| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? I hesitate suggesting any artist, as someone here is bound to have heard of him or her, some even having actually heard his or her music. For instance, some have never even heard of Dave Edmunds, others are very aware of him (and his band with Nic... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @clio09, there have been two different RM-10 Mk.2 listed here recently, one at a much lower price than the other. The cheaper sold, the other is still listed at an asking price of $2450, I believe. | |
| Tone arm counter weight Groovetracer. | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? KLEI competition comes only from WBT, but you can’t get a pair of them for $50. | |
| Recording 50's style I have a friend with a small pro studio, and his gear (2" reel-to-reel 16/24 trk. recorder, vintage and contemporary mics, Altec A7 monitors) includes tube and transistor stuff from the 1950's to the present. Mics, mic pre-amps, limiters, compress... | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw, the Tara Nevins and Kelly Willis LP's arrived today, and I gotta say, Amazons' LP shipping cartons are really well designed; both album covers are perfect, no dog-eared corners or dinged edges (a pet peeve of mine).I haven't yet listened to... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @georgehifi, another weakness in the Cary integrated is its' very low power (much lower than spec'd) and high distortion. Modjeski made the point that in his evaluation of the amp for Stereophile, Herb Reichert may very well have been listening to... | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? The Cardas are made of brass. Look at Vampire and the lower KLEI models.. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. I’ll second wharts' recommendation of Andrew Gold, whose 1975 s/t debut solo album is mighty fine. In 1997 he put out a really well done tongue-in-cheek parody of late-60’s psychedelia, an album entitled Greetings From Planet Love by a group he na... | |
| I lost an m7 set screw. What do I do? My local Ace Hardware has metric set screws. | |
| Carpenters Karen was a good drummer too, mentored by Hal Blaine himself. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? One man’s unknown artist is another’s very well known one. Audiogon members are unusually aware of cult-level artists, unheard of by the great unwashed.But I must take issue with your opening premise @mitchagain, that audiophile’s "are the ones wi... | |
| What is the best 5k-plus Preamp with balanced outs and Phono stage? The EAR-Yoshino 868 is also available as a line-stage only. model designation 868L. Two pair balanced/XLR outputs (via transformers), two pair unbalanced outputs on RCA's, one pair tape outputs on RCA's. 17dB gain provided by a pair of 7DJ8 tubes. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect $24,000 will buy a lot of music. | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw, yup, DTB have been on my radar for a while now, but for some reason I’ve passed them by. I’m somewhat skeptical of young Alt-Country/Americana bands, often finding them a little weak in one way or another. But DTB aren’t young anymore, are ... |
