| Watched the MTV awards that night No Mapman, it can't. At least I hope not. It's real bottom of the barrel stuff, just trash. But there's always plenty of good stuff happening "underground". For my musical taste (hard country, bluegrass, roots rock, singer-songwriter), the No Depr... | |
| How do you clean the volume pots of a audible m3 . I have read recently that the pots AI uses aren't the longest lasting, and that needing to replace them isn't uncommon amongst long-term owners. If yours are still good, any contact cleaner (in an aerosol can) found at electronic stores should do ... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Since it was a long time ago, it's easy to forget that a viewing of the Grammy's from the mid-to-late 60's and into the 70's, when Rock & Roll was firing on all 8 cylinders, will show that the awards often went to the middle-of-the-road Pop "e... | |
| Sanders 10B Electrostatic I heard the Sanders speaker at this years T.H.E. Show in Irvine, and I've been lusting for a pair ever since---I loved 'em! With Sanders, Ralph Karsten, and Roger Modjeski, you have three very good designers, each of whom will give you a different... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? This is a pretty old amp, and of limited suitability for a lot of loudspeakers, but the little Bedini 25/25 was a favorite for use with the original Quad speakers for those who didn't want tubes. There was also a 10/10, both it and the 25/25 runni... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? Best in the sense of quality versus cost and in personal integrity, Keith Herron is hard to top. If record care products count, Walter Davies of The Last Factory is another person and product of unusually high quality. If these two examples are of... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Mapman and Geoffkait, I'm right with ya. I played the Love and Theft album for some old friends who had lost interest in Bob after that trio of covers albums he did in the 90's, and they were stunned. For a good sounding Dylan album, I'm still wai... | |
| MM cartridges The choice of wire may be a recent development. It's not mentioned anywhere on the Kuzma site, I only learned of it when speaking with Scot Markwell. Silver wire increases the price of the arm quite a bit, more than seems justifiable. There's noth... | |
| MM cartridges Right Pryso, Kuzma arms come standard with continuous wiring from cartridge clips-to-Eichmann Copper Bullet RCA plugs (THE way to do it, IMO), with a choice of copper or silver (at extra cost). Robert Levi has his London Reference on a copper wire... | |
| MM cartridges Thanks Pryso. I put in a call to Scot Markwell at Elite Audio, the U.S. distributor for Kuzma. The Stogi Reference is available with a number of upgrades (silver wire, etc.). The more I look into it, the better it looks. Dick Olsher really likes t... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Rja, you are so right about Meinwald rep-ing great brands. Beside EAR, he does Townshend (the Rock turntable, etc.), Helius (pickup arms and table), and Marten (loudspeakers). His system is always one of the very best at Hi-Fi shows too. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... If "the situation of the working class, veterans, and the needy has been on a steady decline since the 70's", does that not make him (and others like him) of all the more importance? Since he doesn't overdo his "dogoodiness" like some others do (J... | |
| MM cartridges Powder1, the "pod" is called Deccapod, and is a thick chunk of aluminum machined in the exact shape of the Gold/Super Gold body. It replaces the standard flimsy plastic mounting bracket (which is a joke and should be done away with, the Deccapod b... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? The talk of the build quality in EAR products might be the result of Paravicini's distain for audiophile-approved boutique brand "magic" parts. That's he talking, not I. Don't blame the messenger! | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... He's a performer better seen live and in a small club, which hasn't been possible for years now. The energy he creates in an intimate setting is dissipated in a stadium, and he isn't a great recording artist, I don't feel. The people who got to se... |
