| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? New Record Day Ron takes himself very seriously, and somehow got the idea in his head that we should too. His attitude and mannerisms are pompous, pretentious, and annoying, aren't they? I appreciate all he's doing to help Danny reach a larger aud... | |
| can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge Whoever does the setup needs to see the diagram of the interior of the Omega arm, which is pictured on the card supplied for locating the hole for mounting. The bearing is offset from the center of the mounting hole, and affects the arm's effectiv... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world @roxy54, you are SOP right about VGPS! Ray's other masterpieces are the two previous Kinks albums, the equally great Face To Face ('66) and Something Else ('67). Three in a row! | |

| can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge Give Brian Berdan at Audio Elements in Pasadena a call. He was trained in the art and science of turntable/arm/cartridge set-up by his pa, the legendary Brooks Berdan, and is now himself an expert.Do you still have the cartridge alignment protract... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio, how much time ya got? ;-) There is a lot that could be said in answer to your question, but I’ll be as brief as possible.Of all the ingredients that go into the making of music, for me by far the most important is the song (Jagger ... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Moby Grape: Moby Grape '69 and 20 Granite Creek. While not up to the very high standard their debut established, still very good albums.Crazy Horse: Crazy Horse. Known as The Rockets prior to being hired by Neil Young to be his band (and with one ... | |
| Most amusing album or song titles "If You Play With My Mind You're Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty", written by Cornell Hurd (formerly of San Jose, California, an Austin tradition since 1979), recorded by the great Springfield, Missouri band The Skeletons (found on their Waiting album). | |
| Some Really Good Mono Recordings on Vinyl ? The early Dylan recordings are relatively high in sound quality (far better than The Beatles), perhaps because they were done so simply. A couple of mics, mic pre-amps, a mixer, and a 2-track-1/2" recorder, all tube of course. Those albums on ster... | |
| Mark Levinson - what have I bought? This is a microphone mixer, made for the Pro market, not home hi-fi. David Manley did the same, one studio I was in having a Manley mic pre-amp (tube, of course). | |
| Anyone Remember This One? The T-Bones were actually the group of L.A. studio musicians known as The Wrecking Crew. They played on the majority of Rock ’n’ Roll recordings made in L.A. in the 1960’s. Wrecking crew members included Leon Russell, Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Ea... | |

| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Yeah, but are the tube amps he rebuilds hi-fi amps, or guitar/bass amps? If hi-fi, are they Heathkit/Eico/Dynaco, or are they high end designs?

| Differences between Magnepan 1.6qr and 1.7i Another way to go is a pair of the new LRS and a couple (or even better quad) of subs. Though Steve Guttenberg continues to mischaracterize the smaller Maggies as ribbons, they are NOT. All the drivers in the sub-3.7 are magnetic-planar. You have ... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world @roberjerman, two fantastic Procol Harum albums! I saw them live in 1971 at the original Fillmore (on the Home album tour), and by that time the group's line-up had changed from that on those two albums. Gone was Matthew Fisher on organ (he create... |
