| 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 ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Geez, I go to sleep for a few hours, and my post and four responses get deleted. Wonder what I missed---musta been good stuff!I can’t smoke---makes me very paranoid. I stick to the booze. Lower chakra ;-). | |
| Equipment Rack No, but I went to Ikea to look at them (as well as bookcases for LP storage). For $15, worth a try! Keep the receipt---if you don't like them, return for a refund. | |
| Materials to reduce sidewall flex & vibration ? Yeah, the extra panels attached to the outside of the enclosure. For the interior, an alternative to wooden dowels is threaded steel rods, inserted into the enclosure through holes drilled into opposing enclosure walls, each rod screwed into oppos... | |
| Bands who'se names describe thier sound. There are also quite a few videos on You Tube of Robbie talking about The Hawks/Band. Fascinating. | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Yeah Bill, Pearson had really high ambitions and aspirations for TAS, sometimes unachievable. Moncrieff had his own unique reviewing and writing style (which was to beat a subject to death, saying the same thing three different ways)---whatever ha... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Falcon and Eagle Leo, there are some still available somewhere? Enlighten me! | |
| Review: Schiit Mani phono pre AND Swagman Labs Linear Power Supply (LPS) An interesting design feature of the Mani is the 30dB gain setting for the 5mV output Decca/London cartridges. | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Wow, some great suggestions. I am once again reminded that I’m amongst kindred spirits here on AudiogoN! The mention of Joe Boyd (who does really quality work, starting the great label Hannibal Records) has reminded me of an album produced by Boyd... | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers I wish all pre-amps had a polarity switch on the front panel, as Atma-Sphere's do. |
