| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps In light of the upcoming Holidays, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" as sung by Darlene Love, an absolute masterpiece produced by Phil Spector. | |
| shrink wrap film residue- how to remove Novus is a plastic polish and scratch remover. As wolf suggested, use No.1, the finest grit. Great stuff, I use it in restoring the "wraps" on vintage drums. Another great product I use, to remove tape glue residue on LP jackets and CD cases, is n... | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearm? Geoffrey Owens of Helius Designs makes a 9", 10", and 12" version of his excellent Omega arm. It is his opinion that the 10" provides the best balance between the advantages and disadvantages of all lengths. 12" arms, while providing significantly... | |
| Are You Experienced? This looks like it will really be something! I would go for the Stereo version, as there are some inter-channel psychedelic effects (very big at the time of the album's release) you will want to be able to hear. Great on headphones! | |
| Interconnect Length Take folkfreak's advice, it's good. | |
| Gradient Revolution Opinions Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Add GR Research OB/Dipole Subs for State-Of-The-Art bass, excellent in small rooms due in part to their dipole room-loading characteristics. | |
| 300 rpm motor for VPI I assume all HW-19's have the 5.5w version of the 600rpm motor. Is the same true for Aries 1's? Assuming the motor hasn't been changed out, of course. | |
| Michael Fremer's system Reminds me of when pics of the room Harry Pearson squeezed the IRS' into came out (no pun intended ;-). Everyone was aghast, and his judgment and previously-unquestioned credibility became suspect. | |

Produced by Bill Halverson (CSN&N, Clapton, Cream, Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Albert King, Keith Jarrett, Bad Company, The Texas Tornedos, Ravi Shankar. Damn!), and executive produced by Rodney Crowel... | |
| Neil Young Concert tonight - free streaming When it came time to mix the tracks of his first album, Neil was somewhat insecure about his voice, and placed the vocal track down "into" the mix. Early LP pressings of the album contain that mix. With the reaction to the album---very positive---... | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Speakers are musical instruments? That is the single most anti-hi-fidelity statement I have ever heard! Speakers reproduce the sound made by musical instruments, a VERY different thing from producing that sound in the first place. Musical instrume... | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts I need to know about the GAIA as well. I'm also very curious about their Iso-Puck. | |
| Neil Young Concert tonight - free streaming "Still has his voice" ! ;-). I kid; Neil doesn't have much of an instrument, but it's an expressive one, and very unique. I have recently finally heard his best song, "Powderfinger". Love it! | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Magneplanar Tympani-IVa, but my current (and in all likely hood permanent and final) music room is not big enough for them. So I have to get along on Quad ESL and Eminent Technology LFT-8b & LFT-4 loudspeakers, augmented with GR Research/Rythm... | |
| That perfect RIAA match? Jadis content. Audio Elements in Pasadena California (owned by Brian Berdan, Brooks' son) has a Jadis DPMC listed on Audiogon right now at an asking price of $2200. |
