| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW Great write up.I am a huge fan of huge 'stats, however space limits for me dictate that 'stats are out of the question. Worst is I own great amps for stats - Atma MA1's.Just a few weeks ago I heard my friends Soundlab U-1 with the latest PX techno... | |
| what gives with PSAudio & Cullen headquarters? Whatever manufacturing image is trying to be portrayed, I am a huge fan of (the current) PS Audio gear. Every component I have tried of theirs is fantastic, especially at the price point. At some point I will have Rick Cullen upgrade some of my PS... | |
| The Tubes The Tubes were a huge influence on me growing up. I heard the Tubes Now when I was in junior high and then moved on to enjoy their entire catalog. Young and Rich has some great sounding cuts. I bought some white label promos of Now and Y&R rec... | |

| Is it questionable to buy new popular music on LP? Dunk- Funny you mention Magic - Is it probably the worst sounding LP I own.

| New Re-Issue Vinyl: Surface Noise, Ticks, Pops.... I just bought the Analog Productions 45RPM Bill Evans How MY Heart Sings, and although it is a fantastic mastering and sound quality, there are some terribly loud ticks happening on the first play. Perhaps it will get a bit better, but i never hea... | |
| Sufjan Stevens 'Michigan' Wireless - I have to try and see that Austin City Limits! Hopefully they'll replay it. A number of years ago I agreed to color correct segments from a low budget concert film - that ended up being Sufjan's. They shot 5 cameras - all different form... | |
| Looking for the BEST Version of Quadrophenia? Rhyno,I was lucky enough to score the Track version here in NYC many years when everyone was unloading their vinyl to local record stores as they rushed to change over to CD. I strongly suggest you don't model yourself after Pete. Otherwise you'll... | |
| Tw acustik turntables As fantastic as the Raven One is in stock form, it deserves to be tweeked out and have the best ancillary gear. Mine has a Brass armboard, sits on a Sistrum stand. I have the Phantom arm and in a few weeks a Soundsmith Strain Gage cart will be att... | |
