| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? stfoth and marty, I have a few times made the case for your exact line of reasoning---the difference between conceptual and real world in regards to loudspeaker strengths & weakness and the demands different "kinds" of music (a string quartet ... | |
| Why Single-Ended? The Tim Paravicini-designed EAR-Yoshino tube circuits are all single ended, the pre-amps and power amps having transformers on the XLR/balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. True. I love the look of matching faceplates, especially ARC's and McIntosh. | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Hey, how did that happen?! I must have signed on through Facebook recently, as that is my Facebook profile pic, playing my first drum on Christmas morning 1954.Damn Chris---one 5 x 5, three 4 x 4? You must have a lotta LP's! I had about 5,000 unti... | |
| Mono questions Great comments fellas, but allow me to make one correction. What studios did in the 60’s (and not just the early 60’s, but all the way through the decade, stereo LP’s not becoming standard until ’68 or so), was not record two separate sessions, on... | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. For $3000, a PH-3se phono stage and an LS-16 line stage might be better than an SP-15, don't ya think? | |
| Feedback through turntable rotaries is absolutely correct; cones and spikes are not isolators, they are couplers---at least, in the very low frequencies needed for turntable isolation. The idea that cones and spikes provide wideband isolation seems to be a deeply-entrenched... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Thanks Jeff, I did not know that. I don’t think the Kallax’s thinner shelves (I believe they are 5/8", 3/4" at most) should be a problem, as they are braced every 15" or so. | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Thanks Slaw, I'll go to the OL site and order one. Thanks for the tip-off! | |
| Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years Slaw, above you stated: "I am not wanting to replace it (the Townshend table) for the VPI Classic 3 Sig SE anytime soon. In the end, I know I will have to. UGH!". I'm unclear on the meaning; do you mean the Townshend will replace the VPI, or visa ... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Remind me Slaw, as I have forgotten: Does the Mk.7 have a sub-platter under the 12" acrylic platter, around which the belt rides? My Elite Mk.2 does, and if the Origin Live belt is of a length for a smaller sub platter I gotta get myself one. | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! spelly, the 25 space Kallax is listed and pictured on the Ikea website at the $199 price (plus shipping), and is priced the same in the Portland Oregon store I went into. I would think that is the price at all Ikea locations, but have no way to ve... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate To replace the AR XA/B tonearm requires some machining. I took my floating subchassis to a machine shop and had them cut out the bearing well, leaving a hole in the chassis big enough for a tone arm mount. The table is a fine design, the arm not s... | |
| Help me get started again. Tube amp... Chris, to the best of my knowledge the RM-200's higher 4 ohm output is unique in the world of tube amps. I wonder how Roger achieved THAT engineering feat! Clever designer, and really swell fella. | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Good idea Glenn. The Kallax 25 space unit is the best deal around at $199, providing almost 30 linear feet of LP storage (almost 6’ wide, and 5 rows high)! If I got the Kallax (I would be getting a number of the 4-space and 8-space units, my rooms... |
