| Salamander Quality I bought a single 40 (w/side panels and glass door) around 1999 - then in 2005 I bought a single 30 in the same configuration. Both are on casters ( a *big* plus). They are built pretty well. I think their main strength is good looks - - they are ... | |
| Record cleannig fluid to Nitty Gritty Mini pro 1 I've been using Nitty Gritty Pure 2 for over 20-years - first with my NG 2.5, now with my Loricraft PRC-4. Pure 2 does a nice job on most records. For the really dirty ones, I use *Smart* available from the U.S. distributor for Loricraft. | |

| Reel to Reel Repair in Houston? I have two suggestions for you:1. Check with Save On Sound at 5003 Antoine, Suite B. I've had several (non-tape deck) repairs made there, always with good results. The fellow who owns the business (I think his name is "Tom" Tranh) does repair old ... | |
| Sinatra on MFSL I received both LPs yesterday (backordered from Music Direct). Just gave *Nice 'N' Easy* a listen, and . . . . it's superb! Great performance, great sound - thick, quiet vinyl - - no complaints here. | |
| Vinyl on the Radio Ghousthouse - Sirius's Classic Vinyl channel (14) plays rock music from the "vinyl era" -- but the medium is cd - - not vinyl. Great music, nonetheless. | |
| Graham, Naim Aro, or Linn arms? I've had a Naim Aro on my LP-12 (mated to an Ortofon Jubilee cartridge) since 2001. Sublime combo.One small caveat on the Aro: unless Naim has changed things since 2001, it does *not* come with a cueing device, so unless you add your own, you will... | |
| Popping from tube integrated amp Word from the local repair shop is that the tube driver circuit on the right channel shorted out. The short trashed the two ('spensive NOS) EL34's powering the right channel, so there goes some $$ down the drain. Anyone know how common it is to ha... | |
| Popping from tube integrated amp Phd - - I pitched the Chinese tubes when I got the NOS Mullards. I've got some new (matched quad) Yugoslav Ei Fat Bottle 6CA7's I bought from Kevin Deal a couple of years ago, which I may end of using. Tejas Tubes (a sometime-presence here on Aud... | |
| Popping from tube integrated amp So the consensus is I've got a bad power tube (?) - - I have another set I can swap in. Will try to do that in the next several days. (I've taken the Eastern Electric off-line and am using a back-up Denon SS integrated. Pain in the ass - - - will ... | |
| Low Hours Phono Cartridges? Regarding measuring hours on a cartridge, I learned a trick here on Audiogon some years back: I have "click" counters for each of my (currently) four cartriges. After each side of a record, I religiously click the counter. If I ever decide to sell... | |
| Best Benny Goodman recordings Audphile - If small group combos are what you're after, keep in mind the (now oop) Mosaic 4-CD set - *Complete Capitol Small Group Recordings of Benny Goodman 1944-1955* (MD4-148). I've owned it on vinyl (6-LPs) for a good number of years and stil... | |
| Best Benny Goodman recordings From the heyday of Swing: 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert. Originally issue by Columbia on 78's - - reissued in the 6-eye era on LP and, I'd bet, now available on CD. A classic.If you'd like to sample before buying, download *Sing, sing, sing* (live ve... |
