| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? steven-cal, Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia (just east of Pasadena) is a Magico dealer. I'm sure they would be happy to demo the speakers for you.I assume the Orange county dealer you are referring to is Absolute Audio. | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Fantastic! The best sections are where the host sits at a piano, explaining the technical construction of the songs. There is a video on You Tube of a musical theorist sitting at a piano, explaining and demonstrating the construction of Brian Wils... | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Audiomods Classic II. The British designer/builder uses the best Rega arm tube (only), machining all the other parts himself. | |
| What Audio Research preamp would be an upgrade to my LS2B hollytone22---Wait a year and buy the LS28 Mk.2 ;-). It will no doubt "make the LS28 sound broken". Or get an Atma-Sphere Mp3 or Ear-Yoshino 868. Both are available as line stage only or as line & phono stage, so you can ditch the PH3, a dated... | |

| Did you know....? Chris, there’s a new book out by Ed Ward, entitled The History of Rock & Roll (Volume One 1920-1963). There is a fair amount of information new to me about The Beatles very early days, and the pre-Elvis roots of R & R. Well worth anyone’s ... | |

You should definitely buy from a hi-fi dealer who is competent at cartridge installation and alignment, and turntable/tonearm set-up and adjustment. If ... | |
| Did you know....? No Chris, but I do know that that album is one of, if not the, most over-rated albums in history. In my opinion, of course! Amongst The Beatles albums, I much prefer both Rubber Soul and Revolver. | |
| Bad vinyl Wolf, I long ago bought a piece of acrylic and had it cut into a 12" circle with center hole, to use for setting anti-skate. Then I learned that a blank disc is inappropriate for such a task, as anti-skate compensation includes the friction and in... | |
| Autographed Albums One autograph I would like to have is that of eccentric pianist Glenn Gould. I love eccentricity. | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Two of my faves have already been mentioned---Al Jackson and Duck Dunn of The MG’s, and the two drummers of The Funk Brothers (the Motown house band) plus their best-in-the-world bass playing partner, the one-and-only James Jamerson.To those I wou... | |
| Balanced v unbalanced input to Ayre preamps 600 ohms is still the standard in recording studios, at least according to Tim de Paravicini, designer of the EAR-Yoshino electronics and many pro studio installations (including Pink Floyd's London one). | |
