| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Speaking from personal experience alone, Atma-Sphere, Music Reference, Jadis, and AVA (Audio By Van Alstine) are excellent. Audio Research not so much, but that company may have more happy owners than all the above combined, so what do I know? Are... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? I watched and listened to them tonight on SNL, and the drummer is certainly no John Bonham. And who dresses the singer? ;-) | |
| Saving the sound of the Stradivarius Dave Edmunds was taking his original 1958 dot-neck Gibson ES335's (one blonde, one black) on the road until someone told him how much they were worth. Too easy to get stolen. Yo Yo buys a second ticket for the seat next to him on plane flights, fo... | |
| Best practices - cleaning contacts! The 7.4mL bottle of Deoxit Gold recommended by Elizabeth ($32.95 on Amazon, $29.95 from Michael Percy) is included in the company’s K-DG100L-2DB kit, available from Markertek for $25.99. In addition to the 7.4mL bottle of Gold, the kit includes a ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Brooks Berdan was (RIP) my turntable guy, and he loved the ET. He was first mounting it on the Oracle (a table for which he came up with a mod, which Oracle themselves eventually incorporated), and later the VPI's, particularly the TNT. The arm li... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @slaw, I know the Moerch arms are another favorite with Rock owners, which is surprising to me given their relatively low mass characteristics. I’ve seen listings for a Townshend Audio Excalibur II arm, but no pics. I have also heard talk of a rep... | |
| The Steep Canyon Rangers Thanks Tammy, will do. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Hey slaw, I guess you have your ET on a VPI, not your Townshend Audio Rock 7, ay? ;-) What arm is on your Rock? My Rock Elite (Mk.2) was made with it’s damping trough having an arc diameter appropriate for the shorter-than-usual Townshend Excalibu... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception Listening to music a "hobby"? Not for me; it’s at least as important as breathing, eating, or any other activity necessary to sustain life. | |
| Rack for Pass XA30.8 Sound Anchors. | |
| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure The new "Degritter" is a better designed (120kHz) and built ultrasonic, and about half the price. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Me too @rx8man, but only $69.95 for an 8' pair! I have the receipt, perhaps a close-out price? I still have the cables. | |
| Worst Album Covers by your fav albums I don’t know what the music is like, but have you seen the LP cover of the 1972 debut album by Mom’s Apple Pie? It slipped by the censors, but was banned soon after release. A Google Images search will reveal why! I'm guessing a young Larry Flynt ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? My knowledge of physics is rather limited, so let me ask those of you who finished high school (;-) if the following is correct:To achieve higher moment-of-inertia (same as mass?) in the vertical plane, the mass of a counterweight should be locate... | |
| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? Yeah Davey, I use them just for surround sound special effects. They were dirt cheap, better than anything else for their price at the time. |
