| Talk but not walk? glupson---No, I meant the services MG provides through his website (or however he does his consultation), not any information he provides here on AudiogoN gratis. | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? A sheet of 3/4"/19mm 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood (it is available in both 4’ x 6’ and 5’ x 5’ sheets) will cost you only $50 or so. Cut two pieces to size and glue them together. MUCH stiffer that the twice-as-thick 3" thick piece of maple, and mo... | |
| Talk but not walk? Well stevecham, MG says he’s happy to do Q & A, so ask the questions to which you desire answers. Let’s see if he will, conversely ;-), talk it like he walks it. Just to be clear, I believe MG has every right to charge for his services, which ... | |
| A song murdered by someone. Oh man forsooth, great one! Talk about a bludgeoning! Vanilla Fudge was the most grossly untasteful band I’ve ever heard. I lost a lot of respect for Jeff Beck when he hired Carmine Appice and Tim Bogart, one of the worst rhythm sections to make i... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? asahitoro, even if you go with maple or butcher block, consider getting two pieces and placing a thin sheet of constrained layer damping of your choice between them. That will mitigate the resonance found in all materials, including wood. Actually... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century @fixedincome---I too love the GV, but that is hardly a 20th Century piano work! | |
| Talk but not walk? @glupson---Oh no, I have no problem with MG posting here, on any topic he choses. I was just explaining to stevecham why he's not getting the answers from MG he wants. For that info, you gotta pay! | |
| A song murdered by someone. @acresverde---We have a winner! I have no idea what was suppose to be funny about that. Why mock such a thing?Al---I had forgotten about "Stroll On"! You’re exactly correct about the reason for the change in lyrics. I’m sure they would be sued for... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "Sugar Baby" is on the "Love And Theft" (quotation marks in the title, as if to say..... ;-), album, which I have raving about for quite awhile here on Audiogon. It doesn’t seem to get mentioned much, but’s it’s a favorite of mine. | |
| When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring? I just remembered an album that has excellent sound and interesting music (at least I think so), one that never gets mentioned. It’s the 1975 debut album by Old & In The Way, a group consisting of Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan (from... | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? @heardthat---you gotta wife who sits with you listening to music for four hours? Now THAT'S a keeper! Your system must sound real good too, especially at high frequencies. Women are more sensitive to hf distortion than many men, perhaps because we... | |
| Talk but not walk? @stevecham---You don’t understand. You ask MG to explain what he does, but he’s not gonna give that away---that’s his product! He is no longer a hi-fi retailer selling currently available commercial products (except his own), he sells his "tuning"... | |
| The better (artist).... John Lennon or Paul McCartney? George Harrison ;-) . | |
| A song murdered by someone. There will be those who consider a subject such as this too negative, and a waste of one’s precious time. I empathize and even agree with that point of view, and usually refrain. But if you have to vent, at least this isn’t about politics. And the... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! The hf ribbon in the bigger/better Maggies is mighty nice, as are the RAAL and BG NEO 8. |
