| For older guys In the mid-70’s I was playing in a Jump Blues/Swing band, and the singer was quite a character. He had a pompadour (in the 70’s?!), wore suits casually, had a 78 collection, and smoked reefer. You know, a "cat". He proposed we do Sinatra’s "That’s... | |
| Anyone else try this? Why no anesthesia Geoff, why?! My sister is afraid of not waking up from it, but she's neurotic. | |
| Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63 Not to be contrary georgehifi, but the Rythmik 8" sub is no faster than their 12" or 15". All the Rythmik subs are servo-feedback designs, with the behavior of the woofers controlled by the s-f circuit. They all sound very similar, the Rythmik des... | |
| Pass Labs Amen, Bill. Musicians eat cheap so they can buy expensive vintage instruments. It’s unfortunate, but a lot of them listen to music on computers these days, and I don’t mean hirez digital streaming. It is because music is SO important to us that we... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? No Kenny, I just learned of the IsoAcoustic company and their line of speaker bases, the GAIA, and now Iso-Pucks (sold individually for $30 apiece, and intended for components, not speakers) . The Pucks were just introduced last month at an indust... | |
| For older guys Another guy similar to Perry Como was Andy Williams, who made some music I really like. They both had songs by the best writers around at the time. Andy's "Can't Get Used To Loosing You" and "Moon River" (written by Henry Mancini, of course) are f... | |
| Best Debut Albums Oh yeah, the 1st Jeff Beck, good one! Deja Vu has also reminded me of the great C,S &Y debut album. | |

| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Hear, hear schubert! I am not familiar with Van Alstine's "Vision", but in the 80's I had his redesigned Dynaco PAS, and it was better than my ARC SP-3! | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard I unfortunately can’t think of a single "Pop" album I love both musically and sonically. Those two qualities seem to be mutually exclusive in Popular music, at least as far as my taste in that music is concerned. Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman ... | |
| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud I accept U.S. Postal money orders as payment for the vintage drums I deal in, but I take the mo to my Post Office, where they give me the cash for it. They look up the number to make sure it's legit, then hand over the dough. Only then do I ship. ... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Thanks John, I’ll do that when I return from my trip next week down to SoCal to get the rest of my stuff and haul it up here to Vancouver.Kenny, the individual Seismic Pods can be used in sets of three rather than four, as long as their combined w... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? So Kenny, are you going to get the Seismic Bars for your main speakers as well?! I’m relieved the problem wasn’t with the OB/Dipole Subs themselves (I saw your recent posts about this subject on the AudioCircle GR Research Forum), as I recommended... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? The research whose findings ended up being incorporated into the Rock turntable was done at the Cranfield Institute of Technology in England. Max Townshend licensed the rights to the design and ran with it, incorporating his own ideas into the dif... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Well Tempered designer Bill Firebaugh states that at music frequencies, the silicone fluid in the cup provides a high degree of rigidity, but at very low frequencies (where LP warps live) a desirable amount of freedom of movement. Townshend Rock t... |
