| Proper Room Acoustics/Designs I'll look Foley up. J. Gordon Holt specified that 1:1.6:2.3 ratio long ago, which I took as Gospel for years. Then everyone (Cardas, etc.) starting recommending 2.6 for the last figure. 2.3 seems better to me, being a prime number. I would gladly ... | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? There are a pair of Rythmik F12's new on Audiogon this morning, $1000 the pair. The F12 is a great, great sub. | |
| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit I love that you guys aren't afraid of challenging the common wisdom---that The damn Beatles are IT, nobody can touch them. I've never felt that way, and continually marvel at how their hardcore fans (I know a few) can be so blindly uncritical of t... | |
| Who can service Bedini amps? Excellent! | |
| Squeeze Concert including one odd tidbit Great, great story Marty. I loved Squeeze in their heyday (still have all their LP's, but just sold the CD's), and even saw them live in England in December of '82. Difford & Tillbrook were probably the best songwriters of their generation, I ... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I have no doubt that I will be the first of many to name the obvious first choice, the original Quad ESL. | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Oh, wait a minute Bill. The Last Preservative is not designed or intended to remove the mold release agent (allegedly, if you prefer) found on new LP's. Nitty Gritty at one time offered a product named First for that purpose, but it's no longer av... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Stop scrubbing Bill! According to Last, the preservative bonds to the vinyl of the LP at the molecular level. Scrubbing won't reverse that permanent bond. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? I was in the LAOCAS in the 90's, and attended all the shows in California. I also accompanied Brooks to CES every January for years, but dropped out of Hi-Fi for awhile, visiting Brooks only occasionally. He became a customer of mine, buying a bun... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 SE Preamps For Sale? Statman, I too first encountered Brooks at GNP, in 1984. He wasn't even part owner of the shop, but did all their turntable set-ups (and was involved in the design of the GNP speakers). GNP was the other retailer (besides Randy at Optimal Enchantm... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 SE Preamps For Sale? Taters, the "Worst Dealers" thread was about a month ago, it seems to me. I'll try and find it. | |
| Who can service Bedini amps? I had Tom at Brooks Berdan Ltd. work on my 25/25. But it was just replacing the binding posts with Cardas', and adding a simple r/c filer x/o on the input jacks---there was nothing wrong with the amp. Do you have a schematic of the circuit? Tom is... | |
| Rock with strings Not Rock music (that didn't happen until he engaged Toto to play on his recordings, much to the detriment of his music, imo), Randy Newman's first album features fantastic orchestration. It's production, by Lenny Waronker and Van Dyke Parks, is ex... | |
| Proper Room Acoustics/Designs Is Dennis' room dimensions recommendation in the 1.0 X 1.6 X 2.6 ratio? | |
| Jeff Buckley Jeff's version of "Hallelujah" is fantastic, as is any version (live or studio) by the song's writer, Leonard Cohen. |
