| Help needed for isolation under the power amps Not yet on the Minus K, jazz, though I really want one for my table. At around $2500, it'll have to wait. | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Regarding Johnny Burnette, it's the music of the Trio ya'll want to hear, not Johnny solo. After R & R died off in the late 50's (Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran died, Carl Perkins joined Johnny Cash's band, Johnny himself got addicted to speed ... | |

That's a new one on me! There is one song on "LAT" approaching RAB, with a real nice jump blues/shuffle feel....."... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound It's so funny that both Gordon Holt and Harry Pearson came to strongly disapprove of the magazines they founded and ran. Of the two, TAS is far worse imo, presenting company-written copy as editorial content. | |

| Motorized volumepoti for AR LS 25 MK 2 If there is a way for you to hear an EAR-Yoshino 868 pre, it comes standard with a remote-controlled motorized volume pot. It was found to have better sound than the ARC Reference 3 by Robert Levi, President of The Los Angeles and Orange County Au... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Brooks (R.I.P.) himself loved Jadis products, as does the Brooks Berdan Ltd. tech Tom, who very much approves of their design and build quality. | |
| Linn sondek vs sme The hardcore Linn Sondek enthusiast (not to mention dealer!) is talking about a different thing than non-Linn turntable owners/users/dealers when speaking of a table's quality. Linn's whole rational and priority is in how a table "plays the tune",... | |
