| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Check out the tasteful and understated looks (like a Scandinavian home!) of the Music Reference RM-200 amplifier. It also sounds real good, Michael Fremer putting it in Class A in Stereophile’s Recommended Components list. | |
| Magnepan Mods The Peter Gunn Maggie mod (Magnestand) is rather controversial. He not only removes the magnetic-planar drivers from the Magnepan MDF frames and installs them in real nice hardwood ones, he abandons the stock cross-over and uses a completely redes... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? shadorne, stoked you like it! I’ve been following Chris for years, both solo (some albums on Sugar Hill) and in The Desert Rose Band (a great group, with not only Chris, but also Herb Pedersen and Telecaster master John Jorgenson of The Hellecaste... | |
| 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. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Stan Lynch was perfect for Petty, a real fine "song-player" drummer---very musical. By the way, after Lynch left Petty (for very understandable reasons), he took Don Henley's advice to him and pursued a career as a songwriter, having a couple of h... | |
| 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... | |
| Best wishes for Tom Petty I neglected to mention that Petty can be seen playing bass in at least one early Dwight Twilley Band video, and also their appearance on Dick Clark's American Bandstand TV show. | |
| Best wishes for Tom Petty Here's a Tom Petty story:Tom and the rest of Mudcruntch left Florida, heading for Los Angeles to get a record deal. The Dwight Twilley Band (Dwight and his partners, Phil Seymour on drums and vocals, and guitarist Bill Pitcock IV) already had thei... | |
| 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. |
