| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's The name will not shock anyone, but Deep Purple. I only mention this because I dusted off/played their Shades of Deep Purple album last night. This is their lineup w/Nick Simper on bass, and Rod Evans on vocals. Although Jon's keyboards are easily... | |
| APO Doors Reissues Tomcy6: I consider my system to be a lot different from MF's. I do hear Ray's Keyboard's to the left, Robbie's guitar to the right, vocals center.... Still, I am very excited about this release, and look forward to LA Woman, and Morrison Hotel. Ch... | |
| APO Doors Reissues Strange Days is amazing. Will soon be cracking open the S/T QRP, and comparing it to my original Tan label. My point of reference for Strange Days is my DCC pressing.Mr. Fremer has also now reviewed both of these on Analog Planet.com. He gave Stra... | |
| EMT TSD15 tonality..colouration ? I have a Tsd-15 w/ Spherical tip. I do think in my system, it tends toward a warmer tonal balance. I would also say it has a bold/dynamic sound, as you described. Based on my time with the EMT, I don't hear the lower mid-range boost that you menti... | |
| 10K$ Speakers for 845 SET amplification DeVore 0/96's come to mind, but they are 12K new. Running them successfully with 25 watts, EL34's. | |
| How many with analog rigs only? I run the Amadeus from Well Tempered Labs. For CD, I have one from a very reliable company out of Japan. It's called "The Accord" by Honda. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Dgarretson- Reckoning is such a great record. Sounds pretty awesome on my standard press. Another good live one is "Hundred Year Hall", but unfortunately it is unavailable on vinyl. | |
| Repairing EMT cartridge Mikeyc8- I have dealt with Peter Lederman. He is a class act, and extremely skilled at what he does. I know JH is a straight shooter, so bounce it off him, and go from there. Best of luck ! | |
| Repairing EMT cartridge Sorry to hear that Mikeyc8. I have been lucky w/ my Tsd-15 so far, but things can happen. Thinking on the bright side, you would get a new life with a true factory rebuild. Get yourself a good MM, and play around with it while Jonathan takes care ... | |
| Next Cartridge I apologize ahead of time, but will share some advice I read Just to be clear, I have no Ortofon experience other than a Shindo SPU I heard briefly. I heard the Jubilee has a warmer tonal balance than many other Ortofon's. I also heard that the Pe... | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend I got the pleasure of speaking with Paul during a transaction we had, way back when. He was such a nice guy. I could easily tell he shared the passion with me. My heart feels heavy for him and his family. Audiodynamo- If you knew some of Paul's fa... | |
| Name your 5 favorite Led Zeppelin tracks. "Donjr-I don't have these recordings, which is the better recording regarding sound quality? Are there any bootleg recordings you recommend?"I listened to Physical Graffiti on Classic the other night. It is not audiophile quality, but it is very g... | |
| Good speakers under 10K. OP asked: Also, which rockport speakers would be in my budget?Mira monitor or Mira used. I have seen the latter used in the 8K range. | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu A few options: I believe Bob from Bob's devices uses a Koetsu.Another member uses a Choir Hashimoto SUT w/ his Onyx. Another option is David from almost live audio, who carries Koetsu and A-N SUT's. Another very good line is the Silver Core from G... | |
| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? I have heard the SPU Classic GM E ($999.00) is the closest sounding to Vintage SPU's. I am not saying this is a fact,but I did read that it was at least one persons opinion. I have only heard 2 SPU's, the Shindo, and the Royal N. They were both qu... |
