| Tapping on my table The Bright Star sand box was named Big Rock, and came in many different sizes. I found silica "sand" at a building supply yard for eight bucks for a hundred pound bag. Silica is a non-organic man made product similar to sand, used for sand blastin... | |
| Tom Petty Box Sets Petty's original label was MCA, and their LP's were about the worst in the industry. Thin, warped, often pressed off-center, and noisy. These new versions gotta be better! | |
| Treble panel for Quad 57 electostatic loudspeaker Things are already getting much better, and Trump hasn't even taken the oath of office yet! ;-) | |
| Tapping on my table The Townshend Audio Seismic Pods and/or Platform deal with exactly your problem sjtm. Watch the You Tube video in which Max describes and explains their design, and then demonstrates their effectiveness at providing isolation. Three or four of the... | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... Some interesting thoughts simao. I just have to comment on one of them, however. While your high school seniors rarely listen to or aren't even aware of, for instance, The Band, that in no way proves they won't still be listened to in fifty years.... | |

| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, a while back Max was offering an arm that was a heavily-modified Rega 300, with the outrigger assembly built into the front end of the arm. It's model name and number was Excalibur 3, and retailed for $2500. The classic arms found to work es... | |

| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Surprisingly (to me, at least) dweller, playing guitar on Beefheart's first album (Safe As Milk) was a young....Ry Cooder! | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Bowie wasn't American, of course. French or Russian? Who cares! | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? There was so much mythology surrounding Beefheart, wasn’t there? Remember the 1971 Rolling Stone interview in which Don said "The phone’s gonna ring"? And it did! Perhaps he set it up. That five octave range claim was part of his press packet (War... | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? I’m with you on this Raul. The "too controlled" sound some characterize the Rock as possessing is imo the lack of table/arm/cartridge resonances. But then I’m a London user, and it benefits more than most other cartridges from the damping!Geoch, t... | |
| Which song has fewest words ever? Maybe not the fewest words, but "Dan Blocker" by Gurf Morlix hasn't many, and they're great ones. On his album Toad of Titicaca, Gurf was Lucinda Williams' original guitarist/bandleader/producer. | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? "Over-damped" implies there is an optimal amount of damping. At one time, the Linn Sondek and Oracle Delphi were considered the two best tables available. Their designs could not have been more different; the Oracle employed damping (particularly ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? This reminds me---I need to check out absinthe, a liquor I’m as of yet unfamiliar with. |
