| Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable I tried a felt mat when I had a WTT years ago, but I didn't like it. Seemed to take a little life away from the sound. | |
| Record Clamp for Well Tempered Turntable I agree with Schipo, their best clamp would be the right choice. You might not even be able to use the others anyway, as isn't the WTT spindle threaded for the clamp? | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? I used a friend's SG Standard for a while back in high school (Eric Clapton had used one with Cream, so it was a hot guitar for a while), I thought it was pretty nice. Of course, at the time I was using a Harmony solid body guitar which wasn't all... | |
| tuner to tube preamp Have you tried another input on your preamp? | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? I actually live about 10 miles from Hoboken, NJ, where my Guild was made. While I preferred the sound of a Martin 6-string to a Guild, I felt the opposite at the time about their 12-string guitars. | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? I play a 1968 Guild F-212 12-string guitar. I learned guitar on a beautiful rosewood Martin which was, unfortunately for me, borrowed. Wish I still had that one as well. | |
| Need help with Jadis JA200 You should check to see just how old your Jadis amps are and whether the transformers in them are the originals (optimized for the KT88/6550 or EL34 types) or the newer ones, which may have been optimized for the KT90s. While all of these types ma... | |
| My new CDP does SACD too.... T-bone, that Bis recording you mentioned is a terrific one. As a rule, the SACDs on that label are very good, as are most of the Telarcs. I forgot to mention the Ondine label, which does recordings of both the Philadelphia (live concert recordings... | |
| My new CDP does SACD too.... Any of the San Francisco Symphony's Mahler cycle (on their own label), take your pick, though I particularly like the 4th and 6th Symphony recordings. Also, the Harmonia Mundi releases have been uniformly very good to excellent--the de Falla Tri-C... | |
| Low-powered, class A, solid-state integrated amps If you go back a lot of years, the Musical (then British) Fidelity A-1 integrated, one of the sweetest-sounding pieces of equipment they ever made. | |
| Out of Print SACD I do have it, it's even sealed. Do you want it for the SACD layer, or just CD? Anyway, please contact me, I'd be willing to sell it if you're interested. By the way, Classic Records released part of this disc as a 24/96 DAD, which I have as well. | |
| Out of Print SACD I may have it--I'll check my collection tonight. | |
| Yet another VPI 16.5 thread I have had mine for about 20 years, no problems with it. Occasionally if you do a lot of records the fluid tank will fill and the unit will shut down until it all evaporates, but that's clearly noted in the manual and is normal. I like the fact th... | |
| NJ Audio Society? I could tell you those, but then I'd have to kill you.Actually, I don't remember them myself, that's why I suggest contacting me. | |
| The Rite of Spring I agree with those of you who are not that impressed with Stravinski's own recording. It often happens that the composers are not the ideal conductors of their own works, unless they also are trained conductors (like Bernstein, Boulez, etc.). I fo... |
