| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Chuck Berry underappreciated?! I believe everyone acknowledges Chuck as THE model for Rock & Roll guitar playing. Keith Richards certainly does, as well as the guy whom I feel optimized Chuck's style, Dave Edmunds. | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? You just missed the Herron monos that sold on Audiogon a couple of days ago for $2250, I believe it was. Maybe another pair will come along. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio True Psag. The WWII generation heard unamplified orchestras, both Big Band and Classical, the Korean War generation heard folk singers and acoustic guitars in coffee houses, on college campuses, and at parties, but the Vietnam War generation forwa... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Agear, only in the hair length sense. I too have Norwegian ancestory, the closest I come to Native American is my dad was from S. Dakoda! I used to tan, but stopped when cancer's starting showing up on skin in my 40's. Too much time at the Santa C... | |
| Early Music aka Historically Informed Music There was a similar mag that Gramophone itself was publishing, named Gramophone Early Music. I have issues 1-4 from 1999-2000, which I found at Tower Records. I never saw any more issues, and had forgotten all about it until I saw this posting. Th... | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE I did. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Long hair on a male is not a hippie aesthetic, it's a Native American one. I represent that remark ;-). | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? I put the back of my hand up to the LP before using the brush. If the hairs on my hand stand up, I spray the gun before brushing, then again after. But then, I wash my hands before and after urinating (eww!). | |
| using extra mat VPI 16.5? Margot---Good question, and the answer is, because the vacuum tube is self-leveling, you don't have to worry about any increased pressure. I've been adding the extra mat for dirty records on my HW-17F for years. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Schubert nailed it! | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE To me, the real crux of the ARC update/improvement matter is this: Let's say about ten years ago you had ten grand to spend on a pre-amp (must be nice!). Amongst your choices were the EAR-Yoshino 912 (designed by Tim Paravicini, a man very much li... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Absolutely Marty! I can't believe I had never heard of it until you just educated me. | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE Knghifi- The Music Reference stock transformer is just fine. Excellent, actually, being an original Roger Modjeski design he has manufactured to his specs. But the art of transformer design, and hand winding them especially, is a dying art. Roger ... | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs. Ref 75 SE BIF---It's great to hear that your newish ARC power amps have been trouble free. Everyone (except Tim Paravicini!) seems to feel the tubes being made now are pretty darn good, with lower rates of arcing and shorting than in the past, which is espe... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Marty---Ha! So Chuck "borrowed" that guitar song intro part from Carl, not just songs from Johnnie Johnson, ay?! |
