| Whats on your turntable tonight? Speaking of Petty, he produced and performs on Chris Hillman's new album, which is available on LP and CD. I went to buy it today, and my store (Music Millennium in Portland) was sold out of both! | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Harold, KLE makes it kind of confusing, with their name designation. The RCA jack line ascends in this order: Classic Harmony, Copper Harmony, Silver Harmony, Pure Harmony, and at the top Absolute Harmony, which is what I sent Vic. PM me for more ... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Yup Harold, the Terminator is a fascinating arm. I have one on order, should be ready maybe later this month. Mine is being made with an uninterrupted run of silver wire from cartridge tags to RCA plugs, a pair of KLE Absolute Silver I just shippe... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? jaybe, I believe you meant to say NYAL Super It pre-amp. Superphon was a brand. | |

| Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver Geez, and digital proponents say LP’s take too much effort?! Ditch my CD’s? I have a lot of music on my 3,000 + CD library, which I am not about to throw away. It is, after all, about the music. Right? | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers transaudio (and anyone else interested), there is an instructional video wherein Jeff Porcaro sits at a drumkit, explaining and displaying how he came up with his part in "Roseanna". Brilliant! Jeff's playing in Boz Scaggs' "Lido Shuffle" is legen... | |

| The longest you have owned any gear? I have a Cecil E. Watts Record Preener rattling around in a box. Before the introduction of the Discwasher in the early 70's, it was THE record brush. | |
| What direction is VPI headed? Don't forget ARC! | |
| the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's An Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 (A, B, C, or D version) can be had for around $500. A great amp for woofers. Yeah, it's an old design, but so are the Quad ESL and Magneplanar. | |
| The best books on music My local public library actually had "Music In The Castle Of Heaven"! It's on my pile now. | |

| Support table or shelf for turntable I'm just happy to see Michael Green's (Room Tune "guru") proposal of component "tuning" by constraining outer structures with spikes falling out of fashion. Wrongheaded then, wrongheaded now, wrongheaded forever! We want decoupling (isolation), no... |
