| Best small used monitors under $1000 Some great suggestions here. Another is the Eminent Technology LFT-16a, a magnetic-planar/dynamic woofer hybrid that retails for $1250. | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Actually, you can get the Mogami Gold Studio balanced 6’ cable (which comes terminated with a Neutrik XLR) for about $45/pr at Guitar Center. | |
| Tune of the Day "Love Hurts" is a fabulous song Slaw, and Gram & Emmylou's a fine version. I hope you have also heard the original by The Everly Brothers, even better imo. | |

| garrard 301 and its' restorations Yeah, that's the one folkfreak. Brooks told me he was involved in it's design, and used one as his shop's main table for a few years before his death. I don't know what happened to it, but Brian doesn't have it. Sheila has sold off a lot of Brooks... | |
| garrard 301 and its' restorations The video on the Cardas website shows George lowering the arm on his very expensive turntable (that really complicated acrylic one with a woman’s name attached to it---the name escapes me at the moment), onto a somewhat warped LP. George, why not ... | |
| 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... | |
