| Maggies and subwoofer integration I'm using cheap used Sony subs with Maggie 3.7i as that's all the budget I had left. I've found that a setting of about 50 Hz works well and keeping the sub volume low to avoid bloat works fantastic. Even my musician friend are surprised at how we... | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection If you want some lively classical music try Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. The Boston Symphony just did an amazing set of the Shostakovich Symphonies, I'm not sure if they were released on vinyl but I'm sure you can find them by others. There's s... | |
| The Winter Brothers Agree a great LP You may also enjoy Edgar Winters White Trash and their double live LP on which Johnny joins the band for a few tunes. The other guitarist in WT is no slouch being Rick Derringer. | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday There's also a great version by Gary Moore and Albert King on YouTube. | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? 3 pair of used Maggie's 1.7, 1.7i and now 3.7i no problems. Do research on seller, I wouldn't buy a pair more than 5 years old, ask condition and if there were ever any problems. | |
| Oldies that stick in your head... Smoke on the Water Born to be wild Louie Louie I want to hold your hand, I saw her standing there, most early Beatles | |
| Happy Birthday Keith Richards. Keith was great his usual smiling, witty self. He’s aged like fine wine, a guy who you’d now love to hang out with. He did a few numbers on acoustic guitar. Hopefully he'll have many more birthday’s and lots of great music to come. Happy Birthday. | |

| Advent Christmas music ranges from ubiquitous elevator to bespoke. What stirs your senses? Two of my favorites are Jingle Bell Jazz and Glad Tidings Baroque Christmas music on Argo. | |
| Dealers with excellent listening rooms? Agree on Fidelis in Nashua NH also the Audio Connection in Verona NJ has some nice space and equipment. Both have great staff willing to help. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. The Beatles White has it all. | |
| magnepan I’m surprised to hear that my friends and I attended a 30.7 demo and we’re blown away by their sound. If I had the space and cash I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase them. I’ve found Wendell is always approachable and willing to spend time answering y... | |
| help choosing a turn table Enjoy your purchase, I'm sure it will workout fine. I've never heard a Rega but they must be doing something right to sell so many tt. Whatever you buy folks will criticize, if there was a perfect company we would only have one option. | |
| What rock swings? Try some Ginger Baker with Cream, Spoonful comes to mind. That was one of his criticisms of rock drummer's that they didn't know how to swing. Charlie Watts who also came to rock from jazz also had swing. | |
| Going to replace my Fluance rt85 Another happy VPI owner, I have the Aries Scout with JMW 9"" arm. You can pick up a great deal used that's how I got mine. I would also say start with the phono pre and cartridge. |
