| What's the best EL84 amp? I couldn’t agree more @dhcod. Brooks was also an automobile enthusiast, and had a nice little stable of ’em. Riding with him in his souped up Mercedes Benz to Vegas for the CES was an experience I’ll never forget! In his younger days (high school... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Nor will I @car123. Or my RM-9 and RM-200, for that matter ;-) . Brooks Berdan had a fairly wealthy clientele, and he was more than happy to sell them VTL and Jadis amps (cha-ching ;-). But he recommended the Music Reference amps to his clients wh... | |
| New In 2023 On March 24th, Light In The Attic will release the reissue of the legendary (and hard to find) album In My Own Time by Karen Dalton. I didn't hear about or see it back in 1971, and have been waiting a long time to finally do so. Read all about her... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges @tomic601: Nope, Decca's defined variability ;-) . The London's not nearly as much so. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse Does it cost synergistic THAT much more to manufacture the Master Fuse than it did their earlier models? Or was its price determined by the cynical principal of "whatever the market will bear"? Hey, I'm just askin' ;-) . | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @hartf36: Yeah, I read about that recording of the harmonica too. But that was just a single, isolated incident. The TOOM recording sessions became very tension-filled, Dylan and Lanois butting heads throughout the making of the album. And Dylan ... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @clearthinker: Some other well-recorded "Rock", and the record labels involved: - Vertigo Records. Their early releases (on which the center paper label on the LP’s is filled with a drawing of 3 concentric circles. When the LP is spinning the ci... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? Consumer alert: For those apprehensive about ordering a product with a less than perfect reputation for reliability from a Hong Kong company such as Humminguru (understandable imo), that ultrasonic cleaner is now available on Amazon. $499 (free s... | |
| New In 2023 Robbie Fulks: Bluegrass Vacation, on LP and CD. Guests include Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, Alison Browne, Ronnie McCoury, and John Cowan. Wow! Robbie’s upcoming tour includes a show at The Polaris Hall In Portland (Oregon) on April 29th... | |
| Bad experience with an electrician The version I heard of the joke posted by @ieales goes: Q: "What do you call an unemployed drummer?" A: "A drummer." Both are very hurtful ;-) . Today I watched a number of videos on YouTube of interviews with and instructional tal... | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? For those suffering from static on your LP’s: I enthusiastically recommend the Furutech DeStat III. I for years suffered with the Zerostat (I still have my original pre-Milty), then discovered the much better (far less "fussy") Nagaoka Kilavolt No... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning Dylan was VERY involved in the new TOOM mixes. I read an interview with the engineer involved, who said Dylan approved every mix, rejecting the engineer’s mixes that didn’t create the sound Dylan was looking for (he never liked the sound of the or... | |
| Breathtaking SACD of popular classical music Look into the SACD titles of Classical music offered by Analogue Productions. | |
| KEF's meta material gimmick? Of course, dipole loudspeakers avoid the issue of the back wave of a tweeter (and woofer) by not having an enclosure at all. But then you have to deal with the back wave’s interaction with the wall behind the loudspeaker (not to mention the challe... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @edcyn: The size of the Tahoe is exactly why I bought it; I use it to haul my drums to gigs. For awhile I had it AND my old '84 BMW 528e, but by 2008 it's parts had started to regularly wear out, and BMW parts aren't cheap. I didn't want to sink a... |
