| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Music Millennium it is, Keith! @cleeds, yep, I already sent Keith a note explaing that azimuth is a matter of the arm being canted to either the left or right when viewed from the front of the cartridge---the stylus being perfectly perpendicular t... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Plus @uberwaltz, even if a rack is isolated from the floor, the rack itself (and it's shelves) may be a source of vibration, feeding into a turntable, digital player, and/or tubes. Isolating each component is still a good idea. | |
| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Thanks Mike. I’ve been helping Keith with the arm and table (I just sold him the HW-19 Mk.2), moving the Moerch from an HW-19 Jr. onto the Mk.2. Since the cueing arm was working fine on the Jr., I assumed it doesn’t now because the Mk.2’s platter ... | |
| Audio Research LS 26 vs LS 28 Point well taken, and analogy to Mercedes apt. | |
| Gold Lion KT88's Upgrade RAM Tube Works offers Gold Lion KT88's in sets matched as close as humanly possible, and comprised of the best examples of the tube. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Referring to LP's as vinyl plays right into the argument that their current popularity is a fad. Come on, man, vinyl is what your great-grandmother had on her sofa, your great-grandfather on his car's bench seats. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 "the 57’s need a fair bit of SS power"?! The 57 was designed to be run with the QUAD amp, which produced 15 watts/ch. One solid state amp which became very popular with the 57 was the Bedini 25/25 (guess how much power it produced ;-), which was c... | |
| Audio Research LS 26 vs LS 28 Man you ARC guys are loyal! If I was gonna spend that much dough on a pre, I'd also look at the Atma-Sphere MP-1, EAR-Yoshino 912, etc. Why limit yourself to ARC? | |
| Tune of the Day Damn, I spoke too soon. I'm now listening to "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)", a fantastic song written by Ben Vaughn, now better known as a producer. If you have yet to hear Marshall, rectify that situation! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? A Collection by Marshall Crenshaw. It’s a promo-only CD from the 90’s, an overview of his career up to the time of it’s release. Marshall is a triple threat---an excellent songwriter, singer, and guitarist, with great taste in sidemen.I saw Marsha... | |
| Tune of the Day "Don’t Disappear Now" by Marshall Crenshaw, off his Life’s Too Short album. Great production by Ed Stasium, a killer guitar riff (doubled by Marshall on a 6-string baritone guitar. Love it!), great song chord progression and melody, muscular drumm... | |
| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? No t_e_p, I was led to AVC by an Audiogoner who showed their platforms in his Virtual System pics. I’m a fan of Baltic Birch, so what’s not to like? ;-) However, I have sent two emails to AVC, neither of which has elicited a response. Not a good s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Mike, I was in attendance at that Hendrix show at Winterland in '68, and believe it or not he was better in '67! Both times he had the original Experience band, but in '67 he and they were on fire (no pun intended ;-). In '68, Jimi seemed somewhat... | |
| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? @dmk_calgary, this coming week I am taking a 4’ x 8’ x 3/4" sheet of 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood to a cabinet maker and having him rip it into various-sized pieces (22 x 16, 18 x 15, and 16 x 12). I will then make platforms, some comprised of 1/2"... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, do you have Fogerty’s first solo album, put out under the name The Blue Ridge Rangers? I love it, but be forewarned---it is VERY Hillbilly/Hard Country. I also like his second, the s/t album on Asylum Records. It includes "Almost Saturday N... |
