| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: What happened to all the cables Robert Fulton made? He was the pioneer in the field. | |
| MNPCTech footers? Keith, the GAIA are indeed listed on Amazon for $189, and B&M stores are selling them for $199. They were developed to be used as feet for loudspeakers, in place of the stock feet (if any) or spikes. But they are also appropriate for turntable... | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? "Speak of the Devil and he will appear". Upon going into New Listings this afternoon, I quickly saw a set of four BDR 2-3/4" Pucks, exactly what I have been intent, as previously stated, on obtaining. The asking price was $120 shipped, but my offe... | |
| MNPCTech footers? Keith, the GAIA III is not at all complicated externally (internally is a different story, but you needn’t concern yourself with that ;-). It is just a circular metal foot 1-1/2" tall by 1-3/4" in diameter, and will fit into the spring cavity in t... | |
| MNPCTech footers? With the HW-19, more important than the feet on the wooden base are whatever is being used to isolate the floating sub-chassis from that base. Common replacements for the stock spring suspension are Herbies Tall Firm Tenderfeet and SIMS Navcom Sil... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp In his Positive Feedback review of the EAR-Yoshino 868L line stage pre, the reviewer made the statement that, though the 868 provides XLR jacks for balanced operation, the pre-amp circuitry itself is single-ended. Designer Tim deParavicini in his ... | |
| Glass or MDF Shelves Buy a sheet of 1/2" 9-ply Baltic Birch plywood, have it cut into shelf-side pieces. Put constrained-layer damping between pairs of the shelves, apply Minwax Clear Satin Polyurethane (beautiful!), and install. Better than anything you can buy, easy... | |
| Favorite Collaborations Oh man, great one roberjerman! Others include Chuck Berry and Johnnie Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Little Walter (damn!), Little Richard and Earl Palmer (vicious Rock ’n’ Roll!), Roger Hawkins and David Hood/Levon Helm and Rick Danko/A... | |
| If You Had the $$$ to Piece Together Your Dream System What Would It Consist Of? Like European Royalty of yore, my own in-house Baroque Orchestra, alternating sets with The Dave Edmunds Band (brought out of retirement).On their day off, I’ll listen to recordings through big SoundLab ESL’s and Magnepan MG30.7’s, both augmented ... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs @pwhinson, if cost is no object, and your 20.7’s give you enough output in the bottom octave (20-40Hz), look into the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer. IAR’s Peter Moncrieff has characterized the TRW-17 as the world’s only true "subwoofer",... | |
| Favorite Collaborations @boxer12, I’m disappointed in myself for not going to The San Jose Civic Auditorium on the night in the fall of ’65 that Bob & The Hawks performed live ;-) . I know a couple of guys who did, and I’m SO envious. To think they were at that point... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Quentin's use of specific songs in scenes in the movie is evidence of his deep familiarity with Pop music from the 50's onward. Particularly cool is the scene in which DiCaprio's character makes an appearance on a TV show, Tarantino having him sin... | |
| Favorite Collaborations Oh roberjerman, if THAT’S the premise:- Sam Philips and Elvis Presley.- Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe in Rockpile.- Dave Edmunds and The Flamin’ Groovies, for The Groovies classic Shake Some Action album.- Dave Edmunds and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? I saw Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood this afternoon, and, as always with his movies, the soundtrack is fantastic! So is the movie. | |
| Favorite Collaborations In the mid-80’s I saw & heard The Blasters back Big Joe Turner live at Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Dave Alvin was of course at that time still in the band, as was the legendary Lee Allen, tenor sax player on all Little Richard’... |
