| Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor Brad, I have a Rega-specific Wallytractor I no longer need (sold my RB300). I believe Wally has health issues, and is no longer producing his products. It was quite an ordeal getting my protractor from him after sending him the $. I had to get Fre... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Even better folkfreak, let me know when you have tried the Sistrum, and I'll take you up on your offer and come over and hear your speakers with the Townshend Seismic platform, and then the Sistrum. | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Yeah Slaw, consider yourself fortunate to have nabbed your Rock! They don’t come up for sale often, their owners often never finding another table they would rather own. I hope to someday find a Rock Reference, reportedly the best of all versions.... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... As chazro said, Little Village is the group Ry had with John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, and Jim Keltner. That same line up is also on Hiatt’s Bring The Family album, the first they did together. BTF has much better songs than does the Little Village album ... | |
| EAR vs Audio Note preamp Speaking of Atma-Sphere pani, don't overlook Ralph's two full pre-amps. They're REAL good, and rather than discontinuing and replacing them every couple of years (ala ARC), he instead offers current owners updates. A MUCH better deal for owners, a... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature I’m playing with a guy who does a nice version of "Tangled Up In Blue", and I’m going to suggest adding "Watching The River Flow" to his repertoire. It’s a forgotten gem of a song from the early 70’s, performed in a blues shuffle feel. Real fun to... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Levon Helm, John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement, plenty of others. | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? Mapman, that is absolutely ridiculous, and I share your outrage. Not only is Sting not American, neither is his musical style or influences. Whores! | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Great Slaw, Max is a really nice guy, and a very talented designer. He also makes cables, loudspeakers, a ribbon super-tweeter, and State-Of-The-Art isolation feet named Seismic Pods. Townshend products aren’t common or well known in the U.S., the... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... 2nd on the John Hiatt album. Ry's solo on "Lipstick Sunset" is just incredible. His playing is not about "flash", but taste, economy, and lyricism. Ry is sort of the anti-Hendrix ;-). A fun Ry album is Bop Till You Drop, from 1979. The first digit... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, the play in the bearing of your Mk.7 Rock is troubling. The Elite Mk.2 version of the Rock (what I own) has an inverted bearing, the spindle being fixed to the plinth (rather than to the bottom of the sub-platter or full platter in tables ha... | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, I don’t know the viscosity of Townshend’s silicone. I do know that some Rock users have experimented with thinner versions, but I’ve used only the stuff that came with my table, the old Elite version. My table’s spindle was very close in dia... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature There is a 7:55 minute video on YouTube, posted by what sounds like an academic who calls himself Nerdwriter1. It is entitled "Why Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize: All Along the Watchtower explored". Here are the author's opening lines, spoken over ... | |
| help buying irs beta The ET's are rather insensitive (but not as much so as the other magnetic-planar, Magneplanars), but coherency is one of it's strong points; a single driver covering 180Hz to 10kHz! The incoherence Robert Greene talked about in his TAS review was ... | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... The Beatles will be known for their hit singles, same as Elvis. But albums? Too spotty imo, especially after Revolver, their last real good one.Never has a receiver, Realistic or otherwise. I went straight from a Fisher X100 tube integrated to Mac... |
