| Which arms share the Rega Geometry? Why not just suffer along with the Rega arm until the new table is ready? How long's the wait? | |
| Great classical pianists Glenn Gould. | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Now, spend at least as much on recordings as you have on equipment, and it will have been money well spent. | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? @simonmoon and @edcyn: Which Moby Disc? I lived a few blocks from the one on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks. In the mid-80’s Lucinda Williams worked there for awhile. I’d go in and there she was, standing behind the register, staring off into space... | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? Yes. Puffies ;-) . | |
| Can't remember the name of a band. Old expression: "Those who can, do. Those who can’t teach." Don’t blame me, I didn’t coin it ;-) . Cold Blood were.....hot. All the Bay Area musicians loved ’em. For a male-fronted band with horns, it was The Sons Of Champlin and Sly & The Fa... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... On the Striking It Rich album by Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks (produced by Tommy LiPuma---nominated for 33 Grammys, 5 of which he won, engineered by Bruce Botnick---best known for the Doors albums---at Sunset Sound in L.A.), Maryann price sings the... | |
| Which arms share the Rega Geometry? You're willing to spend money on a new arm, but balk at the price of a new armboard?! I took the arm mounting plate for my VPI Aries into a good plastics supply house/fabrication shop, and had them make a new one to the stock one's exact specs. P... | |
| To truly enjoy this hobby, I need to learn electronics. Any book recs? Contact Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere. I'm sure he can recommend some books on electronic theory, circuit design, etc. Forget about books aimed at audiophiles, like the one by Robert Harley; that's not technical information, it's hi-fi consumer adv... | |
| Rant against the industry with hopes for discussion on positive change High end audio---or even hi-fi on any level---has ALWAYS been a niche market. Out of, say, a hundred young people I knew when I was in my 20's (in the 1970's), only two other than myself cared enough about having a good system to actually be willi... | |
| New In 2022 Mavis Staples: We'll Never Turn Back LP---15th Anniversary Edition (Anti Records), produced by Ry Cooder. | |
| Planar speaker characteristics @russ69: Yeah, I didn't notice the date of the op until after I posted, and then thought "What the heck, may as well leave it up for anyone who might find it useful." | |
| Planar speaker characteristics @dprincipato: As a long-time owner/listener of planars (both magnetic-planars and electrostatics), I think you should know that the number one rule for owning them is that if you are not able to place them 5’ or more away from the wall behind them... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... I have been thinking to myself "Why are people recommending non-Jazz female singers?" I just realized the request was for female singers in general, not just Jazz. Duh! Some of my faves have already been mentioned (Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harri... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones, both on Blue Note Records (and in audiophile pressings by Analogue Productions). |
