| Where to get a reliable Cryo treatment service for Power cord? What does the treating of a power cord or speaker cable (or interconnect for that matter) do? Sonically, I mean. | |
| Audio Research Factory Tour The one thing missing from the tour was the most important---the circuit designer(s) and their "laboratory". I went to a number of in-store appearances by Bill Johnson, and asking him about his ARC designs was always a goldmine of information. Whe... | |
| MM/MI Phono Stages Darkstar, if you want to go SS take a look at Peter's Liberty B2B. I saw and heard it at last year's T.H.E. Show in Anaheim, and it's real nice. For tubes, Herron does some direct sales, and may occasionally take a VTPH-1mm in on trade for a -2 (m... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Ah, "Loan Me a Dime", also my favorite bit of Duane's playing. The highlight of Scagg's first album. The first time I saw Boz on stage was when he was rhythm guitarist in The Steve Miller Blues Band, before the blues was dropped. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Nick Lowe: The ConvincerMarshall Crenshaw: #447Steve Earle: EssentialThe Flamin' Groovies: Groovies Greatest Grooves (in preparation for seeing them live this coming Friday. Haven't seen them since '81, when the Group I was in opened for them in S... | |
| MM/MI Phono Stages Being a dedicated user of a very high output pickup, I like you did not want to pay for an extra gain stage (or step-up transformer) I wouldn't be using. So I gave Keith Herron a call to see if he had the long-since discontinued VTPH-1mm laying ar... | |
| how do you handle your clean records? There are two ways to remove an LP from it’s inner sleeve: with your left hand (if you’re right handed) tilt the LP in it’s sleeve and let it slide out, an edge of the LP coming to rest in the palm of your right hand.....or with that right hand re... | |
| Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers Bruce Thigpen, designer and maker of the high-value best-buy Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker, not only describes that speaker's crossover but puts a diagram of it on his website for all the world to see. Nothing to hide, unlike the maker of ... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Oops! The formula is actually 1/(2 x pi x f x z), where f = desired frequency, and z = amp's input impedance. Misread my own writing! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Rembrandts did the theme song for the TV show Friends, and had another hit single, I believe (but can’t for the life of me recall the song). They kinda seem to me like an American version of Squeeze. For anyone trying to follow the musical thr... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Grays! Okay ghosthouse, you win. You must also know about Great Buildings, the group Danny Wilde and Phil Solem were in before The Rembrandt’s. The singer/songwriter I was playing with in 1980-1 loved GB, so we went to their show at The Starwo... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Here’s the formula for determining the value of the capacitor (in pf) you need to solder onto your amp’s input jacks (the interior of the amp is the best location) to achieve the 6dB/octave filtering:1/(2 x pi x f x 2), where f = the desired "corn... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Sure. I believe you can send me a pm through the Audiogon system. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists I prefer to think of Blues as the father of Rock 'n' Roll, Hillbilly (Country & Western) it's mother ;-) . | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Good catch Kenny---your thought had occurred to me after my last post. One point of stating how well the OB/Dipole Sub works with planars is because they (planars) are so notoriously difficult with which to get a sub to blend seamlessly. If a sub ... |
