| 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. | |

| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard flashbazbo’s post says it all; that’s EXACTLY how almost all commercial recordings are made. It is also the reason why using any of them in the attempt to assess the accuracy of a system, or loudspeaker, or any other component, is pointless. One C... | |
| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. inna, the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub is a completely different animal than are sealed and ported subs, even really good ones like REL’s.

| speakers with active bass Jim Salk not only builds powered subs into his higher-priced loudspeaker models, he does so with the Rythmik Servo-Feedback sub! | |
| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard Microphones certainly are transducers, the recording equivalent of the phono cartridge in playback. They therefore are more inherently prone to distortion than are electronics, but the way in which outboard processing is used by the vast majority ... | |
| Tune of the Day Cool slaw, I'll have to give T & L another viewing. I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters, and hadn't recalled that scene. | |
| Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of. This is an easy one for me, being somewhat of an Anglophile. London Reference pickup, Helius Omega Silver Ruby arm, Townshend Audio Rock turntable, Ear-Yoshino Acute 4/Dac 4 CD/SACD player, EAR-Yoshino 912 pre-amp and 534 power amp, QUAD ESL louds... |
