| Glue choices for making the Garrard 301 plinth Titebond's Genuine Hide Glue would be an excellent choice. Hide glues are "stiffer" and harder than are "regular" glues, which exhibit a little "give". I used hide glue when I was working in a cabinet shop, the glue made by pouring dry hide powder... | |
| Help ! Rather than give the CD's to The Salvation Army or Goodwill, offer them to Audiogoner's willing to pay to ship them. I'll bet there are plenty of guys who would love to acquire the fruits of your musical wisdom, schubert! | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s @gammonit_2000: BS? On whose part? Have you bothered going to The Planar Speaker Asylum and reading Wendell’s quote for yourself? If you don’t believe it, you can give Magnepan a call and ask them. I don’t know if you can get Wendell himself on th... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Another term JGH used (as did I believe Dick Olsher, his protégé) was Perfectionist Audio. That term suggests the goal (the perfect reproduction of musical recordings, unachievable of course), regardless of the price it takes to get there.HP and h... | |
| Hi, I have several black lacker box set, THAT ARE DAMAGED. some just need touch up ? carp, the op isn't looking for black lacquer paint, he's looking for black lacker. I think I may know why he's not having any luck. ;-) | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? In the 1960’s, the home of everyone I knew had a console TV/radio/record player. That’s what all we kids played our 7" 45’s and LP’s on. In the summer of ’68, I heard my first component system: a good friend, who had left San Jose in the fall of ’... | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s Because of the limited bass output of the LRS, Magnepan has been asked for their opinion on the subject of adding a subwoofer or two to the loudspeaker. In a post today on The Planar Speaker Asylum, Wendell Diller's PSA spokesperson Josh related t... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? @bpoletti, nice to see the Aries get it’s props! Nice simplified version of the overly complicated TNT (the various suspension towers, the 3-point belt path, the dual motors, etc. etc.), easily improved with after-market isolation feet (I use Town... | |
| Free Lead Shot in Portland, OR (125 lbs) Man, those are some nice racks Simon! I see the drawers are made of Baltic Birch ply. Beautiful stuff. Somebody local jump on 'em! | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! J. Gordon Holt himself found the term objectionable, preferring to use High Performance. What I did not yet know when I saw the term in the early issues of The Absolute Sound, was that the term was already in use in other types of consumer goods--... | |
| First Post- what not to do Don’t let your maid---I mean cleaning woman, or housekeeper, or whatever you call yours (I've never had one)---dust your turntable. | |
| Rolling stones 100 greatest 100 albums? A couple of them are not half-bad. | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? EAR-Yoshino's Tim deParavicini designed many of the Luxman integrated amps. Good stuff. | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Amen, brother! Harry Pearson introduced the term into hi-fi criticism, and it just reeks of elitism and snobbishness. If there were a dictionary of hi-fi terms, there would be a picture of Jonathan Scull next to the term. ;-) | |
