| A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner? Thanks for hipping me to the TransFi, Terry. Vic just notified me mine will be ready at the end of the month. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas! | |
| Why do turntables sound different? There is one table that sounds different from ALL others---the various incarnations of the Townshend Audio Rock. It is the only one ever made to feature damping at the front/cartridge end of the arm, rather than at it’s rear/bearing end. Though no... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection All right, I’m back.jafant, here are the major books on Dylan:- No Direction Home by Robert Shelton. Shelton wrote the rave review in The New York Times of a Dylan Greenwich Village live performance in 1961 that got everyone’s attention. A basic b... | |
| Thorend TD-125 Tonearm/Cartridge recommendations? Cartridge selection is way too much a matter of personal taste to make without hearing for ones self. For instance, I love London's, but would never recommend them to anyone else. Arms is a different matter, but you'll probably want to specify a m... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection I like the issues raised here since my posting, but left yesterday morning for an out-of-town gig from which I have just arrived home, and am beat. I’ll add some more thoughts tomorrow. Thanks everybody! | |
| What direction is VPI headed? Getting the last 2-3mm is what cartridge alignment is all about! 2-3mm off is NOT okay---that's grossly out of alignment. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i/3.6 owners- Free stands...new prototype development Well, I like your attitude at least! A website with pics would be great---any plans for that yet? | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Didn't your dealer help you set them up? At his margin he should---that's part of what you paid for, dealer service. | |
| Cable Risers/Elevators revisited Empty toilet paper cardboard tubes glued together. Almost free. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i/3.6 owners- Free stands...new prototype development Better than the Mye stands? Cheaper? Any plans for the old 3-panel Tympanis? | |
| Via Jazz FM 91 - The Devaluation of Music The decline of western civilization. Short attention spans, constant distraction, poor educational system (in the U.S., at least), the dumbing down of everything. celebrity idolization, and on and on. I'm glad I won't be around to see how much wor... | |
| confused: which turntable cartridge used with Audible Illusions Modulus ? Ray’s recommendation of the VPI/Jelco combo is a real good one. I myself would much rather have that table and arm than the Rega 3.The AI Modulus pre is not a good choice for a very high output cartridge like the Elys 2. Not so much because of it’... | |
| 2.1 tube pre with ht bypass? The Audio Research LS-15/16/17, and 25/26/27 pre's have a processor pass-through input. The 15/16/17 can be found used for under $1500, the 25/26/27 for $2500 or so. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nutty, Badfinger's two managers, after the group had made a lot of money, took it all and disappeared. Members Pete Ham and Tom Evans committed suicide, the other two are still around. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Inna, you did miss at least one open reel deck---my Revox A77, bought new in '72 and still in my possession. |
