| Insolvency If they were an authorized dealer for the products in question, selling with a manufacturer's warranty (i,e., not a grey market item or used item without a transferable warranty), the fact that the warranty card might not have been sent in shouldn... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title None, really, Slawney--I'm thankful for the excellent job he did. And I can sweeten the strings a little with a choice of tubes in the MC stage of my preamp. So I guess I'm more than happy with the way things are; the greatness of the performances... | |
| Too Little Choice Keis, you could ask the same question as to why do movie producers prefer sequels--the answer is what do they feel comfortable is going to sell. Naxos avoids big production costs by using less expensive orchestras, so they have a little more leewa... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Frank, you're definitely right about the sweeter highs on the originals vs. the Classics. Part of this is offset by the better bass, dynamics, transparency and getting closer to the master tape, but yeah, I would not have minded tube mastering eit... | |
| Best Vibes in Jazz Gary Burton, who used to play with Stan Getz, was one of the best in the 60's and 70's. Since I went to the same high school as Stan's sons at that time, we were lucky enough to hear him play in our school. Excellent player. Unfortunately, I don't... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Khan, sorry, I blamed you incorrectly for Kitch 29's infidelity! My apologies, sir. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? By the way, Albert, a very nice gesture on the RR fluid. I guess that was going to be one of the party favors at the BBQ that was to be held at your place till the fickle Khan moved it to the place with the more expensive system??? | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Great thread! I'm particularly grateful to Albert for the RR Image Restorer final wash recommendation, as I've liked the Last preservative but noticed the same treble rolloff as Frap and had accepted it as either my imagination or else a necessary... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers I finally checked out his site and I gotta come down on the side of Detlof and Tubegroover on this one. I do agree with a lot of the points Salvatore makes (the refusal of Pearson to criticize Wilson speakers till well afterward when reviewing a l... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title David: Yes, you are not alone. Now, where should we send our respective bills for this therapy? | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Khawk, I believe that there are very few of those 1S/1S stampers around, as they were too dynamic for almost all of the record playing systems of the day. The lowest number I think RCA released in bulk (and which I found) was a 10S/10S, if I recal... | |
| Help me salvage my rack You can go the route suggested by Edle, or try a device like an innertube or similar inflatable rubber bladder under each component to act as an isolation device (one of our NJ Audio Society members has demonstrated conclusively to me the effectiv... | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos Actually, Eldon's post confirms a similar statement that another cable manufacturer, now no longer actively making cables, told me a few years ago, which I had not noted earlier because I didn't really believe it. He had found that 8 foot minimum ... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title While I never used to do this in my foolish youth (vinyl was always around, just go to the record store and pick up another copy if you scratched your copy), I have been doing this for years with the reissues, figuring that they won't be around fo... | |
| InnerSound s New Sub Woofer As you know, Angela and Plato, stereo subs would be even better! Can you imagine the pressure these monsters could generate? I recall a story where a small stereo shop, years ago, demonstrating TDL transmission line speakers with very deep bass re... |
