| Power cord for Linn Classik Don't literally throw those cheapie power cords away Racerx90!! If you ever sell those pieces of equipment I doubt that you'll want to ship them along with your "Ultra Godzilla Monzo" mega-buck power cords! And used equipment customers DO expect t... | |
| Mountain Speaking of MISSISSIPPI QUEEN does anyone remember the cult classic movie VANISHING POINT? Remember the scene towards the end of the movie with the beautiful blonde riding nude on the Honda 350 through the desert? Remember the background music...M... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? Try Ambrosia SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER TRAVELLED engineered by Alan Parsons. The vinyl sounds MUCH better than the newly released CD (although my vinyl is noisy...time to search for a new copy!) Also Maria Muldaur SWEET AND SLOW is breath-taking! I hav... | |
| Help: New Rega P3 & Grado Platinum; No highs Before you go nuts, give the unit some playing time to burn in. I just set-up a SME table with a Grado reference, and it took a good 40 hrs. for the sound to open up. I am not familiar with the table; just know of it. Can the phono cable to the pr... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? Hey Zorpman! Are you primarily interested in engineering and production (Beatles "Sgt. Peppers") or drop-dead recording and mastering (Audiophile Sound)? | |
| Tube question Sorry Gs5556 I have to disagree! There is NO WAY that Russian mil-spec sound anywhere near as good as some of the classic NOS tubes. Also, small signal (pre-amp tubes) should last 6,000+ hours (left on 24/7, these tubes should last AT LEAST one ye... | |
| Mountain WHOOPS! Part of my heading got dropped! This is the group/title that I'm interested in. | |

| Where is best place to have a Marantz 10B tuned up I have no idea!!! But I want to keep this interesting forum in my personal forum threads. Sorry for the interuption! Carry on and Happy Tunes! | |
| Good powercord for transports Hello Waynek2005! The sound can best be described as having a "black background" with every nuance of the music coming through. Compared to the price of some of the other cords mentioned, the price for the Top Gun is a BARGAIN! It is also an Absol... | |
| Audiophile Pressing? I have Queen's "A Night at the Opera" on MFSL Gold CD and it is by far THE WORST rock release I have ever heard from them! Compressed to hell and totally lifeless. I just assumed the master tape was crap. I'm going to check this out on my vinyl MS... | |
| Good powercord for transports I had good results with Custom Power Cord's "Top Gun" on my former Sonic Frontiers T/P-3 combo. | |
| cajun zydeco There are a bunch of Cajun sampler discs out there. Two fun performers are "Buckwheat Zydeco" and "Queen Ida". Have fun! | |
| Stylus Cleaners: A magnet for Dust? Since we're on the subject...is there any harm in using a Disc Washer stylus cleaner DRY? I also tend to pick up dust sometimes even after cleaning with a VPI. I'm out here in the desert with EXTREMELY low humidity. Happy Tunes, all! | |
| A question concerning ethics Simple code perhaps! Assign the codes RT (retailer) WS (web store)or MF (manufacturer) in the posting name. Of course, one PARTICULAR WB most of us know should be listed as SB (2 interpretations for this one!) |
