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.

| Safe Way To Transport LPs If you have a serious collection, consider taking a week of vacation, renting a van, and driving them yourself. I did just that, moving my LP's and CD's from Palm Desert, CA to Vancouver, WA. I had to do it before Summer arrived, when temperatures... | |
| 80's iconic artists The Feelies were in the movie Something Wild, playing at Melanie Griffiths characters High School reunion. They have always reminded me of another artist associated with the 70's/80's---Jonathan Richman.Graham Parker really burst onto the scene in... | |

| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Good one, vegasears! I learned just yesterday that a guitarist I played with way back in the late 60’s and early 70’s got drunk on May 5th and drove himself off a cliff in Arizona. He also didn’t put on his seatbelt, was thrown from his truck, and... | |

| Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63 There actually are dipole subwoofers---the OB/Dipole Gradient offered in the 1980’s for the QUAD 63, and the OB/Dipole now offered by Rythmik/GR Research. It consists of a pair of 12" OB-specific woofers mounted on an H- or W-frame---an open baffl... | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Because all properly designed and built amplifiers not in clipping sound exactly the same, of course ;-). But seriously, shadorne's assertation that "well built amplifiers....." can be proven to be untrue by hooking up a low-powered class-A amplif... | |

| Ry Cooder recommendation... Right you are sfar, Ry and Flaco have worked together a lot.infection, Van Vliet was, as expected, like no one else I've ever seen. Said not a word to the audience! His vocals were very low-pitched, and his band played very economically, leaving m... | |
