| 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. | |
| Review: Bedini Electronics BA-801 Amplifier Yeah autospec, it's the original version of the 25/25, not the Meg whatever version. I used it for years with a pair of old Quads, as did many others. That pairing is legendary. | |
| Bands who'se names describe thier sound. Amen. Not only three lead singers and three songwriters, but drummer Levon Helm also played harmonica, guitar, and mandolin, pianist Richard Manuel played drums (very musically and interestingly), bassist Rick Danko played tuba, and organist Garth... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Aniwolfe’s ET LFT-8b suggestion is a good one. The speaker has a 3-position tweeter switch (x/o frequency 10kHz!), the low setting providing the soft highs you desire. Some speakers sound the opposite of soft not because of frequency response and ... | |
| Bands who'se names describe thier sound. I did not want to be the one say it boxer (I already bore everyone enough with my Band ravings ;-), but you got it. Their name came from the residents of Woodstock, who came to think of Bob Dylan’s band as their own local Band (Woodstock is a smal... |
