Greg Kihn @woofman74 Very Cool! Lots of those Parkwest shows were discounted tickets via WRXT. Those were the days when concerts were affordable. Loads of fun and memories. | |
Greg Kihn I used to see Greg Kihn regularly in Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's. He was a great rock n' roller. Great band. His live shows were awesome. I have some live tapes around here somewhere. His hits were no where near as satisfying as h... | |
Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Every time I see Chad Kassam I tell him that they need to put out Spirit “Twelve dreams of Dr. Sardonicus’ on Analog Productions. Their quality reissues would make this recording sound incredible. It’s amazing already but, wow, I would love to he... | |
For those familiar with Sonus Faber Yes, Yes, Yes!! Budget matters, of course, but so does room size. I’ve owned both Serafino and Amati’s. When I jumped up to Amati’s the room blossomed with a much fuller soundstage. Can’t go wrong with either but best to invest now and not be ... | |
Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner. With a MT-10, and assuming you also have a high value cartridge, you should not be playing vinyl that is not cleaned well. Period. Utrasonic is the standard in my opinion. Several have been mentioned here. I have used the Audio Desk Systeme for... | |
Napping while listening Retired at 60 and love it. Busy as ever. How did I find the time before. Listening to every record I own and entering it into Discogs. A multi year process. | |
Mcintosh customer support I often think about firmware updates, but never get around to it. Kinda figure, right or wrong, since the equipment is hooked up to the Ethernet that it would update itself. A couple of times when I checked the status of my McIntosh gear it said... | |
Rigid outlets for Heavy cables @erik_squires OMG, I have been looking for ages to find something that brings the outlets forward from the box. I have a bunch of add on outlets and poor do-it-yourself construction in this house that we recently purchased. Often times the met... | |
WiFi Satellite Causing Phono Stage Interference @erik_squires Hey Eric, just an FYI for ya, and for me actually. I purchased a iFi power cord. I tried that cord where the Orbi is (has been). Some minor change but didn’t remove the fluttering phono stage meter. Then I moved the Orbi away an... | |
Humminguru record cleaner Is this Shaklee Stuff really OK to use on LPs? I question household cleaners on vinyl, just out of principle, not out of experience. | |
WiFi Satellite Causing Phono Stage Interference @erik_squires Yes, I have the Ethernet going directly from the Orbi to the streamer. I have a Mac Power Conditioner (Controller) and the Orbi is plugged into it, with all the other components. Not sure what it means to keep it out of the clean ... | |
What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? @chayro Thanks for the response. I have two turntables, in different rooms, with the same cartridge. I think I will call these outfits and ask about retipping for my specific cartridge. Would really like to know if it is worn. Then, if the one... | |
What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? I still wonder how you know your cartridge needs to have the stylus tip replaced? Other than the purchase of a $1200 microscope, how do you know. I don’t track the hours played. Plus, if a stylus starts to degrade, it is a gradual process and I wo... | |
Favorite Obscure Rock Song Sufficiently Breathless by Captain Beyond | |
How noisy is my line? Audio Prism Noise Sniffer I had a demo of the audio sniffer thingy. It really worked. Plugged into outlets and they were quite noisy. Then plugged into a power conditioner and which had barely any noise coming from the sniffer. |
