| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design And potentially the 4th of July for the ARC owner. ;-) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A great album. reubent. The vinyl of the original 1970 pressing was a "mottled" splatter of colors, gray and pink mostly. Is the reissue as well? Great songs, great musicians (including the amazing drummer Jim Gordon, of Derek & The Dominoes).... | |
| New in 2017 MoD on SACD! Gotta get me one. It was Jim KELTNER who was in Little Village of course, not Jim GORDON. They were good friends and L.A. studio drummers, Ry Cooder arranging his recordings around Keltners availability, he's that good. They were both... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Exactly so Spencer. I have a dedicated room and answer to no one but myself, but I have a fairly developed sense of aesthetics myself, and a desire for a nice looking environment in which to listen to music. I don't have to build any "real" bass t... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Spencer---Man are you right about there being a lot of great info about acoustics and rooms from Ethan Winer on Audio Asylum! I did a search there using his name, and the first page came up with 200 threads, and that was just the first page! I got... | |
| New in 2017 I got to see Little Village (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Gordon) live on a soundstage in Burbank, and it was just incredible seeing and hearing John sing and Ry play guitar up close. They did "Lipstick Sunset" from Johns Bring The Family... | |
| Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines Yup Bill, Country/Hillbilly without any trace of Pop, Rock, or other derivatives mixed in to make it more palatable to those who distain the "nasal twang" of the real stuff. You know, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, Hank Snow, Ernest Tub... | |
| New in 2017 Yeah jafant, it’s nice. If you don’t have Rodneys Houston Kid album, it’s absolutely stellar, the equal of John Hiatts Bring The Family, which for me is about as good as it gets. Rodney wrote a book related to the subject matter of the album (auto... | |
| getting into vinyl Frank just said it, but let me emphasize his advice by repeating it: The VERY first thing you should do is buy a good record cleaner. Once an LP groove (each side of an LP is one long continuous groove, from beginning to end) has been damaged, the... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. I've known quite a few people who had multiple copies of favorite albums, one opened for playing and one (or more) left sealed for down the road. When I started hitting all the small mom 'n' pop drug stores in the late 60's looking for monaural ve... | |
| Vibraplane 2212 Have you looked at the MinusK products? I believe they offer larger-sized isolation platforms. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please The subject of 3.6 vs 3.7 (i and non-i versions) has been discussed quite a bit over at the Planar Speaker Asylum and MUG (Magnepan Owners Group). The 3.7 has a very different crossover than the 3.6, and requires different orientation (toe-in) in ... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? The Remains! Good one Slaw. I’ve always loved The Beau Brummels’ version of the Don Gibson classic "Oh Lonesome Me", which I much prefer to Neil Youngs odd take on the song. I recently for the first time heard Marshall Crenshaws recording of Dylan... | |
| Austin Texas area Audio folks? You Austinites are fortunate to be in the same town as Ryhtmik Audio, maker of one of the best lines of subs available. You can acquire them without paying for shipping! | |
| Best value record cleaner/cleaning system Bradf was considerate enough to email me links to information about the "budget-priced" CleanerVinyl version of an osmosis cleaner. At around $700 for the 12-LP version, I do believe I'm gonna get me one! |
