| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright This is what "High End" is all about! What a pleasure to be able to deal directly with the designer and builder of your hi-fi equipment. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @wcfeil---Ha! Yeah, imagine 8 or 10 feet of such precious wire. I'll take a pair of Shotgun, doubled for twice the goodness. | |
| Tone arm counter weight @audiosens, I put a black Groovetracer on my RB300. It looked like it came with the arm! I bought my counterweight before the end stub was available. The counterweight in no way interferes with or disables the arms spring-loaded VTF adjuster. I so... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @mitchagain, great stuff! The 1st and 2nd Graham Parker albums feature the playing of a couple members of Brinsley Schwartz (the band), including Brinsley himself. Speaking of that band, Nick Lowe, himself a member, said they were trying to sound ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Seeing the Angel Iris Dement receive the recognition she SO deserves gladdens my heart. Another well-kept secret is a singer of a very different sort---Lou Ann Barton. She has a few albums spread out over many years, but Old Enough, produced by Gl... | |
| Tune of the Day "Reconsider Baby" by Lowell Fulson. Listen to it to hear where Jimmie Vaughan got his style, and to hear the kind of laid-back deep-groove that very, very few white Blues bands are able to produce. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. "Musicality" is one of those oh-so-subjective terms with no agreed-upon meaning. But the same can be said about the incomplete sentence by khiak above ;-) . The "can" implies it is a question, but the "changes" negates that. Should the sentence re... | |
| Speakers for a small room Eminent Technology LFT-16A, $1250/pr. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Cool @boxer12, I love Don Dixon (and his wife Marti Jones), and haven't heard from him in quite a while. He's a very talented guy---songwriter, singer, producer, multi-instrumentalist. | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? George, I've never heard (or even seen) a plasma tweeter, so an ESL or ribbon driven by tubes is as good as I've heard. Transparent, grain-free purity, but only if the amp is capable of producing high frequencies at low distortion. As the OP has l... | |
| Buying my 1st new LP in 42 years..Suggestions? Anything on the Water Lily label. A Meeting By The River (with Ry Cooder) is fantastic, both sonically and musically. | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? As Ralph Karsten (atmasphere) has been saying, distortion is perceived as tonality. Less high frequency distortion = less brightness. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... Grisman and Jerry Garcia had a Bluegrass group in the early-mid-70's named Old & In The Way, and their debut album was put out on audiophile label Acoustic Disc. It sounds fantastic!Rounder Records is known for their excellent sounding albums,... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Wolf, I drove to Austin with my bass player partner in 2008, to see what the housing market was like. We were thinking of moving there and hiring ourselves out as a rhythm section (but ended up not doing it). We checked into a fleabag motel and we... | |
| Your first component that was "special" @brettmcee, I lived in Burbank for years (over by the NBC studios. Have you eaten at Don Cuco's Mexican restaurant, right around the corner from Bob's Big Boy?), and found Tom Carione to be an excellent tech. He's at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia... |
