| Whats on your turntable tonight? Speaking of Steppenwolf, check out this Bob Calvert/Hawkwind gem. You've got to listen to the whole track. Steppenwolf | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Isaac Stern - None but the Lonely Heart - Plays Great Violin Favorites (Columbia Masterworks 1963) Just sublime. | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice @ghdprentice Nice Freudian slip. High end streamers can be very insensitive to their input since they isolate and cash the bits | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @asvjerry You must be wiped. ...I like pot in volume, too... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I’m a fan of the Pablo Basie records: The Gifted Ones, Basie & Dizzy Gillespie, The 3 Basie Jams, Basie & Zoot Sims. I’ve a bunch of his big band work but the later ones above are just wonderful. Speaking of Joe Williams, his A Man Ain’t ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slipknot1 I always thought you were pushing up the daisies, so welcome back to the land of the living. What were you doing for 15 years? Just hanging out waiting for the right time? I’ve been absent for about 15 of those. | |

| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @erik_squires Like these? DACT audio attenuators DACT Shop CT2 Stepped Audio Attenuators - DACT Interesting that these probably would fit but I’m not sure how well SMD resistors sound, and I wasn’t gonna take a $300 tryout! If I was building my ... | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @erik_squires No. There’s not enough room to fit a discrete unit. The TACOS are carbon wipers whereas the Alps were plastic film. And, truth be told, I’m somewhat frugle in wringing out the best bang for the buck. | |
| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. Thanks @viridian. I've played a bunch of tracks to get a measure on the changes. Everything is louder–much more dynamic, music soars–it's almost unsettling, deeper bass, sweeter highs, more air, hidden instruments and voices revealed. | |
