Music starts early
It would also be one channel "only" if your argument held up. Every track has a blank lead in groove. The left channel would be picking up right channel only information and nothing from the blank lead in. So, again, if your argument held up the r... 
Music starts early
In most cases it's the result of the original tape having bled through to the blank lead in portion of the tape. Some have offered that the grooves are spaced too close together and you are picking up information from an adjacent groove. I don't b... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Ray, thanks for thinking about me and the preamp problem. I'm ready to throw in the towel since I'm way over my head here. My opinion is that Mick needs an authorized US repair person. The expense and wasted time shipping gear to Australia and bac...

Who is Steve Kay from Evanston, Ill.? I just received a Nick Drake "Five Leaves Left" Simply Vinyl LP from him. Thank you. I'd love to associate a moniker with the name.

I just returned from Miami. What a gas! I would never have thought that old Lugnut would be soaring so high with the audio eagles. Honestly, I'm so appreciative to have been included with such a select group of very fine people. I also experienced... 
Calling Merlin upgraders
Bobby,Does this mean there will be no Merlin sub? Which other subs measure up in your opinion? 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
Bigtee might be right. I have no experience with passive bi-amping. The tech people might be able to shed some light on this. In my experience they are slow to respond. Expect up to a week to get an answer. 
Calling Merlin upgraders
I don't own these speakers but a friend does and I go to his home often for critical listening sessions. He sent his off for the upgrade and recieved them back around the first of the year. Out of the box they were superior. After about a 300 hour... 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
Kdl6769,Unlike the posters above I share your concern. All Linn amps have the same gain, or at least they did the last time I inquired. I realize you aren't running these Aktiv. Remember though that when one goes Aktiv the cards are available in m...

Ron,I've pondered who David Roth reminds me of and I can't think of a single successful singer/songwriter. He does remind me of several club performers I've heard in my life that couldn't get the crowd up and dancing and drinking til they fall dow...

Steve sat down at his computer to share the information about the recording I referred to above but Audiongon must have been rebooting or something and it didn't get posted. So, with all the spare time I enjoy I figured I'd do the typing instead.T... 
Upgrade my Turntable????
At this level of performance an interconnect change will make more difference than a new table. Still, I'm an advocate of improving the source if you can clearly afford it, especially in the analog realm as the upgrade is long lasting if not life ...
