| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Modjeski designed, made, and sold modestly-priced speaker cables (he stopped including a power cord with his amps, saying everyone already has a spare computer cord that would do the job ;-) , and Keith Herron makes interconnects. I'm going to go ... | |
| Favorite Recordings Featuring Odd Selections of Musical Instruments. I love the sound of the harpsichord, an instrument rarely heard live (unless you own one ;-). I love Trevor Pinnock's CRD label (UK) recordings of Baroque compositions written for the instrument. Great works, playing, and recorded sound quality.Va... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I guess Nelson's designs sounding great is just the product of blind luck, not knowledge and wisdom (knowing what's important). I'm reminded of the old expression: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.It's a shame so many with superior listen... | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion I must be the only guy my age who never owned a pair of bell bottoms. You know how everybody now thinks they look silly? I did when everyone was wearing them. Well, on guys anyway. A pair of hip-hugger bell bottoms on a shapely lass? Now THAT’S a ... | |
| SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass? Though 3 points do indeed define a plane, springs don’t care about that. They are more concerned with mass stabilization. I have found 4 springs to in general be much more stable than 3. | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics Well then, if the Wayne's ring doesn't use the platter edge to secure it in place (as does the VPI), there is nothing to keep it from sliding around on an 11.5" platter when the latter is spinning, which is just what the OP discovered. Sounds like... | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics Though it is a buyers responsibility to insure the ring fits his particular platter (as brf---the main man on the VPI Forum---said, VPI has made platters in both 11.5" and 12" diameters), shouldn’t the maker of the ring---designed especially for V... | |
| Religious music for less than devout While T Bone Burnett’s music and lyrics are not overtly Christian, he’s a believer. He was a member of the church Dylan started attending during his conversion, the church where the two met, I believe. T Bone was a member of Dylan’s Rolling Thunde... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Some people (including the late Brooks Berdan, I believe) found the moving mass of the ET could have a substantial effect upon tables with a low mass floating sub-chassis, a very soft suspension, or both. As the arm moved across the LP, the center... | |
| Religious music for less than devout @213runnin, and Buddy's recordings (he converted the couple's Nashville home's front parlour into a studio, and records there. When Julie isn't feeling well, he runs a mic upstairs and records her in bed!) have a very unique, "alive" sound. Someti... | |
| Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection? @awilson0601, you don’t want to get the doors for the EKET cube. For one thing, they won’t close all the way---LP’s come to within 1/2" of the front edge of the shelves. Plus, the hinges stick out into the cube, and block access behind them. LP’s ... | |
| Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers. Keith Herron offers his faceplates in a great gunmetal gray color. | |
| Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable I have had two unipivots, and they suck! Except the Graham. Art Dudley loved the Naim. | |
| Religious music for less than devout Before Buddy & Julie Miller were recording and performing together, Julie had a career as a Contemporary Christian artist. I have her Meet Julie Miller album on the Myrrll label.Iris Dement was raised in a Pentecostal home, and her albums are ... | |
