Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
2d Best Moment:I'm home off tour and get invited to see some band a friend was working for at the Ford Ampitheater in LA. Daytime and I am hanging out on the side of the stage just behind the speaker stacks. There is this really really pretty girl... 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
Worst Moments1) When I was the lighting director for the Aerosmith reunion tour in 1984, Steve Tylor was still getting loaded. During his first song at our gig in Rockford Il he put his harmonica in his pants pocket. The pocket had a hole in it an... 
Shindo Amp with JM Reynaud speakers?
You will love it. 
ARC LS16 vs LS2 MK2
While I liked my SP16L at the time, the lack of fine volume adjustment drove me crazy. The steps (actually 1/2 steps) between volume points are too great. I sold mine and bought a used Modwright. Solved the problem and the Modwright was just a far... 
EAR 834P or Quad QC24 w/ phono
OK, I have the Quad 24P running a Shelter 901 into a Modwright Preamp driving a VAC PA100/100.I have never heard the Ear but it was on my short list when I bought the Quad. I am very happy with the Quad. It is adjustable and offers MM/MC capabilit...

Can you reccomend a cable for my VAC 140's
I don't mind people trying to make a buck, but a new poster shilling for a vendor under the cover of being a real member of A'gon is just cheesy. See: 08-24-08: Paulneringa. A member not for years, but for months and only posting about a cable ven... 
Spilled marinara sauce on wood speaker....
Doesn't Machina Dynamica sell that sauce to use on all your components? 
'they blew'em off the stage'
Jay Ferguson, ex of Spirit, blew the Doobies off the stage on a nightly basis in support of his Thunder Island album. I used to work for Jay as his lighting designer. He had a remarkably tight band and he was a one man wrecking crew on stage. The ... 
Doors Vinyl Box Set Defect?
I got my set on Saturday. I'll have to go look at the labels. The sound is uniformly good to excellent even wonderful. Dead quiet vinyl. The original tapes, some of which were in bad shape, were remastered in the digital domain at 194/24 bits. Acc... 
Music Hall 7 owners
I used a Sumiko Blackbird with mine. Sounded so good I had to upgrade. Beware. 
Curse you Dynaflex
