| What stole your attention from HiFi? Autio and others,You and loving cars! Ah, the American male. Slappy's keeping it alive.My Nova ran mid tens at 5500 feet corrected elevation. Small block, one carb, pump gas, through the mufflers on street tires. Oh yeah, a stick too. No nitrous o... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Slappy,I'm proud of you for keeping V8 American iron in the forefront. (Green One, you are forgiven) My advice at this time is to stop with the horsepower, concentrate on handling and looks and stay in audio. The way gas prices are going it will b... | |
| Turn Table upgrade, please advise Linkoping,I was speaking in very general terms. It's simply a pecking order of where the investment should go first. A person buys the best table they can afford with the best bearing offered. That's the heart of the entire assembly and is key to ... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hey guys I would have been right there with you a few months ago but after reading the book I feel compelled to understand at least somewhat. The crux of the story is that John Coltrane was extremely spiritual. He grew up the son of a minister and... | |

| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Nope, I don't have those either. What I have is mostly the albums that sound like they're killing barnyard animals. You know, Meditations numbers 1 thru them all. I do have a couple of his with the early quartets that are great. I recently moved a... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Smokester,Love your moniker. I've thought of that MP3 player thing too. I've ripped all of my CD's into my computer but no longer use digital in my main system. I don't have a player and can't justify the expense. NOTE: DON'T ANYONE DARE SEND ME A... | |
| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? The Roger Huyssen artwork is incredible. His jazz album covers have instruments in human poses and are incredibly fun. I have three of them framed. The vinly themselves are audiophile grade. He has a website where you can buy prints of his work. T... | |
| Turn Table upgrade, please advise Entry level Schroder arm at $2150. That arm will do justice to a Universe! Honestly, I think it's the buy of the century in tonearms. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I received the ZYX R100H Yatra 2 today. Steve was kind enough to come over and install it rather than me using my shakey hands. I've got to say that right out of the box I was totally blown away. Of course, there are issues to be resolved through ... | |
| Signal or Transparent speaker cables??? I appreciate what the others are saying about the room especially and perhaps the equipment. That being said I'm of the opinion that you need real performance cables to even know if the equipment is any problem at all. Being familiar with the Mons... | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? Eldartford,As the poster child for the type of behavior I take issue with it doesn't surprise me that you ask this question. If you don't get it then there's no use trying to explain. You must be very lonely. | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? Ejliu,Jneutron didn't say what you allude to. You don't get it, or more likely are trying to deflect justified criticisms. The fact is, in most applications of metals undergoing cryo treatment there is NO heat treatment. Of course, I suppose that ... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone That was a really cool post Bin. All of you guys have been so nice to me. Now, get this. What should be pretty lazy days because I get up without any plans almost always turn out to be very full. Man, I must have gotten five calls yesterday from a... |
