| MONO cartridge recommendation Lew, I should have posed it as a question rather than a statement. As in: "Is a mono switch the same as a mono cartridge?" I ask because the stereo pickup creates it’s output signal from both the horizontal (monaural) and vertical (stereo) modulat... | |
| Most overrated bands I think The Ramones are UNDER-rated. | |
| Linestage search You just missed an 868L, which went for $2850 last week. A good companion for the 509’s, balanced/XLR outputs via transformers. | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation London has no info on their website about their mono cartridge, for some reason. I read about it elsewhere, and it is a true mono only, horizontal-modulation only sensing design. It has no magnet & coil for the vertical! Why would that cause h... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yep slaw, Iris and Greg are husband and wife. John's just a good friend and collaborator. As for Lucinda, I was so happy when I heard Little Honey---she's back in form! | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection roxy54---I have just finished reading the chapter in Bob Dylan In America in which Sean Wilentz discusses Dylan’s "Love and Theft" album. Bob is so productive I haven’t been able to keep up with all his releases (plus the nature of some of them do... | |
| A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner? Terry, Vic has experience with his arm and my cartridge, the London Reference, so I’ll be asking him for recommendations and advice. His system’s speakers are an OB design, as are mine, partly---OB/dipole subs, planar speakers. You have the Transf... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I know what you mean, reubent. Prine is a fine songwriter, and a singer with his own identifiable style and sound, rough as it is. But he, like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan, is really difficult to sing harmony with. His phrasing is ju... | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Ah, right you are jwm. Close, but no cigar! | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Yeah, Al! The first version I heard of "Train Kept A Rollin’ " was in 1965, that by The Yardbirds with of course Jeff Beck on guitar. It’s a great version, and I was amazed in 1977 when I heard a version I liked even more, that of The Rock ’n’ Rol... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. The original Rockabilly artists, like The Rock 'n' Roll Trio (Johnny Burnette and his brother Dorsey, along with Telecaster guitarist Paul Burlinson, a favorite of Jeff Beck). There are hundreds of others, released on small, independent, regional ... | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? The problem with The Beatles music---whether on original Parlophone LPs (which I have), the recent mono LPs (which I also have), CDs (yup)---is that the recordings themselves are rather mediocre. George Martin was a fine producer, and EMI had grea... | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Right Marty, and power amps too. Didn't he make those V-8 amps that George Cardas has in his system? | |
| Sentimental song. I gotta get me some more Gauthier, slaw. She’s my favorite "new" discovery. Some other songs I always go to are a couple by Brian Wilson, "God Only Knows" and "In My Room", and "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted", sung by either Jimmy Ruffin (orig... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Good choice, rsf507. I've mentioned the Sanders ESLs in other threads, and love them myself. I heard them at the S. CA show a couple of years ago, and thought they provided the best sound at the show. |
