| If you could bring back one great artist that has Beethoven is a very "masculine" composer. His music is unusually muscular, if you know what I mean. Bach's music sounds like it came from a source above the plane of humans imo. I sometimes feel like I am in the presence of that source while liste... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has It does roxy54, and I don’t disagree. I was in a band with a real fine bassist who really didn’t like Baroque music, but loved 19th and 20th Century stuff (Beethoven, Wagner). JSB to him sounded too mechanical, too stiff and regimented. I can see ... | |
| Drum throne suggestions I've been sitting on a Rok-n-Soc throne (the originator of the "bike seat" style) for over 25 years. Extremely comfortable, even when playing four sets a night. Very well made (I'm still on my original), lots of models and features to choose from.... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Not meaning to be argumentative, but "J.S. Bach is better than all mentioned put together" is not just "one man's narrow minded opinion." There are a great many other composers who shared that same narrow-minded opinion, as do a fair number of oth... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Tim, I said the RM-200 is "really nothing special"? Au contraire! There is much more to the amp than what I wrote above, as a reading of the review by Fremer and Atkinson in Stereophile will illuminate. The "sales pitch" crack was made in referenc... | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education lewm, it was on the VPI Forum (as well as others) that Carlin voiced his opinion of the superiority of DC motors over AC ones in turntable applications, and he was also brutally honest in his critique of the Hurst AC motor VPI installs in their ta... | |
| CCR Woodstock 50 yrs Double LP Believe it or not I’ve never watched the whole movie (most of the bands/artists are not to my taste. The Band wouldn’t sign-off on any song from their set being included in the movie or soundtrack. By the way, though all the performers were asked ... | |
| Room setup Partly because of the cement slab foundation? That's assuming the floor of the house is a suspended wood structure. | |
| LP12- Power Supply- Need education @lewm, lots of other tables have had their motors mounted on a stationary platform and their platters suspended: the Acoustic Research, Thorens 125/150/etc, Oracle, VPI HW-19, and of course the Linn Sondek itself. Did the old Sapphire have the slo... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps @fleschler, the RM-200 Mk.2 is an unusual tube amp, not behaving like a "normal" one. It has a lower-than-usual output impedance for a tube design (John Atkinson’s bench test results included in Fremer’s review of the amp), so interacts less with ... | |
| PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up The same problem exists on U.S. AudioMart. Every single payment made to me via Paypal "through" the USAM system in the past month has immediately been cancelled. USAM and Paypal each blame the other. | |

| Need compact end of life audio system to shoehorn into a corner of a compact living space That "end of life" phrase is really disturbing! I myself am of an age to which the phrase can (and is) used appropriately, and I don't like hearing it ;-) . | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw, if you don't already have it, consider getting the s/t first Crazy Horse album from 1971. Danny Whitten was still alive and in the band, as was Jack Nitzsche (he was hired by Neil Young for the Harvest album, and stayed on for a while), who... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution The Rythmik F12-300 Servo-Feedback Subwoofer is currently on sale for $700 shipped. That's of course $2800 for four, but if you buy more than one at a time, I believe you get a 10% discount on your order. Each sub has it's own 300 watt amp, and co... |
