| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones Interesting question, I thank the gods of music it's only hypothetical. The respective contributions of each band are so different, it's hard for me to compare them. The Beatles seem to have had huge influence on the mainstream of popular songcraf... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... The Left Bank, "Walk Away Renee," 1966. | |
| SFCD- 1 PROBLEMS I called Anthem's service dept. about SFCd-1 service issues a year ago, they were still able to service them. If it's a problem with the laser, partsconnexion can't repair that, it has to go back to Anthem I was told by Chris Johnson. (Anthem, as ... | |
| Effect of Humidity on Speakers Hey, I live in Florida, we have air conditioning down here. That keeps the indoor humidity at around 55% in the wet and sticky season, it's less in the cooler times. Besides, most speakers are impregnated with some sort of material which renders t... | |
| Anybody compared Wally's PS GCPH mod to stock? You might be interested, the site www.10audio.com has recently published a review comparing the stock vs. modded GCPH units. The author was most impressed with both versions, but really liked the modded version. | |
| Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring I agree with Hdm, you'll get a broader view from respondents by posting this question at the VinylAsylum. I can't comment on the Goldring 1012, but I can tell you the higher up the line Goldring 1042 rocks REAL good, I really like that cartridge's... | |
| Bowling alley lane wood for component tables? You know, I've never personally tested alternative woods to maple platforms, but maple is the consensus of most who have. If you go to Mapleshade records & audio's website, their chief designer gives quite an account of those woods he did try,... | |
| How do I glue my magnet back on The key to good adhesion is geting the mating surfaces clean, very clean. Do that with whatever means is required, steel wool maybe, solvents like alcohol or lacquer thinner may help. Just don't get sloppy and spill solvents where they may delamin... | |
| Reasonably accurate, inexpensive dB meter--ideas? The required subtractive or additive compensatory values at each sampled frequency are readily available for the Rat Shack meter, a calibrated unit isn't absolutely required---just a little math. A search over on AudioAsylum netted results for me ... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Bill Frisell, James McMurtry, Aimee Mann, anything by the Finn brothers & Cassandra Wilson. | |
| Acoustic Foam Panels - Blu Tack ??? I've thought about this myself. The idea of using adhesives on a wall is unpalatable, it's absolutely going to leave a mess to clean up when they come down. Panels function better if there is an airspace behind them, so with that in mind this is w... | |
| I live in West Palm Beach Florida. Try these guys, www.angelfire.com/art2/stereorepair117/highend.htmThey've repaired a lot of Luxman gear and their prices are reasonable. | |
| Rockstar Supernova Even though they are a group comprised of a great bass player and a less than stellar drummer and guitarist, they are pros. I give em props for surviving in a short attention span industry. If you ignore Dave Navarro's constant "male in heat" sexu... | |
| Can I clean my records manually? Your supposition about dirt being softer than vinyl overlooks one extremely important factor, the extreme heat and pressure generated at the point of stylus contact. During that brief moment, those prodigious stresses soften the vinyl so that it i... | |
