| Vintage MC-75 restoration If you're on the West Coast, Tom Carione at Brooks Berdan, Ltd. in Monrovia California is an excellent tech and knows McIntosh amps well (BBL is an authorized dealer). If you're in the East, the crew at Audio Classics in Vestal New York are long-t... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner A cleaning solution that is alcohol free, for those who prefer, is Torumat TM-8. Sheila Berdan and Joe Knight at Brooks Berdan, Ltd. in Monrovia California have started Groovy Hi-Fi Solutions to make and market it. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Is it just me, or does anyone else find the notion of a seller of "especially good" pressings of LP's having actually listened to multiple pressings of every title he sells, found the one (or ones) that sound "especially good", does that sound not... | |
| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone When I’m in a small club, with no mics on the drumset or guitar/bass amps---just the vocal mics, yes, the location of each instrument is very concrete. But what does that have to do with reproducing the imaging contained in any given recording? No... | |
| GIK Acoustics summer contest! So Mike, how do you like the Gridfusor? | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Excellent, thanks Duke. If you care to, would you expand on your recommendation of introducing a 90 degree phase difference between left and right subs? That's a new one on me!---Eric. | |
| DIction in choral music @v7b9b13 (catchy ;-): I can't answer your question, but let me direct you towards a group of LP's containing choral (and other) music recorded in really great sound. They are on the Ark label out of the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, recorded by Rob... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I have to sell a couple of my vintage drumsets before I can buy a Degritter. Audiogon member Simon (folkfreak) invited me over to his place in NE Portland to hear his system (and quite a system it is!), and while I was there he cleaned an LP I bro... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Duke, here's a simple question for ya: is for the subs to be wired/operated in mono mandatory in a swarm sub system? In other words, does the swarm not "work" (reduce/minimize bass peaks and nulls in the room) if the subs are run stereo? Or is it ... | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S I hear ya, @viridian. The NY-recorded version of BOTT came out on LP this past Record Store Day, and it really makes you question Dylan's judgment. Who knows what he is listening for.A similar thing transpired with Lennon's "comeback" album Starti... | |
| KLAudio is stopping production of their Ultrasonic record cleaner. As far as I know, Fremer has yet to do an in-depth evaluation of the Degritter. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, there is a Manfred Mann album from their "Chapter 3" era that I really like. It came out in the late-60's, on the Vertigo label (catalog no. VO 3), and the sound is way above average. The music is in a sort of Jazz-Progressive style, which ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dial ’W’ For Watkins, by Geraint Watkins. Geraint is THE keyboard player in the Roots/Blues/Rockabilly/Hillbilly scene in the UK, and has worked in the bands of both Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (I’ve seen Geraint live quite a few times), amongst ma... | |
