| Advice on mistracking or some problem How often do you clean your stylus? Do a discussion forum search for Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Magic Eraser can be purchased in the cleaning products dept of a grocery store. They are white, ultrafine textured scouring sponges. A small piece can be ... | |
| Donald Byrd -- "Mustang " -- A First Listen Fightingwords,Check out Dexter Gordon's "One Flight Up", recorded in 1964, probably my favorite Blue Note album. Gordon is the headliner, with Byrd on trumpet, Kenny Drew piano, Art Taylor on very prominent drums, and Niels-Henning Orsted on Bass.... | |
| Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ? Jonk78,I've been using a 4BSST for 3 years with my 3.6Rs and couldn't be happier. I'm running a CJ Premier 17LS tubed preamp, and think it is a great combo for my 14w X 23l x 13h room. Rich and lush. Bass response depends a lot on the room and how... | |
| Stereo Separation - Turntable Dmloring, This is a long time favorite album of mine. I first bought it on CD many years ago, and it had the extreme hard left and right stereo. Later, I bought a copy of it for a friend, and the newer copy was an RVG remastered version. The Rudy ... | |
| Refrigerator noise My thoughts are the same as Winoguy17's. Remove the front grill and the easy to remove cardboard covers from the rear and vacuum all the dust you can. About a month ago our 20 year old fridge was beginning to get noticably louder to the point that... | |
| Speaker wiring question Eldartford,Thanks for the caution. I'll settle for the way I have it.MnMark | |
| Looking for help with a Vintage Black Widow arm. Breuninger,I am currently running a CF Black Widow with a AT150mlx on my TD-124 and couldn't be happier. I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I like this combo better than an SME 3009 series II improved with an Ortofon Black that I also own. I... | |
| Can you point me to CDs with awesome stage? Good point Ben, I stand corrected. The reverence to the Iron Mountain CD is correct though. | |
| Sax 101... Ckorody,Thanks for taking the time to post your summary. I like a lot of the artists mentioned, but it helps immeasurably to have it put into a quick to read timeline context. I will have to check out the recommended books also. | |
| Vintage Thorens strobe bulb, anybody? The previously mentioned site is actually "theanalogdept.com", and is full of useful info. You can actually order a bulb from schopper at: http://www.schopper.ch/static/services/z_top_audio/Neutrik/TD_6001_EN.htmlnot sure what the exchange rate is... | |
| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? Jmudrick,I have an Audio-Technica 150MLX, and it is a pretty high compliance cartridge. As such, it should be used with a low mass tonearm. Low mass is not the same thing as adjusting the tracking force lighter. As I recall, it sounded very good o... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD It is not my intent to steal the thunder from this thread, but on a related note, it seems that DCD is in the process of having remastered albums rereleased on 180g vinyl. I have original copies of most of their LPs, and they are a treat. Acoustic... | |
| Which Recordings Have Widest Soundstage I mentioned this one in a previous response to a similar thread a few months ago, and I actually got a reply in agreement with me. The West disc from Bill Frisell's "East West" has the widest soundstage with the most front to rear depth of any dis... | |
| Synergy - how to get there From a science standpoint, synergy might be defined as the combined effect of the parts yielding a greater difference than the summed effects of the individual parts. In science, perhaps unlike audio, studies often deal with real, measurable numbe... | |
| Frisell/Krauss subliminal Pink Floyd Tribute ?? Olson jr, Yes, I did see Frisell about a year ago at a small local venue. He was great to listen to live, and did some songs that I haven't heard him play before. He did I think 3 Dylan songs (maybe due to local interest), and it was fun to try to... |
