| Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review I wonder how long it will be 'til the Ref 6SE is introduced and makes the Ref 6 sound broken ;-). | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear The Fulton J’s! I bought a pair from John Garland in ’74, which replaced Tympani I’s in my system. Another rare and excellent speaker is the ESS Super Quad. It consisted of the original Quad ESL for midrange, a transmission line-loaded KEF B139 wo... | |
| Shorten my speaker cables? If you cut each 16' cable in half and terminate the new ends with spades or bananas, you'll have two pair of 8' cables, great for bi-wiring or going "shotgun" (two cables for each non-biwired speaker). | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma Kalali, the Magneplanar's require at a minimum 3' of space between them and the wall behind them, 5' being even better. Lots of better-halfs don't care for that! If you want to go dipolar, with the volume of your room the 3.7 will be better at fil... | |
| Phono cartridge advice It's hard to get good help these days ;-)! | |
| Phono cartridge advice I've heard before of a cleaning person breaking off a stylus. I'm curious---do many of you actually let your cp dust your turntable? Why?! The girl who does our house isn't even allowed in the music room to vacuum, let alone dust. | |
| Music you Hated but now Love zimwig---Give Greg Brown's wife a try now. Iris Dement is very special. Her first three albums are more Country than later ones, in which she has gone back to her Gospel roots. | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it I didn’t actually love these two guys, just liked them. But boy do I dislike them now. Elton John and Tom Petty. | |
| Your favorite one-man band! Great subject!Dave Edmunds, the fantastic Welsh guitarist, singer, and producer (The Everly Brothers, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Stray Cats, his and Nick Lowe’s Group Rockpile, many others). His first two albums Rockpile (album title, not the ... | |
| Wes Phillps has passed away Damn, what was his age? | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? I shoulda made making money a higher priority than I did. Too late now! | |
| Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it My taste changed radically in 1969 (my teen-combo opened for The New Buffalo---the remnants of Buffalo Springfield. Watching and listening to Dewey Martin play my drumset, with Bobby's brother Randy Fuller on bass, I had an epiphany. Just like "TH... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? I could be happy with an all-Herron, Atma-Sphere, or Jadis system of electronics. Maybe Sanders too. | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? It used to drive me crazy when some (usually British) reviewers would, in a review of a new table, use a different arm and/or cartridge on that table and a reference table, then purport to describe the differences in sound between the two. Duh! A ... | |
| Single ended vs xlr balanced And don’t forget Ralph Karten’s (Atma-Sphere) argument that balanced cables minimize the sonic artifacts of single-ended cables. |
