| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary There's a story on the documentary and an interview with Russ Solomon in the current issue of Record Collector News, the freebie mag available at a lot of good record stores. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Me too Czarivey. I still have my Lambdas---they're keepers. | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Speaking of Art Dudley, and the "mono-ness" of the Decca cartridge (as I did above), Dudley talks about that in his review of the Decca Maroon (the entry-level model) in his column in the current (December) issue of Stereophile. | |
| Open Baffle Convert Have you guys heard of the DIY OB/Dipole sub from GR Research/Rythmik? Very special! | |
| Shipping damage I'm with Czarivey on this one. I've been shipping Vintage Drums via FedEx since 1999 without a single incident of damage. I've received drums shipped UPS, however, with less luck. I pack very well, using multiple layers of bubble wrap rather than ... | |
| ELAC Debut B6 speakers Oh, and Andrew Jones joins Danny for a discussion of the design the B6, cost vs. benefit ratio of parts etc., and Andrew's comments on Danny's mod to the speaker. Very interesting, even if you are not thinking of buying a pair. | |
| ELAC Debut B6 speakers Danny Richie has posted graphs (frequency response, waterfall plots, impedance curves) of the Elac B6 with his replacement cross-over for the speaker. You absolutely MUST take a look at them on the GR Research Audiocircle Forum. Be prepared to be ... | |
| Best used floor standers up to $1300 Eminent Technology LFT-8b's. About the same price as Maggie 1.7's, but an easier amplifier load (8 ohms and needing less power) and a built-in 8" cone woofer that blends well with the magnetic-planar panels. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Good story from you too, Statman. I didn't see eye to eye with Brooks on all audio matters, but that was okay. My fondness for the Decca cartridge "amused" him, but he shared my enthusiasm for Quad ESL's (he was a dealer). I think he liked me comi... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 SE Preamps For Sale? Riparian---ARC makes that claim with every new model.Keith---Sunil's right hand man used to be at Brooks Berdan Ltd., working for Brooks' son Brian. Brian has his own shop now (Audio Elements, in Pasadena) and is also a Wilson dealer. I would much... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Oops! I just now read the entire original posting, and I should not have included Iris---she is no rocker! In her place I guess The Who at The Carousel Ballroom (San Francisco) in 1968 ("A Quick One") and '69 ("Tommy").Those shows which I liked at... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts I couldn't possibly narrow it down to five. How about ten?- The Band, Berkeley (CA) Community Center 1969- Rockpile & Moon Martin, The Country Club (Reseda, CA) 1980- Dave Edmunds, NYC 1982- Marshall Crenshaw (5-piece), NYC 1982- Phil Seymour,... | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Just so you'll know, Roger Modjeski is not one of those guys who finds fault with everyone else's designs. He thinks highly of Mike Sanders (Quicksilver), Tim DeParavicini (EAR), and Ralph Karsten (Atma-Sphere), amongst other current designers.Bro... | |
| Artists that use the same song structure... Another 100 % agreement, this time with Marty. I imagine all Baroque also sounds quite similar to those who have yet to hear past the outside surface. Form is only one aspect of music, but yes, the first one heard and recognized. Inside the form a... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Even some of the "better" New Wave music sounds dated and disposable to me now. Stuff that I don't mind hearing, but don't feel a need to own, and wouldn't put on the player myself. Stuff like Squeeze, The Pretenders, Blondie (never liked them, bu... |
