| Whats on your turntable tonight? @michaelwise, very cool and excellent music. That reminds me to get out my original copy of Return To Forever, 'Romantic Warrior'. Sounds to me like a good one to play tonight, following 'Avalon'. I have a pending order for the soon-to-release ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hey, thanks for the heads-up earlier in this thread about the Buffalo Springfield box set. I just now bought one of the remaining copies. I'm looking very forward to receiving it. Awesome music!Bryan Ferry; 'Boys and Girls' What a great album,... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? I coil mine around the water heater much differently. I go from top to bottom, and it must be a minimum of three wraps. Phenomenal difference! Enlightening to the Nth degree. Though I am kidding, of course, somebody might actually try this. O... | |
| Length of speaker cables steven0713,First of all, the quote from Richard Vandersteen is absolutely correct. This is my experience. I went from 15' to 8' of the same Rocket 88 speaker cable and found a slight, but noticeable difference in details against a black background... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I also have Joni Mitchel 'Court & Spark' on Nautilus. I listened to it just a few weeks ago. Sounds great! I have always loved that album since it first released and still have my original copy, too. I have her album 'Blue' on order. I u... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? uberwaltz, thanks for that information. I'll clean up my copy of the one I have, today, and listen to it. Here's a short story about Hot Tuna. I had tickets to a Jefferson Airplane and Moody Blues concert at the Forum. I can't remember the rea... | |
| What other hobby... I'm with oldheavymech in that I have a lot of gas still in the tank. That said...Downhill skiing. I enjoy the art of tuning my skis and getting the most out of them. Quick, sharp, and precise turns that secure the most g-force.Offshore fishing.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_damon,I have an original copy of Hot Tuna but mine shows RCA Records from 1971. I'm not sure if there was an album released prior to the one I have. So I have a question. Is the one you have a gatefold jacket that is blue & yellow swirle... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Loggins & Messina / 'Full Sail'I have a "Super Disc" copy done by Direct-Disc Labs who, when in business, were located in Nashville. Though they did make actual direct-to-disc recordings those were rather few. They did, however, get licensed... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw,I also have a 1973 Track copy of Quadrophenia (by the way, I saw the North American tour of Quadrophenia at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, CA. in 1974). It's in VG++ condition and sounds good. However, last year I secured a "new" copy of... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw,I first listened to a few albums as a warmup, for my tubes as well as for me. Now that my system was in best-sound operation (and I had a hit along with some wine) I too was in best-sound reception mode.The vinyl of that Alan Parsons Mo/Fi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? tomic60, the Zappa album 'Apostrophe' sounds quite good, but just a little over EQd on the top end. The album prior to that one, titled 'Overnight Sensation' is probably the best SQ record from all of the Zappa collection.'Joe's Garage' is anothe... | |
| put tube amp on to shelf of a rack Or, get the Symposium Foundation Rack. It can support the weight of your amp and there is ample room on the bottom shelf for allowing the amp to breathe and remain cool. There is plenty of space above the amp that allows heat to dissipate and mi... | |
| Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut Thank you for your prompt reply. The wine analogy makes perfect sense, and I can surely relate. My units on order are in black-gloss but I will assume that for the first US delivery all finishes will have arrived at the same time. If so then mi... |
