| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! For anyone who hasn’t heard it yet, the sole album by The Shaggs is a real trip. They were a three-sister garage band out of New Hampshire in the late 60’s. That album became legendary for the girls complete ineptitude, and the perverse sense of h... | |
| 6922 Tubes! I'm thinking of getting a pair of that 7DJ8 tube myself, jond. It's a slightly higher voltage version of the 6DJ8, and is used in my line pre-amp. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Wilsons target consumer of a $650,000 speaker is not the hardcore audiophile---the type of person who would employ acoustical treatment in a room, but rather the "lifestyle" consumer. Guys like Fabio, whose Infinity IRS/Krell system was set-up in ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I again attempted to point out the fact that there are a number of cases of acid casualty musicians, this time not naming names but only providing hints that would allow the reader to determine the identities of those musicians, thereby removing a... | |
| Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ? No cabinet is the best cabinet. But that's only one reason why I prefer planars---ESL's, magnetic-planars, ribbons. All but one pair of speaker "cabinets" I do have are actually open baffle frames; the fact that they aren't sealed and are heavily ... | |

| Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP For me, the song is IT. IMO, a lot of Pop music is made by musicians who just use the song as a platform from which to show their stuff. The song to me is the same as the script is to a movie---without it, you got nothin’. I could go on for pages,... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? Great thread nrenter, thanks. I had contributed on it, but had forgotten about it! | |
| New in 2017 I lived at the last stop on the 7 line---Flushing in Queens, during most of '82. I saw a few great shows in Manhattan---Marshall Crenshaw (his "big" band 6-piece line-up), The dB's, Dave Edmunds. Great clubs, expensive drinks! It's nice not having... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ooh, "Chestnut Mare" on Untitled is a great song! I have mixed feelings about this Byrds line-up. Clarence White was a fantastic guitarist, but Gene Parsons (no relation to Gram) was a not-very-good drummer. He over-played like crazy, playing Coun... | |
| Equipment Stand Glass = terrible idea. Don't do it! | |
| New in 2017 Wow Marty, you were into John early! I didn’t catch on to him until Bring The Family, his breakout album. Three blocks from The Bottom Line! You musta seen a lotta great shows. I had only to make the 15 minute drive from Burbank to Hollywood to ge... | |
| Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ? Yeah, the edges of the added outside panels should be chamfered away from the baffle. | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? I’ve been using Last Preservative since it was first introduced in the 1980’s. Designer/inventor Walter Davies did a lot of research into the subject of LP wear, and his products are the real deal, no snake oil. The active chemicals in the Preserv... | |
| What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96? This may be viewed as sacrilege, but let me ask you anyway: Does the Orangutan produce images at a height you find satisfactory? If yes, nothing more need be said. If no, here's a radical idea you could consider: Make stands for the speakers that ... |
