| Telefunken Tube Information Sources? Great, thanks. I've seen Brent's name mentioned often as one of the couple of best sellers of vintage and rare tubes, glad he also provides knowledgeable info on them. | |
| Tune of the Day "Come On" by Lucindy, off her fantastic West album. I do believe it's the best put-down song I’ve ever heard. "Where Is My Love", a very sweet-natured song, follows. Not many can do that. I am deeply, madly in love with her. | |
| Acoustic treatment @karl77, I use those pads to damp the high-frequency ring of my drum heads. ;-) Makes 'em sound like Levon Helm's, low and "thumpy". | |
| Is there a really great MM only solid state Phone Preamp? Check out the Liberty Audio B2B-1. Fremer liked it a lot (very dynamic, great bass), and Atkinson raved about it’s measured performance, including the amps’ very accurate RIAA tracking and its’ overload margin, the largest he has ever seen! I’m th... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... Yes George, and we all owe Ralph Karsten a debt of gratitude for bringing to our attention (mine anyway) the matter of the AES standard for balanced connections---which wires get soldered to which XLR pins. Of course, if your "balanced" output is ... | |
| Acoustic treatment Pretty high profit margin! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? For those wondering why @730waters put "Pre Ramones" after his listings of the Dust albums, second Ramones drummer Markey was a member of that Progressive band. | |
| Acoustic treatment That reflective "membrane" in the Room Tune is the foil side of the fiberglass insulation. High tech! ;-) | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER My first serious table was a Thorens TD-125 Mk.2, and back then (in the early-mid 70's) no one bought one with the arm Thorens offered for it. I had an SME 3009 Mk.2 Improved mounted on mine, as did many others. | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... Right you are George, but some power amps (for instance my Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2) have (true) balanced inputs (created by Modjeski with discrete components, no opamps or transformers. He's a very clever designer) only, and some pre-amps have... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Damn @boxer12, I missed that one! I looked up Blue Country Heart, and saw that Jorma has a bunch of my fave musicians on the album: Jerry Douglas (musicians don't come any better than Jerry. I saw he and his band last year in a small theater in Po... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! Oops, right you are @rel. How embarrassing! | |
| Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time? Zeta on a Townshend Rock Elite, fitted with a London Super Gold. | |
| I Recapped my Conrad Johnson PFR. Wow! Some of the best $$$ I've spent Ask any tube amp designer/maker about any of his products which have been damaged by well-meaning modifiers who didn’t understand why certain parts were used in his product, and who replaced parts chosen for a specific reason with inappropriate pa... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Just as my LP's won't work in my CD player, my reel-to-reel tapes won't work in my cassette player. |
