| Why do some dealers 1- A dealer is expected to meet certain quarterly sales objectives by the manufacturer. If he doesn't, the company may drop the dealer and give the line to another dealer in the same sales area. I was a customer of one N. California dealer who los... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I found it so odd that no character in the Seinfeld sitcom was ever listening to music or reading a book. The only system I saw was Jerry's, and it was just as you would expect. | |
| Subwoofer pairing with new Magnepan .7's A pair of Rythmik's are quite nice with the .7's (and 1.7's and 3.7's!). | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Is Dick Olsher still reviewing in TAS? He was the only contributor I liked, after he left Stereophile. Dick is very much from the Gordon Holt school. | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges The only table that is of particular appropriateness for the Decca/London is the Townshend, because of the damping trough endemic to it. One thing to be aware of is that because of the cartridge's unshielded magnets, Decca/Londons can not be used ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Oops, my first sentence is incomplete. The last word was to be "interesting". | |
| Why does most new music suck? I often find what a favorite Artist of mine has to say about another Artist (or entire genre). In the 60's Bob Dylan said Smokey Robinson was our greatest living poet. Not long ago he expressed his approval of and interest in current Rap. Bob has ... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges Art Dudley talks about the Decca cartridge in the December Stereophile (I would provide a link, if only I knew how!). His review is of an older model, and the current London's are considerably improved, from the entry-level Super Gold to the Refer... | |
| Your "eureka" analog moment Decca's were their own worst enemies! You are not alone in giving up on them, almost all of us moving to LOMC's in the mid-70's. The guy who was making them for Decca bought the rights to the cartridge when they decided to get out of the game, and... | |
| Your "eureka" analog moment Barry, have you heard the current top London (Decca), the Reference? | |
| What Are You Listening To Right Now?What is the Source? Another great like J.J. was Danny Gatton, who, though considered the best living guitarist by many pro's (Vince Gill nick-named him "The Humbler"), preferred to stay home and play locally, and work on restoring vintage cars. He's gone now too. | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today The midrange of the Fulton Model J was the FMI 80, mentioned on it's own above by salectric. | |
| 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 ... | |
| TTWeights closing their doors Larry, is your carbon fiber tt mat still available? How does it differ from the Boston Audio mat? |
