| Favorite band or artist of all time? There have been a lot of bands with all white musicians except for the black drummer. The Family (Sly Stone's band) were unique in being an all-black band with the exception of their white drummer! Great band. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @terry9---say, what pump do you use with your Terminator? Have you also incorporated a "surge" tank? Just a regular ol' 1 gallon plastic jug? I'm about to mount my Terminator (which I had Vic fit with the last of his silver wire, straight to a pai... | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question As stiff an armtube as possible benefits ALL cartridges, but the Decca/Londons, having no rubber damping suspension (and no traditional cantilever; the stylus is attached to a V-shaped metal plate, which goes straight up into the cartridge) benefi... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ieales, thanks for finding the exact Forum to which I was referring. My six month estimate turns out to have actually been almost a year! | |
| Brand New Warped albums! @slaw, if it's not asking too much, I would love to hear your tips on using the Vinyl Flat (and Groovy Pouch, if you also have that). | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question @noromance, you make a good point. A heavier counterweight closer to the bearings can produce the same effective mass as a lighter one further away, plus create less moment-of-inertia, a good thing say engineers (I take their word for it ;-). The ... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? @ks2, you're new here. Geoffkait delights in taunting others. | |
| KEF for Near-field? What distance is considered the dividing line between nearfield and non-nearfield? Nearfield about 6' and less, non-nearfield greater than 6'? | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question The Decca/London is tricky because its’ lateral and vertical compliances are very different, the lateral being about 50% higher than the vertical. Schizophrenic! Of course, the effective (moving) mass of all arms is partially determined by the dis... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. The talk I saw about the DIY kit version of the First watt B4 was maybe six months ago, on a Nelson Pass-related DIY Forum site. I’ve been looking through all my folders, but have yet to find it. I’ll keep looking, but a call to Pass Labs may get ... | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? It could be the over 2 dozen fuse replacements of which chazro was speaking have been in all his pieces, not just the RM-9. | |
| Can we hear from those who essentially repurchased previous system? I myself have not done this, but more than a few have tired of the limitations of the original Quad ESL loudspeaker, bought another design free of that limitation, then another, ending up coming back to the Quad. Within its' limitations, it remain... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect The percentage argument is a common one, but ignores an important issue. A $100 cable is 10 times the price of a $10 one, the dollar amount of that difference being $90. A $1,000 cable is also 10 times the price of a $100 one, but the dollar amoun... | |
| Is there a Northern and Southern California Sound Brooks’ son Brian (who ran Brooks Berdan Ltd. as Brooks’ health declined) now has his own shop, Audio Elements, in nearby Pasadena. Audiogon contributor folkfreak (who has had me over at his place in Portland to hear his super-fine system) has bee... | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question Some people claim the Decca/London design doesn't like the knife-edge style bearings of SME arms. If you can get your hands on a Zeta at a reasonable price (under a grand), snap it up! Johnnie at Audio Origami knows all about the arm, and has rest... |
