| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Very understandable, Keith. In the "old days" azimuth was used in regard to the headshell/cartridge being parallel with the turntable platter/LP, as viewed from the front of the arm. But then people realized that that having been achieved did not ... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. Damn, another show on TV I missed. I gotta start payin' attention! I just checked out of my library the first season of "Nashville" on DVD, which I missed as well. I hear Buddy Miller and some other greats are on it. | |
| Perhaps not esoteric or "fringe" but the Chester and Lester album can bring pleasure Chet Atkins was a major influence on George Harrison, Les Paul on many great guitarists, including and especially Jeff Beck. Atkins also did an album with Mark Knopfler entitled Neck And Neck. | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Recording engineer Barry Diament has each of his 6' tall Magnepan 3.7i's on a 24" x 24" pieces of plywood, under which he put a set of three roller bearings. | |
| 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... |
