| VPI TNT Turntables ET designer Bruce Thigpen is one of Hi-Fi's true geniuses, and all his products serious over-achievers, very underpriced for their performance capabilities. Why isn't ET higher on the radar?! VPI's are THE table for the ET arm. | |
| AM and FM antenna systems Echo Audio in Portland Oregon had three McIntosh MR78's in their front window last week. A good tuner for those needing high selectivity. I did a search recently for a roof mount yagi antenna, and was dismayed to find the old names (Channel Master... | |
| Should I build plinths or screw spikes into cabinet? guitared---Barry Diament, the guy I heard about the roller bearings from, put his Magneplanar 3.7's on them, and uses slightly inflated bike tires between BB plywood planks for his electronics, even in his professional recording studio.

| Obscure bands Marti Jones, and her producer/husband Don Dixon, as SO good! Don may even be a better producer than T-Bone Burnette (and definitely a better songwriter and singer, not a T-Bone strength, imo). It's a shame he never progressed beyond that amateur D... | |
| Austrailian rock and roll Hoodoo Gurus. Dead Ringer Band (Kasey Chambers' family's Band---her dad, brother, and herself). | |

And if that is the case, is it so only if the connection is unbalanced? If the conne... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever A guilty pleasure of mine as well, tzh21y. Heck, I don't even mind her music, though I wish they hadn't marketed her as Country, thereby depriving real Country singers of some deserved exposure. A real one who also looks real good is Australian Ka... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
