| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. Walmart already has the boxset back in stock, and are selling it for $89.99, the best price I see. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? Oh Geoff, I thought you meant that a CD itself sounds better if stored vertically! Maybe your room benefits from horizontal diffusion (from vertically-orientated diffusors). Mine does, for planar speakers. Plastic CD jewel cases are nasty, cardboa... | |
| Linn Audio Mahler, the Linn attitude to which I referred was that Linn products were the only good ones, that everything else was garbage. Linnies (I knew a few) were brainwashed, automatically dismissing everything that didn't play into the Linn view of Hi-... | |
| What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl? I like to see people have more invested in their music libraries than their hi-fi systems. | |
| What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl? Damn whart (and you others), your bank account must be mighty healthy! Luckily, my taste in music is not that of most people’s, so anything I’m looking for is not that high in demand. I still need an original UK Sire (9103-251) pressing of the Fla... | |
| Linn Audio Linn, and their most ardent dealers, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with their obnoxious attitude. | |
| Best TT under $1k Except for their arms, I consider the design of Regas poor. I don't like the resonant MDF plinth, the motor attached directly to it, the plastic sub-platter, the glass platter, or the inability to adjust even arm height. I would much rather have a... | |
| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? I had the audiologist I went to in my late 30's to have molds made of my ear canals (for pro ear plugs) test my hearing. High end loss of course, almost nothing above 15k. Thirty years later I now have some tinnitus, but not that bad considering 5... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I've never seen an LP collection stored horizontally. Since CD's are (mostly) in jewel cases, I doubt it matters. But it IS easier to get a CD case out if it doesn't have 10 or 20 more piled on top of it. | |
| FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them? Antennacraft unfortunately is out of business. | |
| Western Electric 10ga vs Dueland 16ga john, I got my WE 14g from tjacobs (a retired WE engineer) as well. It's the old stuff. | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Since no one else has, I'll nominate any amp designed and hand-made by Roger Modjeski at Music Reference. Not that his RM-9, RM-10, RM-200, and his new low-power single-ended and OTL amps are THE best (IS there such a thing?), but they are well de... | |
| another what speaker cable for vandersteen Try and find a used pair of Clear Day Double Shotguns. Owner/designer Paul Laudati is very ill, and is no longer making them. | |
| Siegfried Linkwitz Passes VERY important theorist, researcher, and designer. Guys like him aren't thick on the ground. | |
| What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl? Assuming you are speaking of an out-of-print collectable/rare LP, $30 for a Mint UK copy of an early 70’s album, the price I have set as my ceiling. I’ve learned that if you can muster a little patience, and just pass on an over-priced copy of an ... |
