| Review: Salk Sound SoundScape 8 Speaker Thank you for the erudite review. I've contemplated Salk's for years but never felt it was the time to pull the trigger-maybe now is the time. I was interested in the SS 8 since seeing it on Jim's site. Always seems no one reviews any of his speak... | |

| Happy Record Store Day I went to the Record Collector in Bordentown, NJ. Tons of LP's, some very collectable but most between $9 and $19. I dropped a total of $150.00 there for a lot of vinyl, well worth it. They had a woman singing and playing acoustic guitar, she was ... | |

| Street musicians You'll find lots of street musicians playing in Washington Square Park in NYC. especially on weekends. That says nothing about the quality of their playing-some good, some not so much. | |
| Ortofon tonearms ,Static and Dynamic - Difference? I have an AS-309S arm on my TW Akustic Raven One, installed by Jeff Catalano of Highwater Sound in NYC-it was his demo arm and I got a good deal on it. Sounds very good-very clear and dynamic, picks up very little distortion, a little bit towards ... | |
| Your jaw dropping cables Replacing the Audioquest phono cable going from my TW Akustic Raven One to the Fosgate Signature phono pre with Synergistic Tricon Analog. It was then I realized how fogged and dull everything was before but only with the before/after comparison. | |
| Accidentally bought a Quadrophonic LP. OK to play? Fourplay? Sounds like an orgy, Bill. | |
