Looks like the tour isn't coming to the Northwest, damn it. I haven't seen Lucinda, Steve, or Dwight live in ages, Lucinda last at The Wiltern Theater on the Car Wheels tour (Jim Lauderdale opened for her, and then played acoustic guitar and sang ... 
SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
Though it may look home-made, the Terminator is not a DIY kit. You do have to hook it up to an air supply, but that is true of all air bearing arms. 
SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
For an over-achiever (price to performance relationship), check out the Trans-Fi Terminator. 
Neil Young - Guitarist
I haven't seen the list (of course ;-), but I'm going to guess Danny Gatton isn't on it. Danny who? 
Subwoofer Decision
As another indicator of the sound characteristic of the Rythmik F12G sub, one listener's reaction upon hearing it was that it sounded "leaner" than other subs. To me that's a compliment!Hartf36 mentioned the Rythmik's adjustability. Brian Ding con...

A Rolling Stone musician ranking carries as much weight with me as the same in People magazine. 
What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you?
If you add a great sub to any speaker, you automatically need only half as much power for the speaker. If you bi-amp, same thing for the m/t drivers. 
SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
$30,000 will buy a lot of records. If you spend $30,000 on an arm, you should have at least 30,000 LP's. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Oops. "West" is a fantastic song, but it was "Are You Alright?" that I meant to single out for it's lyrical content. It you weren't in love when the song begins, you will be by the time it ends. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
The complete lyrics in Lucinda Williams' song "West" on the album of the same title are the sweetest, most endearing I've heard in a long, long time. The chord sequence and melody are also magnificent, absolutely beautiful. Heart-wrenching, actually. 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
Ralph, have you considered offering a stand-alone balanced phono stage? I’d bet you could sell quite a few of them! There are a number of solid state balanced phonos, but no tube (other than the phono stage in your complete pre’s), as far as I know. 
Ess Company
The ESS speaker I would still like to find is the Super Quad. It used the original Quad ESL for the midrange, with the same transmissionline-loaded Kef B-139 woofer and RTR tweeters as did the Transtatic. Not many were made---it retailed for $2000... 
Some help with my new-used Michell Gyrodec w/ Zeta tonearm...
Classic table/arm combo! Rather than buying a new tone arm cable, send the Zeta to Johnnie at Audio Origami in England for a complete rewire. Johnnie has a lot of experience with that excellent British arm (I have one myself), and offers different...

Let's ask Quincy Jones.

@jafant, I’ve had the original Sweet Old World since it’s release in 92, and the new version is in my pile of new acquisitions, waiting in line to be heard. Too much music, too little time (left). I have to laugh when I hear old guys I know say "g...
