| Atma Sphere M60 owners...... Why don't you just call Atma-Sphere? Ralph doesn't bite! | |
| Phono Interconnect Sam, you may not have heard of Mogami because is not a quote unquote audiophile brand, but is very well known and widely used in the Pro Sound world (recording studios, live sound reinforcement, musical instrument patch cords). Lots of other compa... | |
| Nottingham resonance control Tubehead, I've been eyeing the Segue ISO myself, for use with my Townshend Rock Elite table. But then there's also the Townshend Seismic Pod, which is also a spring isolator. Decisions, decisions! | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Needing the space to haul around drums (to gigs and Vintage Drum shows, etc.), in 2000 I bought the last remaining new Chevy Tahoe Ltd. (the last version of the classic "square" Tahoe body style) available in California. Because of it's limited pr... | |
| Solid state power + tube pre or visa versa? The only thing I can add is that I wince whenever I read someone say they want to put a tube something (often a pre-amp, but sometimes a buffer) in their system "to add some warmth" or "to warm it up". What an un-HiFi concept! I saw that comment m... | |
| Why does most new music suck? There is the old quote attributed to Duke Ellington, I believe: "There are two kinds of music.....good, and bad". I've also seen it ending as "good, and the other kind". But that doesn't really help, as different people put the same music in the t... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Yeah, very politically incorrect Marty! | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game A great discussion, Lewm and Johnnyb. There is one playback scenario not mentioned, the one I use. I have a fair number of 50's and early-to-mid 60's mono LP's, and in addition to my main pre-amp I have been using one (ARC LS-1) with a mode switch... | |
| SME turntables Right you are, Rzado, the table I was referring to is the SPJ La Luce. Brooks mentioned he had consulted on the design, but didn't get specific. Brooks had a working knowledge of suspension tuning from his days in race car design, and applied it t... | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Okay, ARC charges $510 for the cover. Shame on them. But shame on he who buys one, too. ARC has learned how much their repeat customers are willing and able to pay for ARC product. The only thing that will change that is for those customers to sto... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Real good post Oregonpapa. I know a guy who compares all new music to the British Invasion era, being absolutely and forever obsessed with it, especially The damn Beatles. He is constantly bemoaning the fact that his favorite style music is no lon... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers I don't remember knowing that you own Rythmik subs, Marty (of course, my memory is really becoming spotty). Aren't they great?! A bunch of different models now, including the very special DIY OB/Dipole model for planar speaker owners. Little by li... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? Eminent Technology, Sanders. | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? Would it be safe to say that the Esoteric will still be operating perfectly when the Oppo gives up, given the difference in build quality between the two? | |
| SME turntables Very true Taters. Have you been to his son Brian's shop (Audio Elements) in Pasadena yet? Brooks trained him well, and he is one of the best dealers in S. Ca, with some great lines. |
