| 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... | |
| Sweethearts of the rodeo tour Marty is coming to Washington, but opening for Steve Miller.@pehare, Clarence getting hit by a car and dying was SUCH a tragedy. What a waste. I've performed a lot of CH-era Byrds songs in bands, especially their version of Dylan's "You Ain't Goin... | |
| 1973 '73 was the year I bought my first "big" system: Magneplanar Tympani T-I loudspeakers, ARC electronics, Thorens/SME/Decca record player, Revox A77. My dealer was Walter Davies, now known for his excellent LAST record, tape, and CD maintenance prod... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Liz, baby, to not wash a used LP is like to deep kiss a stranger: you don’t know where that mouth/LP has been ;-) . The Record Doctor RCM can be had for only $199. | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan @cleeds, richopp is obviously unaware that were both tall and/or boxless speakers long before Magnepan introduced it’s original model the Tympani T-I in the early-70’s (which I bought in ’73. I currently have a pair of T-IVa), including the 6’ tal... | |
| Does anybody change their speaker placement with different types of music and bands? I'll bet Michael Green does. | |
| It was 50 years ago today... I still marvel at the fact that a mere one year after A Hard Day's Night was in the theaters, and the same year as Help! was playing, The Grateful Dead (still known as The Warlocks) were playing their first shows in the Bay Area, their very first ... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Since he likes nicknames so much Tim, turnabout is fair play ;-) . | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Uncle Tupelo and The Replacements, the two most influential bands of their generation. Tupelo, like Big Star and The Jayhawks, had two songwriter/singers who each needed their own band. For some reason Lennon & McCartney could mind-meld where ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados So true, @schubert. For the most mind-blowing counterpoint you've ever heard, give a listen to JSB's Concerto For 4 Harpsichords And Orchestra. Don't listen while operating heavy machinery, as you WILL get high. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps Both Tim deParavicini and Roger Modjeski are students of transformer design, a dying art. And both are, though as audiophile-centric as any other designers out there, old school in many ways (the higher the measured distortion, output impedance, p... |
