| Songs that you just have to sing "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Now only if my voice was a manly as Miss Peggy Lee's. | |
| thorens 160 Jon: Yes, looks like this is the case. Any luck on a replacement motor? Also what about the person/party that sold you the TT (are they taking any responsibility for the damage)? Still can't imagine how this type of damage would occur during trans... | |
| Integrated Amp for Girlfriend? Outliar: What speakers will she be using? Based on this I might be able to make a few integrated tube amp suggestions. Also what is the price of the CS (it is quite attractive as is other BC gear). | |
| New Lowther Drivers. Albert: I had the pleasure of attending a local "single driver" get together a few weeks back (hosted by Thor over @ the single driver website). I arrived rather late and did not get to listen to everything, but the overall coherency of sound of t... | |
| thorens 160 Jon: Are you certain that the shaft is bent? Not to doubt you, but I get the impression that you are new to TT's and I have never seen this happen before.If it is, then I think that you are correct (a motor replacement is in order). If you already... | |
| New Lowther Drivers. TWL: Had I suspected this of you earlier on last week, I would have picked up and shipped, gratis, a few dozen sound effects LP's that I stumbled across @ a local thrift (many still sealed), just to get on your good side (may need some help/ good ... | |
| Are you Elegant, Stylish and Obsessive? How about one of the hanging rack systems used by most dry cleaners? It would be an unusual industrial statement and could be affixed to the upper walls and ceilings of your "pad" while being aimed to gracefully slope, within hand's reach, @ your ... | |
| New Lowther Drivers. TWL:Here are a couple of chat rooms which may be of help:http://f18.parsimony.net/forum31999/http://members.aol.com/cycarpio/home.htm (BBS portion)The second site is mainly in Japanese, but I had no problem asking and receiving info in English (Zu... | |
| Is it necessary to clean every record? It's up to you. The least that could happen is that you will get some crud on the stylus (just clean it off) and the worst is that their will be "hard" particles in/on the LP that will damage it, however slightly, when played.New and seemingly unp... | |
| Whats the best modern Preamp with Loudness butto Weiserb: You could pick up a used TDS Passive Audioplile for approx. $200 and install it in the tape loop of any tube preamp (granted that it has one). Use the TDS for low level listening. This is what I have done in the past. | |
| Good budget monitor match for Plinius 8200MkII New and/or demo Reynaud Twins can be purchased from the previous US representative of this line for as little as $640 (see recent ads @ this site).I ran mine for a year with an Audion Silver Night 300B SET amp and they were not outclassed by this ... | |
| Is there such a thing as a good analogue turntable There are also some simple add on gizmos that will lift the arm @ the end of play (on manual TT's) but the platter keeps spinning. All of the mechanics are contained in the "add on" and they usually just "stick" to the top of the TT and require no... | |
| budget cleaning ideas for garage sale records? Guycom: You can make a simple cleaning mixture/solution using 91% Azeotropic Isopropyl alcohol and water. I use 9 parts distilled water to 1 part alcohal, but some prefer using twice this amount (20% alcohal in the solution). Other things can be a... | |
| Name that cable.... Don't know about the model with Ferrite beads, but the top of the line model with Diamonds is called the "Hope PC". It comes with a lifetime insurance policy issued by LLoyd's of London, though as far as I gather most of the owner's have not lived... | |
| turntable madness KT 88: The batteries last 5 days (when using two of the preamps as dual monos). I have 4 batteries and recharge one pair while using the other pair. There have recently been some people @ AA who have not had decent results with the preamps (though... |
