| Your Favorite Holiday Album I have the On Yoolis Night, Jim, but haven't yet played it. I've never heard a bad, or even mediocre, Harmonia Mundi album. My favorite Classical label. | |
| Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In? @rodman99999 , Roger Modjeski received one of his Music Reference RM-9 amplifiers back for repair. Every stock fuse in the amp had been replaced by the amp’s owner with a Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse. Roger checked out the amp, discovered what had happened, ... | |
| technics 1200G tonearm effective mass 12 grams? Of course @chakster, I was speaking of how to make the Technics 1200G's arm a better match for the op's low-compliance mc('s), if that's what he might be interested in. | |
| Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In? If you install a Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse in a DC circuit of your tube power amplifier, you may end up "burning in" your entire amp ;-) . | |
| Your Favorite Holiday Album My long time favorite is A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector, which contains the fantastic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry, and Spector, and sung by the great Darlene Love, one of my favorite fema... | |

| Tune of the Day The Dwight Twilley Band: "I'm On Fire". Band members Phil Seymour (drums and vocals) and Bill Pitcock IV (guitar) are gone, but the music they made with Dwight will live forever. Timeless, brilliant Rock 'n' Roll of the highest order, it just does... | |
| technics 1200G tonearm effective mass 12 grams? It's not hard to add mass to an arm, if you like that arm in all other respects. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists @slaw, I’ve always loved that quote, but I don’t know it’s origin. It may have come from one of the Blues shouters, perhaps Big Joe Turner himself. I got to see & hear Joe live, shortly before his death in ’85. It was at Club Lingerie on Sunse... | |
| Repair repair vendor will not respond Not I ;-) . | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, that drum on "Built To Last" sounds like what you think it is, what’s called a concert bass drum. The same drum in a shallower depth (drumhead-to-drumhead) is played in marching bands at football games, and is then referred to as a marching... | |
| what 12 lps would you like to see reissued that will never see the light of day again? I can't think of any oop (out-of-print) LP's that I'm jonesin' for, but a lot of albums released in the 90's were done so only on CD. There are quite a few of them I would like to finally see on LP. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent and @slaw, one era of the Manfred Mann history that is little known is that of the Chapter Three years. They made two albums for Vertigo UK, one in ’69 the other in ’70. I have the debut, and love it. Only Manfred Mann himself and drummer... | |
| Preferred Contact Cleaner and Contact Enhancer for Audio? The Gold is, not-ironically, for gold plated jacks and plugs. As Elizabeth suggested, the Gold is available in a 7.4 mL bottle with brush applicator (part no. G100L-2DB) for twenty bucks on Amazon. In that bottle is a 100% solution; the aerosol sp... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Fantastic! I use to have a Theta D/A, and still have the Moffat-designed Angstrom 200 Director. The one product they talked about that seems unlikely to me is the processor that will, allegedly, allow the vocal in a recording to be adjusted in tim... |
