| Bent Stylus....what to do? can you not get the grado retipped? or is retipping the same price as a new grado? van den hul advertises its ability to retip economically any cartridge; might give 'em a try. BTW, i believe a bent stylus can damage your lps', depending in what d... | |
| Best active subwoofer for 4 Quad ESL 57 i suggest you look for a muse model 18 (they're no longer made), together with a "personality card" specifically designed for the quads. for the latter you might want to contact kevin halverson at museelectronics.com. i had a couple of muse 18's t... | |
| "Bridging" an amp i suggest you contact the manufacturer of your amp. they're each a little different and many simply can't be bridged. | |
| tall front firing Sub for audio? the wilson whow is actually a down-firing sub. wilson does make a floor-standing upright sub, the xs. it is, however, 84" tall. and quite pricy. | |

| Graham 2: Reliability Issues jaica: i've listenened to the graham 2.2 only briefly at ces 2001 and not a/b'd it with the 2.0. i've not seen any technical info on it yet either. the two changes on the 2.2 of which i'm aware are the above-mentioned bearing cap and the counter w... | |
| Graham 2: Reliability Issues while you're having your arm re-wired, i'd sugest you get the pivot cap replaced with the version on the new 2.2. i've been told this will run you about $365. BTW, i doubt your cartridge problem was related to the tonearm wiring, unless its replac... | |
| Auditioning Audio Gear - The Music Used as with most folks here, i begin equipment auditions with recordings of male and female voices. my selections change over time, mainly 'cause i eventually get bored with "test" cd's/lp's. for several years i used jennifer warnes' "famous blue rain... | |
| Best Travelin Music talking heads, "stop making sense". if you can't get off on this, best turn around and head back home. you're not likely to experience a very good day. | |
| Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou? yeah, this is one of the greats in the "americana," "roots," "folk" genre in many a year. I can only hope that'll inspire a new breed of listeners to explore this favorite variety music of mine. | |
| C/W music Audiogon members lucky you, garfish. i was already a dog when these gnostic homilies were released. ( BTW, angela, i'm trying to use the word-a-day method for the expansion of one's vocabulary.) | |

| Guilty Pleasures garfish: here's one that's true, but hard to believe. the night before buddy holly, richie valens and the big bopper died (after performing at the surfer ballroom in northwest iowa), i saw them all in concert at the orpheum theatre in davenport, i... |
