| NY Audio Show I'll be there. Nice location. Hoping for some impressive sounds and some audio fun. | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 - too much speaker for room size? I have Sashas in a room 14 x 20 with 10ft ceilings. I can assure you with a packed bookcase on the back wall and no other treatments other than curtains behind the speakers, there is excellent bass response, texture, soundstage and imaging. My flo... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners Rushton is right again. The minimal amount of static I get from the VPI which dries in 3 rotations can be eliminated with a Furutech Destat or similar tool. This is better than dried solution left on the record after an AD blow dry. That said, I h... | |
| VPI versus Ultrasonic cleaners I agree with Rushton. I use the AudioDesk followed by a quick rinse with reagent grade water with my VPI. | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Inna:There are many sublime lyrics. Too many to list. But to show just one of his many writing talents--- the depth of his ability to inhabit a foreign state of mind and write from that perspective, read the lyrics of "Every Grain of Sand" (google... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Bob Dylan's lyrics range from the puerile to the sublime. But when they are sublime--no one can touch him. He deserves the Nobel Prize. | |

| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Hi SEVS:I remember a number of years ago (about 4) at a NY audio show, an exhibitor pitted the DCS stack against a Top end Basis audio tt with Lyra Titan on the same system to prove that the DCS stack was in the ballpark with the tt in terms of SQ... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? In my experience, all things being equal, a tube amp will impart more of a tube sound to the presentation than a tube preamp, but some speakers need ss power to drive them and in that case there is only one way to go. | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen Most of Bruce's albums are among the worst sounding albums I have (except Darkness, Tunnel of Love, Lucky Town, Human Touch (last 3 Bob Clearmountain)) and his last album. It's inexcusable that with so many resources at his disposal in the studio,... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Right now----Out of Our Heads--original mono on London records | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? My suggestion:Audio Desk Systeme clean.Rinse with reagent grade water on VPI. Despite my problems with the earlier ADS machine, I think they have solved it and rinsing cannot hurt. | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? I too had a 3 year old ADS in which the pump failed after about 3 years.That was after the electronics failed in year 1. To my recollection, I also paid about $1450 for a pre-Pro version with different parts including a supposedly new and improved... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hi Geoff:Robert Ludwig was the original mastering engineer for this album and arranged to cut deep grooves for better dynamics. The story (myth?) is that Ahmet Ertegun's daughter's record player could not track it so Ertegun ordered it remastered... |
