| ...they're back.... Assuming this thread is about the Doobie Brothers touring? Anyway, I saw them when they did their ‘Taking It To The Streets’ tour. I went because Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter was with them and I was a big Steely Dan fan in the 70’s. They were a very rehear... | |
| Work out music I’ve been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan a lot. He helps me max out while doing leg extensions. For stationary bike speed, Lynard Skynyrd has been a consistent motivation. For the upper body free weights, most likely Led Zeppelin. | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm We don’t know. | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm You’re correct but the statement behind the trade name is that it fits more music per side than the ordinary record. @mambacfa Interesting, do you have Joseph Long’s contact? | |
| Integrated that blew you away I own an ASR Emitter II Exclusive. You'd have to hear it to believe it! | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lalitk My relative pitch is all right I suppose. I can usually tell if a piano is off. I get a lot of pitch fluctuation because of the original Thorens tonearm I’m using. The AT 33 mono isn’t the greatest tracker either. Next for me is an Audiomo... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lalitk It says online that the first Microgroove pressing was made by Columbia in 1948. I'm certain that Blue Note released many Microgroove pressings in the 1950's. I have mono records from that era that do not say Microgroove on them and just b... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm Yes, I’ve read it a few times. I wish Miyajima and EMT would offer more of a selection when it comes to styli because I have a fairly sizable collection of mono from all decades with exception to shellac. And shellac is another topic altoget... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @elliottbnewcombjr The purpose behind my mentioning it, is that either stylus size might be perfectly fine for those Microgroove pressings. It’s rather confusing because some websites claim that the Microgroove stylus is a V shaped groove and othe... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? I meant to mention that there is a possibility that a mono cartridge will create a ground loop with a stereo phono stage. If the phono stage has a mono switch, than this will resolve any hum issues. @billstevenson As I mentioned earlier to what L... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lewm Sorry to verge off topic a bit but weren’t the grooves in the mono micro groove pressings wider than the stereo grooves but more narrow than the original mono grooves? | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @lalitk So then the question is whether or not you gain anything by using this two channel mono phono preamp. I’d say that in this case, everything hinges on the design and sound quality. But from what I’ve read here, more than likely no, there’s ... | |
| OT: Espresso machines I think around 1996, I purchased a Krups il Primo for a few hundred dollars. It still works today and the coffee tastes so much better than from my Bialetti. Parts are still available on eBay. Anyway, not fancy but it makes great tasting espresso ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? There are some mono cartridges that will destroy a stereo record. Which ones I don’t know. Which mono cartridges are not strapped but true mono cartridges; the mono cartridges that house two separate mono coils or a single mono coil cartridge. The... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? When I started posting on here, there weren’t a lot of us and the amount of activity was significantly less. However, I was a bit more curious than I am now. DAC’s were relatively new back then and streamers were still unheard of. SACD/CD players ... |
