| Anyone ever use the Goldmund Reference Mat ? Thanks.I removed the AQ sorbo and taped the Gmat down.This eliminated the problems of verticality,and allows me to use the Oracle clamp once more. | |
| 78 RPM turntable I play my shellac (78s) on an old single ended tube record player.Previously owned by the local school systems audio visual dept.At $2 it was a bargain and really sounds pretty good.Self contained with a single speaker built in. | |
| London Howling Wolf Sessions What was actually going on was Marshall Chess trying to get more white kids to buy blues records."Electric Mud" and "This is Howlin' Wolf's new record...." are also examples of the same sales ploy.These LPs are all from the period when Marshall to... | |
| Warner Bros New Van Morrison Vinyl Reissues I was interested in these as well.My interest was piqued by the involvement of Steve Hoffman.I read a biography of Van where "Astral Weeks" was discussed at length.Apparently many,many hours of tape exist.One song on the LP is extended by splicing... | |
| Miles Davis, the Cuisinart and other Hi-Fi Horrors Greg I can only hope it was "Bitch's Brew"(Not A Fan) an extra wooden spoon in there wouldn't really matter to me.You could request that "whomever, only use the spoon on the beat" but that may raise other problems of course.Happy holidays and reme... | |
| Analog Noob: I have a few questions In response to staying digital,analog takes dedication.Why don't you forget about fresh food, frozen dinners are soooo easy to prepare.And get one of those Stepford wives,very low maintainence.As far as Vinyl being hard to acquire,I'm choking with... | |

| Thorens 145 MKII 45 rpm not working Since the motor spins at the same RPM for both speeds,by design,it's not the motor.The drive pulley on top of the shaft coming out of the motor should look somewhat like an upside down bottle.The difference in circumference at top and bottom is wh... | |
| Thorens 145 MKII 45 rpm not working Remove the mat,then the platter.At the back left next to the pulley is a lever.Turn the speed selecter switch to 45.Did the lever raise up from the plinth? Is the belt between the fingers of the lever? If the lever doesn't raise the linkage (betwe... | |
| New LP Returns Mac The biggest problem,I see for you,at some point won't the dealer decide you are too anal?From a business standpoint he may lose more than he gains.At that point you lose the most valuable part of this equation,the fact that he calls you with "... | |
| Thorens 145 MKII headshell? If the part you are missing is on the back of the arm,Near where it pivots,I think it's The anti-skate device.There should be two small notched arms (one one either side of the armtube) facing backwards.A small weight on a line is attached to one ... | |
| Tom Waits, Rain Dogs... The problem I have with Tom is he keeps making the same album over and over. | |
| Greg Sanchez ? Zydeco piano If that was "Live in Montreal" the keyboard player was Craig Lege.There are a couple of funny marks over the "e"s,but my keyboard can't reproduce them. |
