| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-01-10: FrogmanNever have I experienced a problem with cartridge/cantilever wear that I can attribute to the arm. That, is the million dollar question. Unless this greater lateral force can be proven to cause increased distortion or cartridge we... | |
| Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries If you can for corners, I'd say Audio Note speakers. Of course, they'd work best with at least an amp change in your system, too. $8k AN-E SE review, $6k AN-E review, $6.5k AN-E SPe | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 03-01-10: DertonarmI haven't seen yet a linear tonearm really taking into account the way the suspension system of any cartridge is working. Great explanation of the lateral forces, Dert.It would be interesting to know if this heightened lateral f... | |
| When will rap music be less mainstream? I was driving yesterday listening to K-DAY LA and they had a little 1989 to 1991 thing going. This is still a great jam - Hip Hop HoorayAnd this one changed the game - Me Myself and I | |
| the greatest pop song ever? 02-26-10: TvadWhichever has sold the most records. That's what pop music is all about. Once the answer is found, no further debate is required. I'd also say most covered song would qualify as best pop song. There has to be a reason why it's covere... | |
| the greatest pop song ever? I know 4 songs that aren't the greatest pop song ever:"Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Muskrat Love" by Captain & Tennille"Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 02-27-10: DertonarmI would even say it neglects fundamental aspects of mechanic and physic. But nothing in physics can be obvious enough not to be questioned if it doesn't fit the preference of an audiophile. Must have been a test of true insight ... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 02-26-10: DanwkwYes, Darkmoebius, Scheu with Conductor and Acoustic Solid with Ortofon I forgot to mention that the Das Laufwerk is a dream table for me, I would love to own one(especially in slate). I also came very, very, close to owning an Acou... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Hi Danwkw,Correct me if I'm wrong, but you tried the same cart on two different tables and arms, but never on the same table with both arms?So, your test was PC-1/Conductor/Das Laufwerk, then PC-1/Ortofon AS-212/Acoustic Solid Wood? But never PC-1... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? 02-25-10: DertonarmWe need to eliminate the progression from the stylus.This can be done, but will be really expensive, as it can not deal with linear progression, but need to be in short-time-loop with the real groove-spacing of the LP on the pla... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Has anyone compared recent linear and pivot tonearms on a 2-arm TT at the same time w/ the same cartridge for an A/B comparison? What did you notice?I guess the affiliated question would be - are there cartridges that work equally as well on the t... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 02-24-10: BongofuryD Mob,I helped create the Pharmaka Gallery across the street from the Nickel in 2004. Along with Bert Green, we were the pioneers in starting Gallery Row. They have a wonderful art walk once a month. Very cool. My girlfriend an... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 02-23-10: TvadI've never gotten aboard the In-N-Out craze. Their burgers just don't stand out to me. Agreed. Thin, tasteless, patties. You have to go "off menu" to get anything remotely tasting like hamburger with meat. Four-by patties is the only... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 02-23-10: GawdblessCarl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger, anything with 1520 calories and can potentially give one a heart attack, all for just 6 bucks, just has to be good. I agree. Of the large fast food chain burgers, Carl's is the best by a long... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 02-22-10: ByegollyFatburger was decent in late 80's/early 90's - they must be gone or crap now cause no one ever mentions them anymore.02-22-10: SamharHhh the R.B. Fat Burger on PCH was the best and later the ones Magic Johnson owned on the West S... |
