| Tonearm wiring termination---DIN, or RCA jacks? Great Peter, I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing your stuff, and meeting you. I'll be the longhair who isn't Michael Green or Ralph Karsten! | |
| Why so few balanced phono inputs? Any phono cable can be easily converted into a balanced one. Just snip off the RCA's off and solder the two cable leads onto XLR's. Not all balanced phono amps are more complicated than single ended---in depends on how it is implemented. EAR's Tim... | |
| How important is a good rack? That's just like Michael Green, isn't it? I would get rid of that rack altogether, and get something built correctly. Then put a set of Symposium Acoustics Roller Blocks under your table, or better yet, a SA Segue ISO board and then the Roller Blo... | |
| Tonearm wiring termination---DIN, or RCA jacks? Yup, I noticed that Peter. Good thinkin'! Say, are you gonna have a room at the Newport Show later in the month? | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect Another famous player who, when asked if he read music, replied "Not enough to hurt my playing". They say Buddy Rich didn't, but he didn't have to, did he! | |

A grand piano is HUGE, and a good recording of one sounds that way through panels. Through most boxes they sound miniaturized. Panels also create a soundstage ... | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect He's a really good guitarist, and was Brian Wilson's first replacement as touring bassist in The Beach Boys. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? I'll take a Johnny Walker Black on the rocks, with a Grolsch chaser. | |
| Your First System I remember it very well, though it was way back in '69. A Garrard SL55 turntable with a Shure M91e cartridge, plugged into a Fisher X-100A integrated amp (tubed, of course), powering a pair of Acoustic Research 4ax's. I could actually still enjoy ... | |
| who has the best recommended product reviews John, I find Atkinson's measurements very interesting and valuable, as I did with those in Audio Magazine. I compare his test bench results with the subjective reviewer's opinion of the unit being reviewed, to learn what kind of distortion that re... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Well, it took two weeks, but Paypal credited my account the full amount, saying they had recovered the money from the seller. Now I know what to look for. Speaking of which, there is a new listing for an SME V Magnesium for $1100, the buyer having... | |
| Best $10 spent on music... Yep Rock IS a great label, also putting out Nick Lowe's albums. Lots of sales too, as Slaw says. | |
