| Setting a price for Spica TC50s The foam surround on the Spica woofer is known to rot (perhaps the cause of your buzzing), and I don't believe that exact woofer is still available. A replacement woofer would most likely require a change in the speakers x/o. Collectors of vintage... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Thanks man. | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? Value-wise, I nominate the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. | |
| Where did you sink the most cash into? In descending order according to MSRP:Line stage pre-amp, phono cartridge, pick-up arm, SACD player, power amp, turntable, phono amp, loudspeakers, subs.The pricing is complicated by the fact that some pieces are DIY, some used, and some vintage. ... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Oh, and add The Who to Jimi and Janis---they were pretty flash at Woodstock. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Wow Tom, may I cry uncle?! You are obviously in possession of more knowledge about Jimi than I. I wasn't aware that Jimi was playing with Hammond, but John sure had good taste in guitarists, didn't he? He had engaged both Robbie Robertson (of The ... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? wolf, where do you recommend going for the Mullard 12AT7's? | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? donzi---What everyone is getting at here is that your Bryston amp and Thiel speakers are so good that they will make very audible the sound quality of the pre-amp you use. The problem is, it's going to be tough to find an active pre for $500 that ... | |
| Helpful and altruistic audio community members Great seller, great story! | |
| Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems... I would take the table and the LP into the store, play the album on your table and the store's "cheap system" for a comparison, and ask the staff to look for the problem (part of the price you paid for the table is for service). I'm assuming the s... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad tomcy6---I'm aware of all you said. But, Jimi went over to England as an unknown, where he was heard by Chas Chandler (bassist in The Animals), who signed him to a management deal. A British band was put together (drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassis... | |
| Stats Don't the Soundlabs ask a great deal of the amp hooked up to them? I've heard them sounding pretty good (in ESL terms, which means great in general speaker terms), but also with what sounded like amp clipping. And that was at CES, where you would ... | |
| Zerostat near cartridge? And the Furtech is on sale right now at one of the online retailers whose emails I receive. Music Direct? The Cable Company? Audio Advisor? I already deleted the email or I would look for it. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I have no doubt that Rap is viewed in certain circles as merely the current phase in the continuing downward spiral of Western Civilization, the dumbing down of humanity. Rock n' Roll was certainly viewed thusly in the mid-50's by the WWII generat... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? And don't overlook Love And Theft, the follow-up to Time Out of Mind. It too is a good one. Produced by Jack Frost (aka Bob himself). |
