| No Vocals from Grateful Dead RSD LP Aw, I was kiddin’ (sorta). I’d much rather listen to the slightly flat, stiff singing of Jerry and Bob (they are rather awkward singers, not sounding like it comes naturally to them, and not good at phrasing) than the perfect intonation of "entert... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Actually, I have both. But I certainly wouldn't put a HFTF in my tube power amps! | |
| Fuses fuses fuses The designer, and the U. S. distributor of, the Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse have confirmed one "fact"---that neither knows what "high breaking capacity" in terms of fuses means. That is a rather basic fuse design element, so what else don't they know about ... | |
| 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... | |

| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Noromance is not alone---there are a number of multiple-time Quad ESL owners around. Hard to live with, hard to live without. | |
| No Vocals from Grateful Dead RSD LP Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they useta say ;-). | |
| I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm Decca made a motorized cueing arm with a hard-wire control in the 70's, but I've never seen a used one for sale. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ferrone's real good, but doesn't really fit into The Heartbreakers, seeming like a hired hand rather than a true band member. | |
| Merle & Iris I've seen Iris live twice. At her show at The Troubadour in West L.A. in the mid-90's, the audience was so quiet and respectful you could have heard a pin drop. In addition to her great songwriting and singing, she has a wicked sense of humor. The... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Danny wasn't a singer, or a songwriter, while Mark is both. Being a guitarist, a singer, and a songwriter makes one a more well-rounded musician, but perhaps Danny focusing on "merely" playing guitar was instrumental (hah!) in him becoming so acco... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Sound Organization is a British distributor. Different outfit. |
