| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517, I attributed the "The best bass comes when the tonearm is setup for the highest vertical inertia" statement to you. Does your "It's not really my assertion" statement mean that it is actually that of Bruce Thigpen in regard to his ET arm ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger, could it be the old 1kHz frequency was chosen in relation to the RIAA equalization curves? | |
| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? This is a very old thread, containing some contradictory information. The op identified his speaker as the Optimus 5, denf then mistakenly thinking it was the Optimus Pro LX4 that was being referred to. Actually, there was both an Optimus Pro LX4 ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Chris’ (ct0517) assertion that high vertical moment-of-inertia produces the best bass is to me, a user of London (Decca) cartridges, VERY interesting. That cartridge exhibits far lower vertical compliance than horizontal, which aligns well with a ... | |
| 50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang rpeluso, your kids are lucky to have a Pa such as you. The guitarist in my senior year of high school band's Dad was a Jazz drummer, and he came with us to see Cream at The Fillmore on their first U.S. tour. I didn't see how he reacted to the "Jaz... | |
| 50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang Damn @rpeluso, I’m green with envy! I had made plans to make the pilgrimage to Levon’s Barn with an old friend of mine (I’ve made music with him off and on since 1968. He saw Dylan & The Hawks live in ’65!), but he had a terrible accident and ... | |

| Heaviest Headshell? Lead weights, like the ones used to balance wheels. | |
| How many of you had been to all 50 states of United States. Way back in '71 my band got hired to play in the Officers Club on the Navy base on Kodiak Island (at the southern tip of Alaska). We drove from San Jose to Seattle, and were flown from there to Kodiak in a Navy prop jet. Worst flight of my life! L... | |
| 50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang @goofyfoot, I believe you are thinking of Big Pink, the house in Saugerties, NY (close to Woodstock) that three members of The Band rented and lived in throughout 1967 and into ’68. They rehearsed in the basement of that house, and made the legend... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I find the drumming of Steve Gadd closer to that of Buddy Rich than Carl Palmer's. For pure technical ability, nobody alive is better than Vinnie Colaiuta (Jeff Beck). For a close look at Fito DeLa Parra, watch him in the Woodstock movie. He, like... | |
| 50th Woodstock Anniversay Concert ; Michael Lang While in Woodstock, attend a show at Levon Helm's Barn! | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? @tostadosunidos, I always viewed those lyrics as The Chamber Brothers (siblings, not bruthas ;-) perhaps-cynical attempt to cash in on the counter-culture consumers, who making artists and entertainers rich. In an interview, Bill Graham said if yo... | |
| Group delay in subwoofers Rythmik Audio subs come with a plate amp that includes a continuously-variable phase control. The control allows time-aligning woofers to speakers without physically moving either. The Rythmik PEQ model plate amps also provide both low level conne... | |
| Jumperless jumpers The Eminent Technology LFT-8b comes with jumpers for the two pair of binding posts, the jumpers simple lengths of stranded-copper with stripped ends. |
