| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release If that's the case @tzh21y, the least you can do is spell Jimi's name correctly. ;-)I saw and heard him/them live twice, and while I know a few guys my age who still like his/their music, to me and many of my contemporaries it sounds pretty dated.... | |

| Turntable Advice? @lewm, and then there is the matter of a TNT (or Aries, or any other VPI as far as I know) with the Eclipse package installed in place of the stock Hurst AC motor. Bill Carlin was talking on the VPI Forum a few years back about the need for a bett... | |

| Mapleshade or Butcher Block Acoustics A sheet of 19mm 13-ply Baltic Birch in the standard 5’ x 5’ size will cost one less than $100. It may then be cut into shelves of any dimensions desired. Each of the 13 layers is alternated 90 degrees relative to those on either side. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I saw The Music Machine live in ’66, and they were really "tough". When I moved to L.A, in ’79, the first place I visited was Forest Lawn Cemetery, to pay my respects to Bobby Fuller (if you do the same, he is listed under his given name, Robert).... | |
| Anyone compared Sanders Magtech vs. McIntosh MC462/52 or MC611/01 with Magnepan 3.7/20.7? @jimmy_jet, your post brings up a few different matters:1- The Fletcher Munson Curve Erik alluded to (Google it for info).2- The power requirements of the MG3.7i. Highly dependent upon room size and acoustic properties (diffusion preferable to abs... | |
| Turntable Advice? @lewm, nope, the new Eclipse package is described on the SOTA website as "a low-vibration 3-phase brushless DC motor paired with a state of the art motor controller developed by Phoenix Engineering, known as the Condor." The Eclipse package retail... | |
| Turntable Advice? @keegiam, your worn-out motor provides you with the perfect excuse to spring for the new SOTA 3-phase DC motor, along with the Phoenix Engineering-designed motor controller made expressly for it, and the Roadrunner tach. |
