| Lee Ann Womack And I'm going to give Lee Ann's new album a listen. I may love it! By the way, she duets with one of my favorite current male artists---the great Buddy Miller, on an album of Buddy's entitled Buddy & Friends: Cayamo Sessions At Sea. It's an al... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Right, prof?! I wanted to find out how tall the Seismic Pods are, and neither the U.S. Townshend distributor nor any Townshend retailer could tell me. Lame! I just bought a used pair here on Audiogon---when they get to me I’ll post the Pods’ dimen... | |
| New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM twoch---Lower, no. The DWM doesn’t play lower than the MG3.7, or even the 1.7. But it does provide more output above the frequency at which Maggies start rolling off---40-45Hz. It’s NOT a sub, it’s a bass driver. | |
| Lee Ann Womack I really, really tried to like Lee Ann awhile back. I love Hard Country, Singer-Songwriter type music, most of my favorite current artists being in that genre. It can be a subtle thing, but there is a definite chasm between artists and entertainer... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable Good stuff whart. All my speakers are dipoles (original Quads, Magneplanars, Eminent Technology LFT's), and I have been dealing with their backwave for years. But imo that wave is of less concern that is the vibration coming up into a turntable fr... | |
| RCA Caps I found the Aurora Tronics plugs in a 2015 ebay ad. It doesn't matter who makes them, as long as the hot center pin and outer ground are soldered together, to create the short. Anything less is merely cosmetic. | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers walterzlife---Whenever I see a comment such as yours, I can’t help but ask: How can you be so very, very sure? Have you heard all the ESL speakers available today? The Music Reference, for instance? All the SoundLab models? The Sanders 10e? All th... | |
| RE: Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers are Recommended For not a whole lot of $, Ingress Engineering in Canada offers a couple of roller bearing models. The top model is made to Diament’s specs. Better than Symposium’s Rollerblock, and cheaper. | |
| Advise on TT Support Platform Whatever the nature of the structure, you will want to isolate the turntable from it and terra firma. Cost-no-object via a Minus K table, on the cheap (relatively) by a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Pods. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Though 3" planks of Maple are hot right now, I myself would have some shelves made out of 19mm-3/4" 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood. You could even use two layers, with constrained-layer damping between the two. For the hollow columns of the Lovan, sa... | |
| Best looking reel to reel The consumer models by Studer are cool looking too---the Revox A77, B77, and A700. For the pro look, Crown's are impressive. All of these make the Teac look like the mass-market recorder it was. All of these also possess excellent sound quality, i... | |
| I'll Take "Songs About People" for $200 "Angie". I don't love The Stones, but I do love this song. | |
| RCA Caps There is a small operation making and selling true RCA shorting plugs: Aurora Tronics in Sandy Hook, CT (phone number 203/426-9599). I bought some a couple of years ago, and they were cheap: $19.95 for 20 plugs. They also offer RCA phono cap cover... | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? I have never liked the mixes on the original Beatles albums, in which the vocals are too high in level in relation to the instruments. George Martin produced them as a Pop group, not a Rock 'n' Roll band. The vocals don't "sit" in the over-all sou... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Yes! The Muleskinner album is fantastic, and that live TV appearance was put out on VHS tape. I don't know about DVD. Speaking of Peter Rowan, he joined Seatrain in time for their second album (s/t, produced by George Martin), and the version on t... |
