"Dented tweeters — Does not affect sound "
"If tweeters sounded the same with dented diaphragms wouldn't the speakers manufacturers dent them in advance?"????Sorry V but I think your logic's a little fuzzy. Should auto or furniture manufacturers, just to name two, whose products would func... 
Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos
Ya gotta love this quote; "...it's not so much about equipment as knowing the difference between what sounds good, and what only sounds good for a minute. You have to know what's going to sound good next week." He's referring to the studio but tel... 
Spendor speakers
When I 1st chimed in on this thread my S100's were 19 yrs old. I got 'em for Xmas in 1990 so obviously they're 22 yrs old! I'm listening to these bad boys right NOW!;) We're rockin' in the new year! It's obvious from mine and other similar posts t...

Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos
I don't know, saying Donald Fagen released a bad sounding recording borders on blasphemy! Not to mention practically an impossibility based on his well documented obsession with superior sound quality! I think what I said earlier about the music a... 
Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos
I think Fagen's guilty of setting the bar too high. 'Sunken Condos' is a good record, not great, and certainly not his best. Rebbi, I'm left wondering why anyone would buy something THREE times and than profess to HATE the record?! Did you expect ... 
Changing the listener's ear position
I seem to remember back in the day someone actually sold some type of ear attachment thingamajig to facilitate this effect! 
EL 34 Amp Recommendations
+1 on Music Reference. Since I bought my RM9, I got off the 'latest & greatest' merry-go-round! Bought it used, it's roughly 20+ yrs old, built like a tank, gorgeous sound, I've NEVER seen a negative word written about it. There's obvious reas... 
James Taylor reissues?
Hasn't been mentioned but it's a favorite of mine; 'Gorilla'! 
Donald Byrd
Donald Byrd, talk about a blast from the past! As a young man I wore the grooves out of my copy of Black Byrd! I remember seeing him at Carnegie Hall with Gil Scott-Heron's Midnight Band. As I recall, Byrd's Jazz/Funk band had a hard time followin... 
High End Hi-Fi like Drugs
It's always a blast from the past when I open an old double album cover and find 40yr old weed residue from the ol' days of 'straining'!!;) 
Here's a good sounding Basia CD
Huge Basia fan! Originally, she was part of a band called 'Matt Bianco', she later went off on her own. A few year's back she re-joined the band for another record (Matt's Mood, great record!) and tour. I was fortunate to have caught her and the b... 
how to reglue ringmat?
I've owned a ringmat for 7-8 yrs with no problems. All I can say is that IF I had this problem, the only people I'd be asking for advice would be Ringmat! Have you tried contacting them? 
Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years?
Don't know about recent improvements but as far as the Arcam CD23's concerned, one of the reasons it's considered one of the better CD players is due to it's DAC; "a variation of the 'Ring' DAC, manufactured by DCS which the company used in it's o...
