| Whats playing on your system today? Yeah pops, Springsteen’s heart is in the right place. I just wish he (and Elvis Costello, whose vibrato is WAAAY out of control) would calm the Hell down. Bruce is just "trying" to sing way too hard---his throat all tight, squeezing the lyrics thr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? An entire LP side containing one song, and that song having the title "Revelation", vividly brings back that era (1966-68). Alotta trippin' goin' on. Just about everybody I knew owned the 1st and 2nd Love albums, and a lot of San Jose groups inclu... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @danimaz, If you reread my post above, you will notice I did NOT state that I prefer Rythmik over Hsu and JL. I brought Rythmik to your attention firstly because you responded to mzk’s post about the Rythmik F18 by saying you are not interested in... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Joan Osborne: Pretty Little Stranger. Two thumbs way up!Joan Osborne: Songs Of Bob Dylan. Sorry JO, don’t care for it. Yet. I’ll give it a few more spins.Lee Ann Womack: The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone. Lee described it’s Genesis as her wa... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? reubent and others who haven’t been Springsteen lovers, I too have yet to understand his allure, or the enormousness of his popularity. But I haven’t seen him live, and from the clips I’ve seen (and the accolades from those I know who have), that’... | |
| Attending an audio show Oh, and bring your preferred headache remedy. I invariably have developed one as the late afternoon approaches. | |
| Impedance matching with tube amp hansk46's figures may be incorrect---100k output for the ARC Ref3 certainly is, and 600 ohms for the input of the Sphinx is, if correct, by far the lowest I have ever seen in a power amp. | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? Excellent 1markr! The original Ingress roller bearing (Level 1, I believe) equals the twice-as-expensive Symposium Rollerblock Jr., for less than a hundred bucks for a set of three. His only-slightly-more-expensive models are superior to the highe... | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 @danimaz, the 18" model is Rythmik's newest (available in both sealed and ported versions), but 8", 12", and 15" models are also available, the 8 and 12 priced at less than a grand, the 15 just over. All feature owner/designer Brian Ding's custom ... | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? In his Stereophile review of the Liberty B2B phono amp, Michael Fremer described it as being unusually dynamic. There is one currently available on AudiogoN. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Man, what a pleasure it is to read comments about music from listeners whose taste is so in line with my own! | |
| Attending an audio show @mcrib, bring with you a recording whose sound and music you are very familiar with. Use the same song or two to audition all systems (or speakers, etc.); that way you are comparing apples to apples. | |
| SME Tonearms of Canada - Alfred and Company that sell new and refurbish SME There is a guy in the UK doing great pickup arm work---Johnnie at Audio Origami. He does rewires using either Cardas copper or two different brands of silver (one being Kondo)., and has nothing but satisfied clients. | |
| Which pickup do I sell, which do I keep? Naw tkr, you just need a second table ;-). I myself just got one to mount a TransFi Terminator arm with London pickup on. | |
| Phono stage The Liberty is NOT a tube design, but according to Michael Fremer’s description of it’s sound in Stereophile a while back, does provide great bass slam. That was in fact one of the things Fremer liked most about it. There happens to be a used one ... |
