| Well Tempered Amadeus Hi Jim, thanks for straigtening Tom out :).Enjoying the table? | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Tom, just remember, there's no difference in the tables except for the arm mount. You seem to keep inferring there's a special dynavector table. The only difference is the arm. | |
| Ebony Wine Stopper Blanks We've done the same over here. Cocobolo was our wood of choice. I guess we thought we were imitating the myrtle wood blocks of cardas. However, as much as they can change the sound, listen closely, it's not always for the better, but for some gear... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him I remember playing him quite a while ago and couldn't get on with it, maybe i'll give him another shot. I just get a little turned off by guys in the past 10yrs or so who play somber, navel gazing music and think they're like nick drake. I truly d... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him I think in the initial thread he was asking for others of the era? Obviously some don't know their british folk. You might try reading joe boyd's great read, white bicycle. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus The new cartridge is great, isn't it? Too bad you couldn't have listened longer, I think the amadeus with its own arm would have won you over, better synergy, plus, it's cheaper, which isn't always a bad thing. The tables are identical in other re... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus If I got this right, you are correct. Stanalog bought the rights for WellTempered from Transparent. The Amadeus is indeed a new launch by Mr. Firebaugh, now distributed by Toffco, and totally seperate from the old line. I believe that was included... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus The reviews are spot-on, can't make any claims of near-perfect :). It makes the Scoutmaster sound artificial, veiled.And compared to most tables so far, better, not just different like other product comparisons.Highly innovative engineering to ach... | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 Dunno the differences, but the Emeralds are getting great praise (check 6moons) and word of mouth very strong. Check here on audiogon, I think there's a way you can get hooked up with individuals in certain cities where you can go and hear them- y... | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Agree with the last post, especially Nic Jones. The newer artists mentioned, while good in their own right, are nothing like that era you ask about. Look for anything on the Hannibal/Carthage label. | |
| Richard Thompson recommendations Yes, "watching the dark" would be excellent, a wonderful 3cd set. If that hooks you, then you've got much to look forward to, all the solo albums, duos with linda, and the great early fairport convention stuff, and maybe even all the albums he's p... | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop... Yawn....oops, sorry, yawn..... | |
| Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement? I would concur with comment #1. I would never bag on a grado, they are great for what they are, especially in the inexpensive aisle. The few I've heard with more money involved I wouldn't care to own.However, you're comparing apples and oranges...... | |
| Jennifer Warnes 20th Ann Famous Blue Raincoat RI It's just that it was an unnecessary reissue. When I think of all the things that could be brought out or better mastered, and they give us this. It needs to go the way of Susannah McCorkle albums. Hopefully Diana Krall albums will end up there, t... | |
| best value - record cleaning machine Love the VPI 16.5....works reliably well...you'll have it for years and years...I actually like the noise it makes. Makes you feel like it's really doing something. And, it's not that loud.Above all else, just clean em with something. Your cartrid... |
