| 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... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Well thanks, GK! | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! The last thing I won was a full-expense paid trip for two to Austin, after my ticket stub at a Junior Brown show at The Lava Lounge in L.A. was pulled out of the lottery hat. Air fare, two nights at the historic Driskill Hotel in Downtown Austin (... | |
| TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath? @dmk_calgary, one layer of ASC WallDamp is all that is required, or even desired. You want it’s two sides to be in direct contact with both surfaces it is damping. ASC says WD need cover only a portion of the two surfaces; I think they told me som... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Why, with a set of Machina Dynamica Super Stiff Springs, of course. Which I myself have just received . | |
| Speaker Spikes and related items.... @dmk_hifi, the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods are available in different weight capacity versions (4-8lbs, 8-16, 16-32, 32-64, 64-132 each), yet all retail for the same amount. More economically-priced mass-on-spring isolators are available from Mac... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Au contraire, @slaw! Vic made a run with the longest silver assembly he had left, but it's just long enough to reach from the table to the phono anp, which I place bassackwards right behind the table. A sent him a pair of KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! tep, shoot an email to John at selecthi-fi on ebay. He'll give you "best price" on all things Townshend. | |
| The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted Oops, right you are @ghastly. Another thing I should have said is that California, like any and all other States, is comprised primarily of lots and lots of families---mothers, fathers, and children, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles... | |
| The Music Room is Hiring - Audio Repair Tech Wanted I don’t know about Colorado, but California has a great many different communities. Orange County is very conservative, Reagan/Nixon country. Silicon Valley (San Jose, Cupertino---where I grew up) is very high-tech, of course. Southern California ... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! @three_easy_payments, look into the Townshend Audio Seismic Corners, which are designed to be used under the four legs of a stand, to decouple it from the floor. | |
| VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms A fair number of VPI arm owners have added the optional Dual Pivot. Me, I tried a unipivot arm in the 1970’s and hated it. I tried another in the 80’s and hated it too. |
