| Whats on your turntable tonight? shadorne---I read Tom say that Steve came up with ideas that never occurred to him, ideas resulting from his technical training and experience, which Tom and The Heartbreakers don’t share with him . There’s an old saw amongst musicians, that one’s... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? ESS TranStatic I, Quad ESL (single and stacked), Magneplanar Tympani-1D, Infinity RS-1b, Eminent Technology LFT-8b, Magneplanar Tympani-IV and IVa, GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Subs, Rythmik DIY F15HP Kit Subs in 4cu.ft. enclosures. | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Noromance is not alone---there are a number of multiple-time Quad ESL owners around. Hard to live with, hard to live without. | |
| No Vocals from Grateful Dead RSD LP Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they useta say ;-). | |
| I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm Decca made a motorized cueing arm with a hard-wire control in the 70's, but I've never seen a used one for sale. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ferrone's real good, but doesn't really fit into The Heartbreakers, seeming like a hired hand rather than a true band member. | |
| Merle & Iris I've seen Iris live twice. At her show at The Troubadour in West L.A. in the mid-90's, the audience was so quiet and respectful you could have heard a pin drop. In addition to her great songwriting and singing, she has a wicked sense of humor. The... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Danny wasn't a singer, or a songwriter, while Mark is both. Being a guitarist, a singer, and a songwriter makes one a more well-rounded musician, but perhaps Danny focusing on "merely" playing guitar was instrumental (hah!) in him becoming so acco... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Sound Organization is a British distributor. Different outfit. | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Yeah, Roger Modjeski (and Ralph Karsten) are deaf. Amazing how they can, in spite of that, design and build such good sounding electronics (and in the case of Modjeski, ESL loudspeakers). Beethoven incarnate! And you, Geoff, you have designed and ... | |
| Merle & Iris I have been promoting Iris for years now, including here on Audiogon. "No Time To Cry" is indeed a masterpiece, perhaps the finest song written in the past half-century, and I’m not exaggerating. It was Merle singing her praises (a pun I’m happy w... | |
| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . The original Quad ESL was an early one (1957), but went out of production for years, then back in. I believe it is again out of production. How 'bout the Klipschorn? What I find interesting is the once-dismissed but now back in fashion designs---t... | |
| Low-Profile (Right-Angle), High-Quality 15A cable for PS Audio P3? Nathan, did you notice that the Fatwyre cable pictured is a Cardas? | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Modjeski tested the resistance of the Hi-Fi tuning fuses in both directions, and found a difference of 0.038 milliohms. I don't know about 5%, but 0.038 milliohms is an EXTREMELY small difference. I have no doubt that fuse directionality proponent... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker? Jim, the late Brooks Berdan was an Audio Physic dealer in the late 90’s-early 2000’s, and his wife Sheila runs the shop now. They get AP speakers back as trade-ins occasionally, so give her a call and ask her to let you know when they do. The shop... |
