A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
Vintage bands also welcome, as I was thinking about the Columbus, Ohio metal band 'The Godz' but they may be too chillin'.

Anybody know about a 1980’s band from LA called ’Third Door Down’? I’ve been trying to find info on them for some time.

thecarpathian, I understand the urge to suggest Yoko Ono but we don't want people committing suicide.  
A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
mapman, I have heard AC/DC in class but I’m thinking that it was post Bon Scott. Part of what’s difficult here is to get an agreement between the four or five of us and of course, our Master Guru has the last word. Hopefully, I’ll find a way to in...

Thanks all. I'm thinking a compilation so will have much to look into.

Thanks dabel, will check out.  
Rega RB3000
Seems like the Origin Live tonearms will fit with the Rega mounting plates. I’ve decided that sometime here in the near future, I’m going to replace my Thorens tonearm with the Onyx. I would opt for the Silver but with a dedicated mono cartridge, ... 
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
jjss49 'you are mistaken, harbeths are made in britain still' Yes, I already apologized. It's difficult to describe in words, what we hear in audio. British speakers to my ears are more forward sounding than American speakers. My Quads sound ba... 
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
Yep, apologize. Harbeth is not an IAG China product. However, Mission, Audiolab, Wharfedale, Quad and some others are. So the fact that Harbeth is paying their workers a reasonable wage in the UK could explain the price point for their speakers. A... 
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
I might be mistaken but I thought Harbeth had moved its manufacturing to China, sharing the same manufacturing facility as Quad. This would actually be a good thing if it were true. The current Quad ESL's are better built than any of there UK manu... 
What Is So Special About Harbeth?
It's dreadfully difficult to design dynamic speakers. Specifically the cross overs. I pretty much listen to classical exclusively, so for me Quad electrostatics are best. I think it's safe to say, that designing electrostatic speakers is much less... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
I apparently do not understand the term 'dynamics' where it pertains to speakers if Quad ESL's lack dynamics. To me, the term dynamics means whether the music is played from ppp pianissimo to a triple forte. If I were to listen to Andras Schiff pl... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
As Lewm mentioned, the Quad 57’s are a small electrostatic speaker that might work but it doesn’t provide a lot of low end. Also, those jokes about electrostatic speakers being for audiophile masochists…. I just had my amp tech over today to clean... 
Thorens, TD-125 MKII
dpphd, only 85, I guess you’re not coasting yet.  
Thorens, TD-125 MKII
dbphd, dealers and owners that I’ve talked to have made claims of noise and advised me to stay away from buying a TD124. The motors for the TD124 and for the Garrard 301 are similar in that they are big, in order to meet the work load. The frustra...
