| R.I.P Glen Campbell Also the original replacement for Brian Wilson as The Beach Boys touring bass player, when Brian didn't want to go on the road anymore. | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? I know a guy my age (67), a bass player (if you consider a Rickenbacker a bass---I don’t ;-), who does nothing but p*ss and moan about how "good" music isn’t popular anymore, like it was when we were young. It has never occurred to him that he sou... | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... Perhaps I put it incorrectly Lew. One of the two coils in London/Deccas produces the signal created by lateral movement of the stylus armature, the other by vertical. So mono output is just a matter of outputting only the coil responsible for the ... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection The Rythmik subs also provide speaker level connections to a power amp, just like the REL. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? The problem with XLR-to-RCA adaptors is that they’re made of brass, including the Cardas. But then so are most RCA jacks. Apparently copper is too soft. | |

If a 1st order (6dB/octave) high pass crossover is steep enough for you, all that's required is the installation of a capacitor on your power amp's input jacks. The value of the capacitor plus the amp's input impedance determines the "elbow" frequ... | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... The London cartridges can be made mono, and for a very good reason: their design is sum and difference. | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control For any turntable without a spring suspension, the Townshend Audio Seismic Pod is a great way to isolate the table from whatever structure it sits upon. Even better are the MinusK and Newport microscope platforms, but at a cost of over $2k, more t... | |
| Room treatments GIK superior to ASC Tube Traps? Au contraire! | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's.... EAR-Yoshino 868. | |
| Townshend Elite Rock Mk III / Rega RB300 tonearm question Audio Origami in England is well-respected for their Rega arm rewires. They offer Cardas copper and both Kondo and Ikeda silver. | |
| "Is that a record??? " There is a vintage furniture/clothes/knickknack shop in Vancouver, WA (across the Columbia River from Portland, OR) I visit about once a month. When I was there this week I noticed a lot more vendors (each of whom has an area on the floor) offerin... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Actually kosst and soundsreal, binaural recordings are an attempt to do exactly that. Many of them sound amazing on headphones, the only correct way to listen to them. |
