| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Raytheprinter, I'll look for the "bluegrass sessions"...looks like a great compilation, but I hope it was also released on CD. You must have some great memories from the 70's of ARS. | |
| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. I'll suggest Atlanta Rhythm Section's "Partly Plugged", another recording that is quite well recorded and brings back great memories. ARS's unplugged compilation commemorated their 25th anniversary. Barry Baily's acoustic lead guitar work is fluid... | |
| 6550 settings on a Hickok 6000A Tube Tester Great site, thanks Albert. Dave | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only The least expensive method to ship small items overseas I have found is with Express Mail. However,a postal clerk told me to forget about being able to track the package or verify delivery after it departs the USA. So, if the package did not arriv... | |
| Great country music recording Vince Gill- "High Lonesome Sound" this is a very nice sounding HDCD recording. IMO, V. Gill is one of the all-time great guitarists...also his singing ain't bad. Plays a 1954 Gibson J-200 on the "Jeremy Dreams of Trains" track that I think you'll ... | |
| panasonic sa-xr45 vs marantz sr-5400 I second Reubent's positive review of the SA-XR45. In my system, it really shows its capability when a digital signal is fed directly into the SA=XR45's digital input rather than an analog signal into its analogue input. The SA-XR45 will accept/re... | |
| Badfinger Great post! I played in a classic rock band up through the late 90's and we always included "No Matter What" and "Baby Blue" (I think we played it in C) in our club sets...real crowd pleasers. I remember people often coming up and talking about ho... | |
| Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending Interesting post, but a little history seems relevant. Some of you may remember the "good ole days" of AudioMart and more recently, the RAM usergroup. I used these earlier methods for years to buy and sell. IMO, using Audiogon, even with the occas... | |
| Phono Box Advice Needed Hi Jon,Actually, I bought a number of phono interconnects and A/B'd them...I ended up with a Harmonic Tech phono cable. Good luck on isolating the hum.Regards,Dave | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? You may find that the Zero Autoformer useful with low impedence speakers. The "Zero's" multiply the speakers' impedence allowing an easier load for your amp. I use them very successfully with Audio Research tube amps and Soundlabs. The designer re... | |
| Phono Box Advice Needed Jfrech and Viridian, thanks for the information and advice. Recently, I have gotten back into vinyl after a 10 year absence,so your advice is appreciated!(former TT was a Well Tempered/Koetsu going into an ARC SP14 via AQ cables), In the last few ... | |
| Comparing AQ Diamonds to the new AQ interconnects Viggen, for what its worth in your search, I was a long time user of Diamond 3x's and recall 3 distinct sounding "versions"(my term)over a multi-year period. The last version I used had a "matte" finish, verses the glossy gray of the earlier two. ... | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? After many trials, I now use Audio Research VT-150 monos(predecessor to the Reference amps) with the 3.6's in a 15'x 26' room and they drive them extremely well with all the "tube magic" I could hope for. The VT150's have tube regulation and a mas... | |
| Quad ESL 63's-Can they play rock music? I second TWL's comments. I love the Quads and, over time, have owned 2 different sets of USA monitors, but I spent a lot of money replacing panels on both sets. The first set came from Florida, so I thought the panels were more prone to arcing due... | |
| Vandersteen 3ASigs amp? I auditioned both the ARC VT100 and the VT100MKII (which I own)on the 3'S. I thought the MKII version was a very nice match with this speaker. It seemed a good deal more powerful and had more control at low and moderate volume levels. |
