| Analogue Productions New Doors LA Woman Vinyl Disc @viridian: "But there is only one original." Well, actually..... Since discovering Discogs, and reading the Hoffman Forums, the matter of pressing plants has "unfortunately" come to my attention. Even first pressings from different plants can ... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Thanks for the clarification @clio09. I believe you have corrected me on that matter before . I attended the talk Roger gave at Brooks Berdan Ltd., in which he introduced the RM-10. At that time I had a two pair of QUADS, mounted in a frame... | |
| Are your records a health concern? Oh yeah @noromance, right you are. | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @chazz101s: Jim Gordon is correct. As The 3rd drummer’s name may not be as familiar to many as the other two, I’ll divulge it now: Earl Palmer. Earl considered himself a Jazz musician, but didn’t turn down offers for Rock ’n’ Roll recording se... | |
| Are your records a health concern? I wonder if CD's are also made of PVC? | |
| Building crossovers Give Danny Richie at GR Research a call or email. He had had at least one Magnepan model sent to him for evaluation, and he posted a YouTube video in which he discusses and demonstrates what he discovered. As he regularly does with loudspeakers... | |
| New In 2024 In November, a new album (entitled Woodland) from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes To add to Ralph’s (atmasphere) expert commentary, probably the most transparent music reproduction I have ever heard was a pair of QUAD ESL’s driven by a pair of his M-60 OTL amps. Roger Modjeski was also a huge fan of the QUADs, and used that... | |
| Isolation systems @sidog1460: The question of whether to isolate components individually vs. install Townshend Audio Seismic Corners on a rack is an interesting one. The Corners isolate the rack and everything it supports from floor-borne vibrations, but do noth... | |
| Isolation systems @sidog1460: The article linked by @dituse is well worth reading. The first point made in the article dispels the myth that spikes provide isolation. They do not; spikes couple, they do not decouple (thereby providing isolation). The anti-reson... | |
| Analogue Productions New Doors LA Woman Vinyl Disc @viridian: I recognized your post as tongue-in-cheek, and appreciated the levity . Just for the record (ha), your original pressing of Kind Of Blue contains one LP side cut with the tempo and pitch of the instruments different from what the mu... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @tony1954: James Burton is correct. I vividly remember watching James playing his Telecaster on The Ozzie & Harriet Show. After Ricky became a Rock 'n' Roll star, he and his little band closed the show every night. And if you compare James'... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @tablejockey: 2- Incorrect answer, but a great guitarist none-the-less. And coincidently, Glen was also a member of The Wrecking Crew. Hint: The guitarist in question is well known as a Fender Telecaster player, a pink paisley one no less. 3-... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes I heard the Sanders Model 10 ESL’s at two Stereophile shows, and considered the sound they produced to be the best at the shows. At one of the shows I also heard a gigantic pair of SoundLabs ESL’s, but there was definitely something wrong. Ampl... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) For a related quiz: 1- Name the sax player who worked in Rock ’n’ Roll bands from the 1950’s all the way into the 1980’s. Hint: He recorded his own single, the title of which contained his last name. 2- Name the electric guitarist who play... |
