| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dang @slaw, Giddens, Cooder, and The Band. Don't get no better than that! Follow it up with Bring The Family and The Houston Kid, and call it a day. | |
| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do An old technique for suspended floors is to install a jack directly under the location of the turntable, applying just enough pressure to stabilize the floor. That assumes the area under the floor is just a crawl space, not a basement. In the c... | |
| Quality of recording while evaluating speakers Focus on the music, and accept the fact that recorded sound quality varies. What's the alternative, to be miserable? | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR Oops, not 15kHz, but rather 15K ohms. The Deccas (and to a lesser extent the Londons) can benefit from a lower than standard 47K ohms input impedance, and a little extra capacitance. In the late-1980’s I was graced with a phone call from Decca... | |

| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used A strong second recommendation for the Music Reference RM-10 (look for the improved Mk.2 iteration). Though the designer/owner of MR (Roger Modjeski) passed away in 2019, product servicing remains available from an engineer he left in charge of... | |
| MoFi v/s UHQR @sokogear: The two best known moving iron pickups are from Grado (U.S.A.) and London/Decca (England). Both are very high output designs, the London/Decca 5mv! | |
| New In 2024 In September Mary Gauthier’s album Drag Queens In Limousines will be released on LP (vinyl for you youngins’) for the first time. Also in September, Ray Charles’ Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music and it’s follow-up Volume Two. Both re... | |
