| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... Amen roxy, about both the imo somewhat over-rated SP, and Squeeze. Squeeze are becoming almost forgotten, but they were one of the very best of their time (late 70’s into the 80’s), if your taste includes "Pop" (a dirty word to some, especially Gr... | |
| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... While you're at it, cut "With A Little help From My Friends" (a dreadful song, with a dreadful Ringo vocal), "When I'm Sixty-Four" (McCartney at his worst), and perhaps even "Lovely Rita" (a mediocre song at best).Both "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Marty, have you seen any of the pics of Lindsey and Stevie when they were in The Fritz Reiner Memorial Band (original name, later shortened to merely Fritz)? They were just another local San Jose cover band, playing at local High Schools and Teen ... | |

| Best small used monitors under $1000 Some great suggestions here. Another is the Eminent Technology LFT-16a, a magnetic-planar/dynamic woofer hybrid that retails for $1250. | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Actually, you can get the Mogami Gold Studio balanced 6’ cable (which comes terminated with a Neutrik XLR) for about $45/pr at Guitar Center. | |
| Tune of the Day "Love Hurts" is a fabulous song Slaw, and Gram & Emmylou's a fine version. I hope you have also heard the original by The Everly Brothers, even better imo. | |

| No Vocals from Grateful Dead RSD LP Aw, I was kiddin’ (sorta). I’d much rather listen to the slightly flat, stiff singing of Jerry and Bob (they are rather awkward singers, not sounding like it comes naturally to them, and not good at phrasing) than the perfect intonation of "entert... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Actually, I have both. But I certainly wouldn't put a HFTF in my tube power amps! | |
| Fuses fuses fuses The designer, and the U. S. distributor of, the Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse have confirmed one "fact"---that neither knows what "high breaking capacity" in terms of fuses means. That is a rather basic fuse design element, so what else don't they know about ... | |
| garrard 301 and its' restorations Yeah, that's the one folkfreak. Brooks told me he was involved in it's design, and used one as his shop's main table for a few years before his death. I don't know what happened to it, but Brian doesn't have it. Sheila has sold off a lot of Brooks... | |
| garrard 301 and its' restorations The video on the Cardas website shows George lowering the arm on his very expensive turntable (that really complicated acrylic one with a woman’s name attached to it---the name escapes me at the moment), onto a somewhat warped LP. George, why not ... |
