| Tonearm Advice Needed Put another way, my SME 3012R surpasses my $6.5K Kuzma 4P. Those R-series SME arms were magnificent. Be confident enough to unwrap yours and try it prior to hasty resale. | |
| Tonearm Advice Needed An ART7 (with compliance similar to ART9) works well on my SME 3012R. Keep the 3009R. | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death If the Ballad of Bill Hubbard didn't move you, you missed it: "The Ballad of Bill Hubbard" features a sample of WW1 veteran Alfred "Alf" Razzell, a member of the Royal Fusiliers (much like Waters' father Eric Fletcher Waters had been in the follo... | |
| Audio Craft AC-4400 and related AC tonearms It's a fabled tonearm. | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 @mre28m5Glad that worked out for you. I had forgotten that I used insulating shoulder washer Digikey p/n HS418-ND to float the Belleson metal tab from ground. Now that the audio board mods are breaking in, I’ll take a shot at tracing the circuit o... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 @mre28m5... The Bellesons are drop-in replacements for the original regulators.

| A "primer" on soldering... A good magnifier lamp is quite helpful. | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD @jmcgrogan2 While writing that post I was also thinking of athletic types like Mick, Pete Townshend, James Brown, Springsteen, even Meatloaf. And of Bob Dylan, who continues to tour, albeit in a sendentary position behind the keyboard. | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD In the case of Prince, decades of stage acrobatics took a toll on the body that mere mortals can’t imagine. Apparently this was the same for Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries. I never saw Petty live, but if his performing style was athletic, th... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! @prof Now that Thiel is gone I suppose it is fair to mention that Phil Bamberg was doing outsource design work for Thiel during the early transition to the new owners. Thiel later brought in an ex-PSB designer full time who transitioned to the non... | |
