| I don't remember much, but I remember...... First LP I remember listening to a lot was Danny Kaye: "Hans Christian Anderson" on one side and "Tubby the Tuba" on the other. First LP I bought was "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Or, could it have been the Monkee's first album? If it w... | |
| Biamp with Linn Classik K / LK85 combination? I don't have the specific experience you ask about, but extrapolating from my experience with the Majik, I'm sure you'd enjoy an improvement, and an even bigger one with the LK 140, like Brian has done. But don't assume that putting the new amp on... | |
| Problems with PS2 Our PS2 has seen limited duty as a movie player, but like Argent, we've never had any problems. That's pretty unacceptable behavior you're experiencing. | |
| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate ...what Bkearns said. Extreme, your surprise and frustration that anti-skating dial numbers are not accurate is getting in the way of your reading of the "anti-skating question" thread, which has nothing to do with that specific problem. Just thou... | |
| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate Extreme, you missed the gist of my post in that thread --not that it matters ;-). You posit that using a grooveless track should undercompensate for skating force, and that is a widely held view. I found that using the grooveless track method _ove... | |
| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate My working assumption for any turntable, regardless of brand, would be that the anti-skating dial reading is not adequately reliable. Tracking force dial readings probably are more reliable, but I wouldn't put too much faith in them, either. Extre... | |
| Rega and VPI tonearm owners - READ THIS Good to hear comments about Heavyweight. Just to clarify, the OL mod to RB250 and 300 arms, which does cost a lot more than a Heavyweight, is not just changing the counterweight. It involves machining a new rear end stub that attaches in such a wa... | |
| CD burners: Marantz vs. HHB Your post was good reading, Zaikesman. I have the same Tascam as Dopogue and agree that it shares many of the same merits you describe with regard to your BurnIt. The features and ergonomics are great and mean more to me than I thought they would.... | |
| Recommendations for a CD Recorder Hi, Mchd1. There have been fairly extensive and helpful discussions in the not-too-distant past. Search the forums for "cd recorder" and you'll see many posts that will help you narrow down what you're looking for. I tried a two-well consumer deck... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation Martin, I like Neuance shelf -- it might be barely above your budget in price -- best under my CDP. Definitely worked best in terms of tonal balance and coherence, so might be your cup of tea, and also best preserved timing and pace. Next best was... | |
| Review: Lucinda Williams "Essence" With Lucinda, often less is more, but Glen you realize that, if you took a liking to the first track "Lonely Girls", which has, like, all of six different lines of lyrics. There's a great kind of stillness in this album that may take time to sink ... | |
| vibrapods or cones? Kitch, the Mapleshade Triplefeet definitely work better than their less expensive cones, which I also thought were good. Detail retrieval was improved high to low, and I preferred them to other cones and compliant feet including vpods under CDP an... | |
| Bit perfect copies Scott, it would be great if you would report on the RCD-W1 when you've had a chance to record some vinyl with it. This unit tempts me, but I've wondered if I'd have to spend money for a pro machine to do justice to LPs. From the promo blurbs, it d... | |
| Music that You Have JUST BOUGHT, and can Get Right With God was way cool when she performed it in concert, Craig; sounds like a classic. Unfortunately, as is often the case with pop/rock concerts, some bad sound -- shredded highs -- made it a fight to understand the lyrics of songs I was... | |
| Duke Ellington CD Recommendations If you're not through shopping, you might add one of my favorites, The Great Paris Concert. (Don't remember when it was released, but the concert was in 1963.) The sound is bright (not bad bright) and immediate, and hearing the verve and sophistic... |
