| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes My unit is an early-production one (comparatively, anyway) and uses the WE 417As. The sound is excellent, this indeed is a top-class phono stage. I have no idea how it would sound with the Rayethons, though I'd expect it's a matter of personal tas... | |
| Duntech DL-15 speakers You should contact Duntech in Australia, they should be able to help, may even maintain replacement drivers for your serial numbers (they did for my old Princesses when I needed to replace the tweeters). I'm not familiar with Duntech's DL series, ... | |
| anyone listen to marching bands? Definitely get the Blast DVD, it's fun to watch. A friend of mine saw the group perform at the NJ Performing Arts Center and ran out to buy the DVD, which I saw at his home on a big screen with audio played over a Dynaudio Evidence Master/Levinson... | |
| CAT JL-2 Mk2 vs LAMM M1.2 ... on WP 6 or 7 Cannot comment on the CATs (the last CAT amps I heard were JL-1s, and they were extraordinary in some respects but overall a little tilted to the bright side for me--that might have also been in part attributable to the Wilson Grand SLAMMS they we... | |
| Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM Record Research Labs has some very good cleaning fluids. And VPI has some, as well, I believe. | |
| Spanish Guitar Glad to see you got the Jason Vieaux disc. I attended a recital of his at Merken Concert Hall in NYC a couple of years ago, he is an outstanding talent and a very nice guy. And an audiophile, he has a Linn Sondek, among other pieces! If you can ge... | |
| anyone listen to marching bands? I have an old record of a fine marching band playing college fight songs, titled "Hail to the Victors", but I guess that wouldn't interest you! UM, class of '72! Go Blue!! | |
| Interconnect test In my system, Kubala Sosna Emotion gets the midrange (as well as the rest of the frequency range) right. Can't speak for your system, though. | |
| MONSTER CD RINGS . How to Remove ? I have a number of discs with the rings as well. I don't know about taking them off, haven't tried (nail polish remover?), but they haven't hurt any CD motor mechanism I've ever had, so I wouldn't worry about that. The only problem I've ever encou... | |
| Argent Audio BOBS Check the archives too, there's a thread from last week, I believe, on this subject started by a very happy user of them. | |
| Sibilance -- that last little bit... I'm hoping someone with more technical experience than I, like Twl or Albert Porter, chimes in, but as I recall the Well-Tempered has a "dished" platter, where the middle is slightly lower than the outer edge of the record when you apply the clamp... | |
| Some random thoughts for Tube newbies Newbee's advice is excellent. Another thing I might mention is that, while I do like the NOS tubes, particularly for their longevity and the fact that my Jadis equipment was originally designed when they weren't NOS, don't automatically dismiss th... | |
| Twisted Lyrics : According to my Google search, it's "Sugarpie honeybunch." Your wife's logic is sound, but then again, whoever said Holland-Dozier-Holland had to be logical? I kind of like my friend's version. Now that we have better playback systems, and the cla... | |
| Twisted Lyrics : Two from back in college. Back in the days of AM radio and inexpensive record players, it was never easy to decipher lyrics of songs from listening to the records. A friend of mine told me that he thought the first words to "Can't Help Myself" by ... | |
