| Substitute for Shindo in the UK EAR-Yoshino. | |
| Coupling vs Decoupling @jdeickhoff, to see and learn more about mass-on-spring isolation, go to You Tube and do a search for the Townshend Audio Seismic Pod video, on which that product is explained and demonstrated. | |
| The future of new music....... Young, modern engineers have been trained in very non-audiophile/purist recording methods and techniques, the term high fidelity meaning absolutely nothing to them. There is no absolute, all is relative. The idea of recreating an acoustic event is... | |
| Questions about my system. Tubes have to me always meant freedom from grain, dryness (lack of liquid transparency), and thinning of the harmonic complexity of instruments and voices. Also superior depth reproduction, the physical palpability of instruments and vocal cords, ... | |
| Questions about my system. "Warmth" is a coloration. A really good pre-amp, whether tube or solid state, sounds neither warm nor cold, neither soft nor hard. | |
| Platter mat insanity David Fletcher, Marcel Riendeau, Peter Moncrieff, George Merrill, Austin Jackson. There are others, but that’s enough to get the sincerely interested started. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? In the 1960’s and 70’s, self-contained musical organizations (those that wrote, sang, and played the music on recordings) were called groups, not bands. The term band for many years referred to the musicians who backed up a singer, i.e. (Springste... | |
| Your 3 Favorite Songs Great songs slaw. I always forget how good a song "Monday Monday" is, until I hear it playing. By the way, I met Carole in the late 90's, and she was absolutely wonderful, as beautiful inside as she is outside. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @convinced, I'm impressed! I discovered Smiley Smile (and Wild Honey) in the spring of '68, and soon read (in Paul Williams' Outlaw Blues, a great book on music) about the entire Smile album debacle. That album would have been, had it been complet... | |
| Your 3 Favorite Songs "God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson (music) and Tony Asher (lyrics), performed by The Beach Boys, vocals by Carl Wilson."What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean, performed by Jimmy Ruf... | |
| The "how many reviews it got" rule So true jl35. Some designers/manufactures are uninterested in playing the review game, accepting the fact that to do so prevents their products from achieving the sales they deserve and could possibly achieve. It's much like the artists who declin... | |
| Platter mat insanity I like and agree with all of Victor Pattachiolla’s designs EXCEPT the Resomat. The Salvation turntable, excellent; the Terminator arm, excellent (and a great value). But the Resomat, like the Transcriptors turntable, suspends the LP in air, not a ... | |
| Platter mat insanity While the Terminator arm is temporarily unavailable (Vic builds them in batches), Trans-Fi is still in business and the Resomat currently available. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I saw Dylan in the early 1990’s at The Hollywood Bowl, the worst show I’ve ever witnessed by anybody (though The Stones at The Staples Center a decade later was close. Time to hang it up, fellas). Both he and his band (G.E. Smith / guitar and mugg... | |
| Bozak concert grand speakers My error, it was Wharfedale whose large enclosure models incorporated sand filled chambers. |
