| Top ten American composers/songwriters Oops, Nick Lowe, like Tillbrook & Difford, is English. He was married to Carlene Carter for awhile (who hasn't been?), if that counts.By the way, Brian Wilson's favorite American (and perhaps universal) composer is Gershwin. He recorded a trib... | |
| Orosonic/Monster Cable Reflex Record Clamp If you insist on a clamp, the BDR was a good one. Two versions were made---a 1-piece, and a 2. They come up for sale occasionally, going for $100-$150. | |
| Why not underhung voice coil? Amen w_g, led on by America's cheerleader-in-chief. We're still waiting on those testing kits, without which we don't know where we are. Hope I don't regret this. | |
| Listening Room Dimensions... I'm building one and need your help Give Art Noxon at ASC a call. He'll work with you all the way through the build. I've been in a room constructed using his wall products (that of Audiogoner folkfreak), and it was incredible. | |
| Futterman H3a OTL amp for sale seen on on eBay! I'd love to have it, but the seller won't ship---local (NYC) sales only. | |
| Who are your favorite A'gon posters? @wolf_garcia, in his column in the great PS Audio emag Copper Magazine, Roy Hall last year wrote he considers Pliny The Elder, an IPA by Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, CA, the best beer ever made. I'm trying to locate some locally. | |
| Who are your favorite A'gon posters? Steve, you neglected to mention I'm good in bed. Would a wink emojie make that funnier, or less so? I think I use it too much. The only people who would need the help are those who think I was serious, and who cares about them? ;-) Hey, I just got... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? A second for some of the GR Research models, the Super V if you can find a pair. It is comprised of a coaxial mid/tweeter and the remarkable OB/Dipole woofer. | |
| John Prine, may he rest in peace. A very close friend and collaborator of John's---Iris Dement---spoke of John when I saw her in February, telling a few funny stories that included him. There are some You Tube videos of the two performing together for those interested. They remind... | |
| John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19 And on the same day, Hal Willner. | |
| Damping between shelves and sandbox Check out the constrained layer damping product offered by ASC (the Tube Trap company), named Wall Damp. It's just what you're looking for. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report I don't recall if I have previously mentioned this album (note: "album" is not synonymous "LP". An album may be on either, as well as tape), but if so it bears repeating:"The Notorious Cherry Bombs" by the group of the same name. A supergroup comp... | |
| Herron VTSP-2a vs EAR 324 @dhcod: Say, have you tried 5751 tubes in place of the stock 12AX7's in your Herron? They're interchangeable, 5751's just providing less gain than 12AX7's. Deccas hardly need the extra gain, and the 5751 may afford a greater overload margin. Frank... | |
| I sure miss my Quad ‘57s! Two of the ESL's major limitations---low bass and maximum SPL capability, now have a common solution (okay, not complete, but significant): the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Subwoofer.The ESL has long been known to be impossible to integrate with ... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA footers: impressions I first learned of the GAIA from VPI's Harry Weisfeld, who found them to provide a noticeable improvement to the sound of his KEF Blade loudspeakers. Some VPI turntable owners have posted on the VPI Forum their positive findings of the improvement... |
