| Grado "wobble"...? For the record, it's the Grado "Wiggle".And yes, mine did it too (I always thought the damn thing would bust loose and leave a huge scratch on my LP -it never did...) | |
| Will this work to tame bass boom? Have you tried slapping some Tekna-Sonic bass traps on your speakers?These would be much cheaper than a digital solution.Anyone have success with these? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.Theme song from "Baretta" T. V. show | |
| Carpet Spikes, WHY? The "word on the street" is that you need spikes if your wood floor is less than rigid (e.g., in a pre WW-II frame house). If you live in a well-built home or apartment building, you don't need them for sonics (Maybe you need them if you have ultr... | |
| Amplification with Harbeth Loudspeakers I heard the 7's paired with the Plinius 102 at last CES.Damn fine sound... | |
| RIP Ray Charles My favorite Ray Charles is the song used in Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" movie.I also really love the number he does in the first "Blues Brothers", when he proves there is still life in that ol' Rhodes...R.I.P. | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Well, if we must keep this going...Itchycoo Park -Small Faces (Small Faces, sans Rod Stuart, had another hit?) | |
| How important is a flat response? What are we trying to do here?We are trying to experience the spark in the composer's mind expressed by the music made by an orchestra (or Jimi's Strat). Having a flat system response tells us one thing; How well the recording engineer was able to... | |
| What do you like about your "favorite" retailer? After playing this game (abnormally high-priced audio) since 1990, I can say I have no favorite dealer.I don't wish to sound mean or cynical but I've never found a dealer who wasn't in it for the money and/or gave a crap about me except as a profi... | |
| Todd Rundgren and the Liars tour / New album Phil: Sounds like you know your T.R. I'll have to check this out. As a footnote, I saw Todd at the Park West theater (Chicago) on New Year's Eve around 1990 (give-or-take). I bought tickets to both sets to get my fill of this great musician. He ca... | |
| Todd Rundgren and the Liars tour / New album I've been off of T. R. ever since his pityful "Second Wind" album. Also that crappy work he did for the "Broadway musical" (almost as boring as Paul Simon's "Capeman" -also for Broadway).I do love T. R. (and Utopia's) previous work."The Healer" -L... | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Amandarae: You're probably right. I usually double check these things but my collection is currently boxed and I was too lazy to verify it on Amazon. Really love that f***ing song. Reminds me how passionate I was in the teens (to the detriment of ... | |
| Sony 9000 ES / No Video Dude: Do you have the button at the extreme right turned on?This effectivley kills the video section of the player.If this button is lit up, put in a cd, close the drawer, push stop (so disk doesn't play) and push the button so its light goes out.... | |
| How do amplifiers work? My belief is that the amplifier takes electricity from the wall and stores it in capacitors (like big batteries).The music signal (from a CD player, etc.) is used to modulate a "valve" (a tube or transistor) which results in a mirror image of the ... | |
| What do you look like? I look like a 6 foot, 165 pound 16 year old with the fullest head of hair you've ever seen (drives the girls wild!).How I got into this 51 year old, 225 pound sagging body with a combover, I'll never know... |
