| Fuses fuses fuses Great movie. I think Fonda bought the rights to the screenplay, putting a lot of work into getting the movie made. He was a lifelong bleeding-heart liberal, as people like my Pa saw him. He was also in The Grapes Of Wrath, another movie sticking u... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Oh well bigkidz, Danny Gatton is in a class by himself, as I have said here a few times. Vince Gill, himself a very fine player (not to mention singer) nicknamed him "The Humbler". Gatton is just ridiculous!milpai, it was of Knopfler I was speakin... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? The price of the Mye stands is not inconsiderable (though not exorbitant), so if one wants to get an idea of the improvement they can provide to the sound of a pair of Maggies before ordering a pair, find a way to brace the top of the speakers. On... | |
| How many LP's I'm very interested in the Trans-Fi arm Terry, as the designer/manufacturer pictures it on his website with a London Reference pick-up mounted on it. How cool is that?! I few of the Decca/London owners on the Lenco users site swear by the arm too.... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses I’m bound to regret this, but just can’t resist. So, on one side we have Ralph Karsten and Roger Modjeski (as well as almarg and other posters here)---two of the best living audio engineers in the world (I obviously place value in "authority"), an... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Chet Atkins thought highly enough of Mark's playing to record an album with him. I love his guitar playing, but don't think much of his singing or songwriting. Being a great guitarist is enough! | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Very cool. Rather than being a "tour of his guitar collection", it is more an examination of musical playing styles, with a handful of his guitars used to demonstrate them on, and an explanation of what makes one guitar preferable or more suitable... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Was he weaving a magic carpet? | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system sbank's suggestion has merit. Guitar Center sells the 3’ Mogami Gold Studio balanced cable (with Neutrik XLR’s) for $39.95, the 6’ for a few bucks more. Recording studios use them for their mics. If you don’t like it, take it back. No audiophile b... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Lay it on us Bill! | |
| How many LP's 100 LP's? Why bother? With the cost (and inconvenience) of a good turntable/arm/cartridge player, and the cost of new LP's and a (at least) vacuum cleaner, to go to all that trouble for only one hundred LP's seems out of proportion. IMO.Organizing... | |

| Magnepans and Rock Everyone has their own idea of what reproduced music should sound like, depending on their reference. It seems to me that since live Rock music is always heard through a sound reinforcement system (a "P.A."), a listener of primarily that music mig... | |
| How many LP's I hear ya Mitch! Reaching a certain age is sobering in a number of ways, the time remaining for listening to music being a major one. So, in preparing for the last relocation of my life, I went through my LPs, of which there were somewhere around ... | |
| Cable manufacturers? Cardas either makes his, or has it made for him. Lots of other companies buy their wire from him, including Audio Advisor/Pangea. |
