| Favorite obsolete formats..... It wasn't a medium, but a source.....the lowly hand-held transistor radio that only played AM, but introduced many of us to the world of modern (for that time) music. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Little Eva, along with many oth... | |
| For a few dollars more oldhvymec - I think the film you were thinking about where Clint took an unscheduled trip was Coogan's Bluff. It doesn't hold up as well as most of his other films, but it was pretty gritty. | |
| VINYL SUCKS! Not tipping my hand on this matter, but I'll say this - I watched Bad Night At the El Royale a few days ago and a good part of the soundtrack featured what appeared to be 78 RPMs spinning on a beautiful Wurlitzer jukebox. The sound was definitely ... | |
| Time to Clamp Down I meant options as far as what I have on-hand already, fuzztone. I have a couple of Record Doctor clamps which would probably work, but you have to install a doughnut at the spindle base to go with the clamp and I'm definitely not going down that ... | |
| Time to Clamp Down Thanks for the responses....I believe there are something like 454 grams in a pound and if Pro-Ject marketed a weight of 700-800 grams, I should have no real concerns over this weight on my Thorens. It probably falls within thatrange....I bought i... | |
| Time to Clamp Down Thanks millercarbon....that makes total sense. I should have paid more attention in science and math classes. Good to know the laws of inertia and motion apply to something I can relate to on an everyday level. | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend Ah, yes....Home Depot (I should have read the entire thread before asking the question). | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend That's a beautiful, industrial-strength rack and I think you made the right decision on the metal plate footers. Who sells butcher-block in that length? | |
| Aging Gear for Aging Ears So it's not just me.....I'll postpone the session with my therapist. I really believe there's some science or other logical explanation for this anomaly. Like a newborn animal, maybe we were 'imprinted' with the sound from our first system. I'll n... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound One factor that no one seems to have considered is that everyone's hearing ability doesn't conform to a template....just like vision can vary from individual to individual, from that of a hawk to the myopic Mr. Magoo, so does the critical sense of... | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? I am in the process of recreating my first real stereo system (to the greatest extent possible). A Sansui 5000X receiver with 60 strong watts per channel, a Thorens TD-160 turntable, a Teac RTR, (original was a 4010-SL, went with an A-4300SX this ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? True addendum to the Atlanta Pop Festival posting....I went with several friends, one of whom had been burned a few weeks earlier when he gave someone $20 for a bag of weed. The guy disappeared into a house and never showed back up. At the concert... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Atlanta Pop Festival, July 4th & 5th 1969...the music and bands were good, but it was over 100 degrees on both days. Held at the Atlanta International Raceway (NASCAR venue) on the infield and the heat from the huge racetrack baked the crowd. ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? The Atlanta Pop Festival, July 4th & 5th 1969. The bands/music were good, but it was over 100 degrees both days. The site was the infield of Atlanta International Raceway (NASCAR) and the radiated heat off of the huge racetrack baked the crowd... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear One last recommendation for the jazz genre.....Charles Lloyd/Jumping the Creek. Try it, you'll like it! |
