| The Debate's Not Over Dave Carke 5 Hmmmmm?! Please, Not one five star album in the bunch. The Beatles rarely fell short of five stars. Wasn't it enough that the stones followed up with Their Satanic Majesties Request only after Mick sat dumbfounded in owe at the reco... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rushton, Thank you for the gracious offer, I may take you up on that some time in the future. The last time I visited your fair city was for a Paul Cezanne retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in August of 1996. You share quite the beau... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rushton, I'm delighted to hear the improvement was that palpable. From what you and quite a few others have said about the handy work of Lloyd Walker in past, I'm not surprised that it took 10 seconds or the fact that Ann and yourself are not loo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rushton, What's up with the new amp stands, I would presume, for the Atma-Sphere mono blocks? IÂm all-ears. Did you and your fellow audiophile wife (lucky guy) get down to some SERIOUS comparative listening this holiday? Presently I have MA-1 Mk2... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Merry Christmas to all my vinyl listening friends out there!Cheers to all of you! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bdgregory, That first America album is nice indeed. I have a white label promo copy of it, yet I find the stock first press copy to be outstanding. When that record came out in 1972 it influenced many great musicians such as Crosby, Stills, & ... | |
| Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI? OK Bryans, Here is what I think... You already have the LP12 and I don't hear any complaints, Why not upgrade? Well, the VPI Scoutmaster is one sexy deck and with their JMW arm you will get VTA on the fly. Something you don't have with the Ittok L... | |
| Mood lighting Forgot the most important mood lighting source... a pair of Atma-Sphere mono blocks really set the mood. Tubes are good for more than sound. Happy Listening! | |
| Anyone ever modified a MP 1 Mk 11 Atma Sphere Pre It doesn't get much better than Atma-Sphere OTL's ;^) Unless of course Ralph has an upgrade, cut to the chase, call Ralph. Happy Listening! | |
| Mood lighting My living room, which is dedicated to the two channel Hifi has Kovacs feather lamps (halogen) lighting throughout. I also employ a blue LED task lamp with dimmer clipped to my TT shelf support and have Aesthetix Calypso pre amp and Rhea phono amp ... | |
| Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI? I have had an Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso now for about one year and a Sondek LP12/Ittok LVII since 1983 with no regrets whatsoever. I could go on and on at length about the musical value of these choices, but I'll spare everyone that for now. Suff... | |

| Nakamichi Cassette Decks Nakamichi was the king of analog decks. There were other nice decks but in total performance others usually paled.I still have a ZX-7 that sounds great. IMHO it is the top of the heap with manual azimuth alignment on the record head, manual bias a... | |

| Record Cleaning Machines Bgrazman, Rushton makes an excellent point about convenience. I think the VPI machines are hard to beat because they really make it about as painless as it gets to seriously scrub up those great old vintage finds. I also employ the Disc Doctor flu... |
