartridge is STILL vastly more "alive" sounding that ANY electronic---analogue... | |
| Leslie West has Passed On First time I saw Leslie, he was onstage in the band The Vagrants, wearing a fishnet cape adorned with feathers (?!). I think as the opening act for The Jeff Beck Group at the original Fillmore Auditorium (Fall of '68). Leslie was playing a Les Pau... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection @jafant, is Vol. 16 actually available? I tend to take my time getting each new volume, and actually only fairly recently got Vol.15. I would have preferred more from John Wesley Harding and less of the Johnny Cash recordings on that one.There is ... |
