| On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em? So, LED's are a lot brighter than the Littlite? I have one of the latter above my RCM, and two between my three tables, and have never felt I needed more illumination. But then I like subdued lighting. Guess I'm a Beatnik ;-) . | |
| Any thoughts on the changes or changing Audio names/terms/meanings. LP's are now vinyl. No, vinyl is what your Grandmother had on her sofa in the front parlour. | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation @wolf_garcia, though I've seen a lot artists and bands that others here might more wish to have been able to see live (The Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, The Who w/Moon), it is Moby Grape I most regret having missed. A couple of old friends/bandmates sa... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies I became aware of PPT when reading about The Gate here on AG. Let me admit that it's $5000 price tag engorged my BS antennae. So testimonials to other PPT products, while much more modestly priced, were ignored by me.With recent comments about The... | |
| Iso Acoustics tweak for regarding P9 or probably any rega table @plastic, while not wanting to come off as contrary, the Machina Dynamica springs are only $50/4 (they can of course be placed under a bamboo board), the Townshend Pods around $300/4. The Pods come in a variety of load weight ratings, all about th... | |
| On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em? Littlite, the recording studio and pro sound standard. A small high intensity bulb on the end of an adjustable gooseneck, with a knob for adjusting the amount of illumination. Three different means of attaching the light's base onto any surface, i... | |
| Another Music Direct Catalog observation Amen, Wolf. In the singer/songwriter genre, there are contemporary artists as great as have ever lived, imo. You’ll never hear them on the radio or see them on TV (Letterman and The Larry Sanders Show often did, though), and certainly not on Award... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. Actually @tostadosunidos, the RG w/LW album opens with "Red Hot" (the old Billy Lee Riley song on Sun Records, produced of course by Sam Phillips). The album DOES feature great sound, courtesy of producer Richard Gottehrer (originally a Brill Buil... | |
| Iso Acoustics tweak for regarding P9 or probably any rega table @plastico, does that include the Townshend Audio Seismic Platforms or Pods? Or the Machina Dynamica Mini Isolators (springs) under the bamboo board?The IsoAcoustics feet (including the GAIA) all appear to be nothing more than just another rubber f... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great @uberwaltz! It’s been reissued a few times. Is the sealed copy on USA Columbia? Does it have the bonus 7" EP in a picture sleeve that was included with the first pressing? It’s Dave and Nick doing Everly Brothers songs, good versions. I have... | |
| Can Anyone Suggest A Good Amp Repair Tech In Colorado or anywhere for a Muse 160 MK II Give Tom Carione at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia, California a call. Brooks was a Muse dealer, and Tom did all Brooks' electronic work. | |
| Harry Nilsson Jellyfish wrote and recorded a song that sounded exactly as if Nilsson had written it (he had distinctive and characteristic chord sequences and melodic intervals he favored). I met Harry shortly before his passing, and told him about it. He told ... | |
| Which is the best audio magazine? @rongold, they don't. Advertisements. The low subscription price is to increase circulation, hence higher advertising rates. Feel used now? ;-) | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Brian Wilson: "God Only Knows" (heard on the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album), "Til I Die" (on their Surf's Up album). | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Beat: their debut, s/t album. The most exciting live Power Pop band I ever saw, including The Who. As good as The Kinks, very high praise. But The Kinks made a lot more great albums, didn't they ;-) . |
