| Chuck Berry will be 90 next week. Chuck and Johnnie played clubs and bars together for a while before all those classic Chuck Berry songs were recorded. There are those who believe some of Chuck's songs actually originated with Johnnie, as they were written in "horn keys", not the... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? The old Decca's were extremely variable, each one needing to be loaded to match it's particular performance. The current London's are much more consistent, and can be loaded according to builder John Wright's recommendations.Noromance, the Decapod... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. The Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2 does itself have a 2 ohm tap. Great amp. | |
| Rolling Stones Mono Box Set (lp or cd) Halleluiah! Tostado, I am so weary of The Stones continuing to be held up as The Greatest blah blah blah long after they started sucking. Which was a long, long time ago. Why they weren’t written off after they put out a disco album is an absolute... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Everyone who feels their judgment is superior to the members of the Nobel committee, stop being so selfish and apply for the job. It's not right to keep all that wisdom to yourself; share it with the world. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Thanks Robert, I'll look into your products. Some of the drum company's have introduced accessories designed to allow their drum shells to resonate as long as possible (sustain is very "in" right now in drums), by suspending their mass in free air... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... radfrad, you may already know, but Derringer was in The McCoys, known for their 60's hit single "Hang On Sloopy". | |
| Rolling Stones Mono Box Set (lp or cd) Ian Stewart was the 6th Stone. The pianist on a lot of British invasion records is Nicky Hopkins, heard on albums by The Kinks, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Jeff Beck Group (I saw him live with Beck on the first U.S. tour), The Stones (Satanic Majes... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Yes, the Super Gold needs to be loaded at around 22k ohms resistance with 220pF capacitance, which creates the optimal electronically damped circuit with the cartridge. Another arm worth looking into is the Well Tempered. And if your Super Gold do... | |
| Question for sub woofer users A bigger problem in using subs with the Quads (or any other planar) is getting them to sound "one" with the speakers. Dipole users complain that subs produce bass that doesn't integrate with their speakers, sounding detached, tacked on, and of a d... | |
| Coupling or Decoupling speakers? The Townshend Seismic isolators are also available without the bars, just the Pods themselves. If they work with your speaker cabinets, three of them are much cheaper than are the bars. | |
| Dipole Asymmetry Do you use grand-daddy literally or figuratively, cleeds? Magnepan has probably done more to popularize planar speakers than any other company, but the original Magneplanar Tympani T-I was not introduced until 1971, long after the original Quad ES... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? Love Muleskinner tostado! Rockadanny, Chris Hillman’s solo albums on Sugar Hill are fantastic too, as is his Country group with Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson, The Desert Rose Band.Here’s a warning, of a sort: There are two main strains of Blueg... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Geoff, remember, Sinatra didn't write any of the songs he sang. Kinda hard to give him an award for literature, no? | |
| Chuck Berry will be 90 next week. Oops, forgot Little Richard is also still above ground. The movie Keith Richards did on Chuck (Hail, Hail Rock 'n' Roll) is a must see. To hear Chuck's style perfected (he can be credited with creating it, but is not it's best practitioner!), give... |
