| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Rick Beato’s examination of a song off Rubber Soul may help those who aren’t die hard Beatles fans understand why others are. https://www.youtube.com/live/4CBa-whiUrQ?feature=share | |
| Which phono stage for Garrard 401 with Shure V15 lll cartridge I had an ARC PH3SE, and replaced it with a Herron VTPH-1mm (moving magnet only, providing 42-44 dB gain. Plenty enough for your Shure). Muchas better. You might have to wait a while for a used one to show up, but it’s worth the wait. The VTPH-1 wa... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses Great post @krelldreams! I’ve heard of some guys using the RM-10 strapped for mono, in pairs. I went to the RM-10 release event at Brooks Berdan’s shop in Monrovia, where Roger discussed the design of his little amp. After the talk I spoke with h... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Dang, I shoulda finished high school. ;-) | |
| A Black Box to Solve Everything Indeed, @jonwolfpell. I wince when I see someone describe an amp as adding "tube warmth" to the sound. That’s not what good tube amps do; what they do is not create the "cold, hard, dry" sound of bad solid state. I always loved the term J. Gordon ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated driving Magnepan .7 with Bypassed Fuses @krelldreams: Have you heard the Music Reference RM-200? Modjeski designed that amp to be unique in two regards: 1- Produce 100 watts (per channel) from a pair of KT-88’s or 6550’s. 2- Play well with low impedance loads (like Maggies). The outpu... | |
| Give Jeff Beck's 'TRUTH' another listen Didja hear what transpired when The Jeff Beck Group played The Fillmore in late-68? As Jeff took off on a mid-song solo, Rod meandered back to the guitar rack, picked one up and strapped it on, and slowly made his way back to the front of the stag... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" As far as I know there is no evidence that Alconox Liquinox detergent and/or Talas Tergitol 15-S-9 surfactant damage PVC/Vinyl LP’s. And who needs alcohol of ANY kind? (except to drink, of course.) My sources tell me 15-S-9 is the best Tergitol in... | |
| Magnepan owners. Fuses or what It's not just the fuses than are sonic-degraders, it's the entire fuse block: it's filled with parts made of ferrous materials (steel). Bypass the entire fuse assemble, and install binding posts of your choice in the stock speaker-connector holes.... | |
| A Black Box to Solve Everything THAT'S the one @clio09! So it's a pre-amp, not an amp. I'd love to hear Nelson and Ralph Karsten discussing the related subject together. Roger Modjeski too, but that's not going to happen. | |
| If you like the music Alison Krauss & Robert Plant have made together..... If I mention I was blown away when I saw Foster & Lloyd live at The Roxy Theater in the late 80's, will I be accused of doing so in order to make myself appear cool? They we SO good! I already knew of Bill Lloyd from his involvement in the Po... | |
| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning @jim94025: I too prefer to vacuum off the water on ultrasonically-cleaner LP’s, and like you own a VPI. What I did was look on the big website for cork and rubber coasters (that are placed under drinking glasses), about the same size as the 4" cen... | |
| A Black Box to Solve Everything About a year ago I watched a video (on YouTube iirc) in which Nelson Pass spoke about an amp he was working on, one that was intentionally designed to add harmonic distortion to the input signal. He also explained the rationale for doing so. I cou... | |
