| Suggestions on speakers celto, Audio Classics in Binghamton NY sells Mac speakers, so you may want to contact them. I bought a pair of Quad 2905's from them a while ago and they told me that my Quad's out performed any other pair of speakers they've carried including the... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner Thanks lewm, This is the first time anyone's described the beneficial characteristics of owning these components. My thought also would be that this technology will grow further and become more common as time passes. Hence, the suggestion that SOT... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner Hi Lewm,You stated, "I assure you that your Thorens is not so speed stable as you would like to think it is now and that you would benefit, or rather your listening experience would benefit, if you were to install a Roadrunner in combination with ... | |
| Quad S-2 Sorry about getting to this thread at such a late time. I own the Quad 2905 ESL's and I'm having a panel replaced in one, right at this moment. I've had two panels per speaker replaced previously but not because of how these were constructed but b... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner ’Some is music you simply can’t find on other formats. ’ has2be,this is why I started investing in mono classical vinyl, due to its unavailability in the digital (remastered) format. I have some great original vinyl from the 1950’s as well as newl... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner If I'm not mistaken, the Falcon would detect a basic sign wave and would adjust the rotation speed if the form and curve of the sound wave was irregular. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different unit. | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner Sorry, I mean to ask, if a tonearm should be my sole focus or if a roadrunner tachometer would make any sense with a Thoren's belt drive TT?The way I understand this thread is that a tachometer would show the inconsistencies in my rotation speed b... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner has2be, you’ve posted a practical statement which, I would guess, most are capable of understanding. I’ve been in the process of modifying a Thoren’s TD 145 but still haven’t replaced the weakest link, the TP-16 tonearm. So to offset the tonearm’s... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century Hyperion released an extensive 'The Romantic Piano' series. Much of it is 20th Century. The Godowski 'The Complete Studies on Chopin's Etudes' is worth having. As far as the best, one can't ignore the Shostakovich Piano Quintet. | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Thanks daverz, if I’m not mistaken this Prokofiev concerto was recorded at Abbey Road with the LSO on August 23rd 1935. I have a digitally remastered recording of this as well as the Bartok and Bloch pieces but on the Andante Label. If you’re a fa... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Yes bdp, mono recordings are being reintroduced for there audiophile significance, i.e. MOFI 'Surrealistic Pillow'. In some ways, I still believe that splitting the recording into two channels to create a stereo recording is somewhat of a gimmick... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I believe that's a generational thing roberjerman as people once only owned one speaker. Yes, I have a cable running between the left and right sub outputs which renders the amp mono. | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Sorry, for some reason Audiogon is not allowing me to create paragraphs in the above post. | |
| Recommendation for Quad ESL repair -- Sheldon Stokes! I had four Quad 2905 panels replaced, two in each speaker, by Russ Knotts to fantastic results. If northern Ohio is doable, I would highly recommend Russ. He has a great deal of knowledge and experience with all Quad models as well as other manufa... | |
| Favorite Dylan? I saw Dylan at Music Hall in Cincinnati in 1981 shortly after the Slow Train release. I believe he only played four cuts from the album. That was easily one of the best shows I’d ever seen. Canned Heat, CS&Y and Dead shows are some others. As ... |
