Bonzo's drum sound
Heard them perform in Chicago in 1969 if I remember correctly. The venue was the Kinetic Playground (AKA Aaron Russo's Electric Theater) where the weekend crowd at that time was small (2000-2500) and we all sat on the floor in front of the stage w... 
Cables for Tenor OTL
I own Atma-Sphere M60's with all the available options. Preamp is Atma-Sphere MP3, digital is CEC TL1-X/AudioLogic MXL and speaks are Mini Utopias with a Utopia Sub. I am completely wired with Ridge Street Poiema and I cannot fathom ever going to ... 
Mirage M1 or M3 vs M1Si or M3Si Series
THIS IS NO BS! Way back when Chicago hosted the CES show I had a conversation with Mr. Paisley who was one of those responsible for the design of the original M1. We talked candidly about the M1 (which I owned at the time) and the soon to be relea... 
recommendation to dampen bass for wood floors
I had the same problem with my wood floors and Utopia Sub. I ended up using Black Diamond cones screwed into Black Diamond Round Things. I am using 3 assemblies, points up against the bottom of the sub. I would think that in your situation you may... 
Audio Logic 24mxl 1st impressions/questions
Telefunkens and Siemens were analytical and thin sounding for my tastes. I preferred Mullard. You may want to spend your money on either the Tele and Siemens and the other money on the Mullards so you have more of a sonic swing to choose from. I f... 
Which Kharma?
Keep the Amati speakers and audition some of the larger Atma-Sphere amplifiers. 
Filling A Tubular Metal Rack?
You will drive yourself crazy trying to tune your system with different media in your stand. Lead, sand and cat litter....I've tried all three at various times, even combining them at different rates. I look back at all the crazy tweeks I have tri... 
Review: RidgeStreet Audio MSE Gen.II Digital Link Interconnect
I agree with your description. I too own this digital link and it is one of my two favorites. The other cable that I use is Ridge Street Audio balance digital link. The balanced and single ended digital cables made by RSA reign supreme within thei... 
Waves, and a perfect sleep
Why not buy a sound machine from Sharper Image? It has all sorts of recoorded sounds available at your fingertips...even sounds of taxi cabs blasting their horns in traffic! (Who the hell would want to hear that?...maybe people from Jersey?? :) 
Where does a sellers responsibility stop?
Agaffer- I think we are all curious as to what the outcome will be. Please post an update when the unit returns. 
Edmund Fitzgerald-Which Gordon Lightfoot LP?
Thanks Lugnut! 
Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000?
I have always had better luck with belt drive tables but here is food for thought: Both the Rockport and Goldmund Reference tables were direct drive designs..... 
Sound Engineering record weight
Lugnut-The fact that there are size differences among various tables is an issue but it is not the biggest obstacle. The trickiest part is that the finished cross section of the ring is so slender that even with a four jaw lathe chuck the ring ten... 
Cables - When Did it All Start?
For me it was AudioTechnica interconnects in 1977. "....whadda mean they'll improve my system?" Yikes!! I wish I had the money I have spent on wire. It would probably pay for half of my new PT Turbo. 
Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............
I never saw Stevie Ray Vaughn but I now wish I had. It is ironic that the real reason that I got into high end music systems was to give me the chance to hear my favorite music anytime in the comfort of my listening room. Yeah, I know...it isn't r...
