Don't You Just Love It When...
Cheap Trick reference Kiss in "Surrender". 
David Crosby If Only I Could Remember My Name
Didn't Classic Records do a pressing of the album? 
Does anyone use a tuner?
Yup Nonoise, Lake Oswego is still here, though my sis tells me it's known by some locals as Lake no negroes ;-) . And the anti-California transplant sentiment is alive and well. Since my sis has been here since 1971, I have an out. Actually, I liv... 
Does anyone use a tuner?
Me too, nonoise. I'm new to the Portland (Oregon) area, and Bernie's really popular here in the Northwest. Portland's slogan---on buildings all over town---is "Keep Portland weird" ;-). I was a little uncomfortable, however, with the "All lives ma... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I just saw that Dylan's "Love And Theft" is coming out on LP on December 8th, a double disc on Columbia. Great album imo. How are current Columbia pressings (I've never bought one)?  
Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ?
Steve, I’m a long-time Decca/London pickup user, on-and-off since 1972. I have had a Super Gold Mk.7 mounted on a Zeta arm (which replaced a Cardas-rewired Rega 300), itself bolted onto a Townshend Audio Elite Rock (Mk.2) table for awhile now. The... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I really, really liked Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. At first. But there was something about them, or more correctly, about him, that didn't wear well with me. I at first just lost interest, eventually coming to actually dislike him. I know a... 
Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable!
prof---While MDF is cheap and easily obtained, it’s not a very good material for a shelf. Think about it; MDF is sawdust and glue mixed together---somewhat non-resonant, but not very stiff. 13-ply Baltic Birch ply (19mm, or 3/4" thick) is very sti... 
Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ?
I don’t know yet Steve, the arm just left the UK yesterday. It will be here in about a week. I too am an admirer of Jeff Spall’s Audiomods Arm, one I recommend anyone in the market for a very high-value pickup arm at least checkout. I would rather... 
Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ?
Steve (williewonka), I happen to have just done that. I had Vic at Trans-Fi install a pair of the KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA’s (that I sent him) on the ends of the 1-piece silver loom with which he wired the Terminator Arm he was making me---Eric. 
RCA Caps
whart, it's always a cause for concern when the original owner of a company sells it. Even more so when the owner was deeply involved in the design of his company's products, as was Bill Johnson in ARC's. I know some hardcore tube guys who feel AR... 
Lee Ann Womack
Dang rpeluso, I didn't realize you are into Americana (my preferred term for the genre) as much as I! I will definitely give Lee Ann another chance, I may have been too hasty. 
RCA Caps
James, there is a real good chance that true shorting plugs will provide an improvement over the non-shorting Cardas caps. Do a search for them on ebay, where I found mine. I then sold my Cardas, as they were inferior to the far cheaper plugs. As ... 
Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ?
The issue with the tonearm cable is the extremely small cartridge output voltage traveling through it. Noise pick up (no pun intended!) can be a serious problem. A shielded cable is a real good idea. 
Best looking reel to reel
OMG, those United reels are so ghetto! Too much bling for this white boy.
