| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... It's a major coincidence that just as Springsteen was being touted as Rock and Roll's future, it's actual future was making it's debut---The Ramones with their first album! Far more influential to Rock n' Roll than Springsteen, or anyone else sinc... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... That "I've just seen the Rock and Roll future" (NOT "the future of Rock and Roll" as is often misquoted) was written by Jon Landau, then a reviewer at Rolling Stone. He parlayed that highly-influential review into a management gig with Bruce. My f... | |
| Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm Oregonpapa: As Elliot is within driving distance of you, that means Brooks Berdan (R.I.P.) also was. Did you prefer Elliot's work to that of Brooks, when he was alive? Brian Berdan, who trained by his father in turntable set-up (Brooks' claim to f... | |
| DAC/Preamp with Balanced Outputs $2500 new/used Another way to go is with the DSPeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core. It is a room correction device, but also contains a D/A converter with respectable sound, and a simple pre-amp with both RCA and balanced XLR outputs. All for $1095, I believe it is. | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 Mike Sanders is a lot like Roger Modjeski---both excellent tube circuit designers whose Quicksilver Audio and Music Reference (respectively) products don't get much attention, for some reason, flying below the radar. I'll bet it sounds great Yogi,... | |
| Best Used Phono preamp around $2500 Both the Herron VTPH-2 and Allnic H-1201 have been selling for under $2500 lately. | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar For anyone finding atmasphere's discussion of the bearings used in the Triplanar important in their consideration of tone arm design, or even just interesting, let me direct you to the Wikipedia entry (I don't know how to attach a link---I gotta l... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The discussion of a musician's sense of time brings to mind a singer whose timing drives me nuts, and you hear him at many audio shows---Willie Nelson. I don't mind a singer having flexible or elastic phrasing (pulling ahead of or falling behind t... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... I like what Cyril Jordan (The Flamin' Groovies) said about the Pistols album: Every song is in the same key---now THAT'S simplicity! | |
| Help deciding which TT Your current table and the ones you list are all non-suspended subchassis designs. A suspended design might work better in your room. | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I'm not the first to say that the basic premise of the 901 is fatally flawed. Bose determined that the sound reaching the audiences ears in a concert hall was 11% direct from the stage and 89% after reflecting off the walls, floor, and ceiling of ... | |
| Anyone Try this? Nobody goes for the "roller bearing" isolation concept as proposed by audiophile recording engineer Barry Diament, ay? | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I don't think audiophiles ever considered 901's a high end speaker. J.Gordon Holt trashed them in his Stereophile review when they were introduced. I saw/heard them in two stores in the Santa Clara Valley in 1971---in the "best" room at Pacific St... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Ha! Yogiboy, I know some guys who constantly complain that the music they like (often British Invasion) isn't popular anymore. I gave up reminding them that their parents said the exact same thing about The Beatles (who seem to have a lot of the c... | |
| Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124 Would the old VPI PLC work with the TD-124 motor? There are a couple for sale on AudiogoN at the moment. |
