| best vocal harmonies in rock Has anyone mentioned The Mamas & Papas? I take them for granted until one of their songs comes on the radio. They were REALLY good! | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238, Did I make the case for a suspended plinth not being a good fit with a linear tracker? I saw Brooks Berdan mount and use the ET on many Oracle and SOTA tables, both having fairly "soft" suspensions. When the VPI TNT was introduced, he... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Yeah @atmasphere, for pre-amp applications, Roger had a hard-on for the 6DJ8 (used in his RM-5 and the Audible Illusions Modulus 2 & 3). He was a man of "firm" opinions. ;-) | |

I made an exception for the First Watt B4, which was not offered in black. More recently, I made an exception for the EAR-Yoshino 868 pre-amp, available onl... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? Today I just happened to again watch Roger Modjeski’s talk at the 2018 Burning Amp Festival. In that talk, he discusses, amongst many other topics (always coming back to the seminal RCA tube manuals), pre-amp tubes (though he was much more interes... | |
| Vinyl News @lowrider57, hmm, I took the line "So unbelievably clueless" to be referring not to Fremer, but to the writer of the NYT article. I could be the mistaken one. | |
| NYT on Electric Recording Co. vinyl R. Crumb prefers 78's. Have all ya'll seen the documentary done on him, "Crumb"? Very entertaining. | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics There is currently a genuine VPI ring on USAM, asking price $500. | |
