| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Hey Noble, check out the album cover pic of Linda Ronstadt, Living in the USA (Asylum 1978). Now that's what I call a pair of short-shorts. I guess I had a crush on Linda R during the 1970s. Hard to believe that she's about 65 years old now. What ... | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? I realize this may not count, but I would like to post a song THAT I WISH would have reminded me of my first love, or any love for that matter: "Paradise By The Dashboard Light," by Meatloaf in 1977. | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? "Sherry" and most other tunes by the Four Seasons in the Summer of 1969 for Mimi. I was 16 and she was 15 and gorgeous. | |
| better phono stage Hi Needfreestuff. My front end is similar to what you have. I have a VPI Classic TT with VPI Zephyr cartridge. My linestage is an ARC Ref 3. BTW, you didn't mention the name of the manufacturer of your Ref 3, so I am assuming it's an ARC model. My... | |
| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? My comment is a little off topic, but picks up on a story similar to Hifixpert's experience about reputable companies that stand behind their gear. In my case, the equipment is an Audio Research VS-115 tube amp. Yesterday in the late afternoon, wh... | |
| Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations Update: I'm glad I waited before coming back. I'd like to report on what I've done and the results. I read with great interest the various suggestions. There were so many, I became confused. I guess just TMI. Ok, I've previosuly worked with a well... | |
| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? Vintage Crown DC300A amplifer. Bought vintage amp last year for my son. The amp was poorly packaged and as luck would have it, was dropped during shipment to me. Part of the chassis was bent. It went back to Crown for a factory check and chassis r... | |
| VPI Classic hum This comment is from another OP that I started:"Final comments: shortly after posting this thread, I sourced a practically new Dynavector 20X2H for my Classic. This cartridge was easy and forgiving to set up and sounded very good, especially "sans... | |
| Anyone tried Soundsmith VPI Zephyr MI Cartridge Macdadtexsas, the Zephyr continues to amaze me. Other cartridges might have done an ok job of separating Roy, the background singers, and the band, but nothing like the Zephyr. There's almost space in between Roy, the background singers, and the b... | |
| Anyone tried Soundsmith VPI Zephyr MI Cartridge Hi: I'm late to post, but I want to add my comments for the benefit of folks who are contemplating purchasing the VPI Zephyr. As a general matter, I concur with the comments offered above. Specifically, it's one of the best cartridges I have ever ... | |
| The Physics of Electricity Kijanki, what's sad is I understand. Thanks for the offer, but I like "shake and bake" KFC. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Kijanki, is this when "quality" electrons make a difference?? They really improved the performance of my bucket of steam. | |
| Back to tubes? Hey Krys, as I said, by the time this OP ends, the members will recommend every pre out there! LOL | |
| Back to tubes? Glad to have you back. I own the ARC Ref 3. I understand the Ref 5 has the same sonic signature as the Ref 3 -- just better. Some say a lot better. I love my Ref 3. It's simply a great line stage. So, the ARC Ref 5 has my endorsement. What about a... | |
| Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations Thanks Braab -- I agree 100% with you. I am very grateful for the advice from the other responders. My sense is that since the connection between the phono pre and line stage is working with stepped up voltage (e.g., 4-6 V), the connection between... |
