| Isolation platform - Gingko vs Mapleshade Here is my rule of thumb: any type of rubber, sorbothane , any sort of lossy material will have the initial affect of being superior. However, later, you will find that you are missing transparency, transient response, PRAT. Upon extended listenin... | |
| Audio Desk & it's service Your dealer should have taken a more proactive role! I would not deal with that dealer in the future. | |
| Fozgometer Onhwy61: I get your drift... I think I would have contacted Musical Surroundings before posting this thread. However, maybe the reason for this thread was that MS was contacted and no credible response? | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight I think it's important to note that these devices work differently in every individual set-up. IE: differing TTs, in association with varying platforms etc... IMO, there is no ONE "best" record weight clamp that will work equally well in the major... | |
| Best recorded rock song ? "Summer" & "Low Rider" off of War "Greatest Hits" United Artist label. | |
| Interesting new music ...to that end... an artist I just found, Steve Gunn. This lp "Way Out Weather" is excellent!It does a soul good to "search out" stuff, instead of having it handed to you. | |
| Interesting new music Scott-w: the reason I didn't put artist name in subject line was purposeful. In hopes, others searching for different artists may click on to see what others may find interesting and add to it. By putting just one artist on, that limits the purpos... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl Here's one I've always thought was pretty much perfect. It doesn't do audiophile gymnastics but has perfect balance and should be a reference for all modern music... War "Greatest Hits" United Artists label. | |
| Heart- Little Queen Friday Music LP The problem (as I see it) regarding the new crop of re-issues is to have a GOOD reference. This is where the music can be lost forever.I hope all who are considering buying audiophile remasters, have a good reference to judge them buy. We are the ... | |
| Heart- Little Queen Friday Music LP My bad.. I did find my early copy of America "S/T. It does sound better in almost every way compared to FM's. It's more light on it's feet, transparent, has increased transient response. The music sounds as if it has been freed! | |
| Heart- Little Queen Friday Music LP Yes "The Album". I happen to have an extraordinary copy. The conundrum is... should I give in to the hype.. or just stick with my GREAT copy? I can only imagine my copy would be branded by Tom Port as a "White Hot Stamper" selling for $500.00 +!No... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl Albertporter: My copy is a "Linn Seleckt", from back in the day. (Don't know if that makes a difference).Janis Joplin "I've Got dem O'l Kozmic Blues Again Mama" Speakers Corner, Sonny Boy Williamson "Keep it to Ourselves" QRP. | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl I've written about this elsewhere... Frazey Ford "Obadiah".Slightly bass heavy but otherwise great! | |
| Heart- Little Queen Friday Music LP I must say that years ago I swore off any more FM purchases because of the darkness/muffled dynamics. This was years ago, I've since had several enhancements to my system. I've just recently thought about listening to them again.I'm enjoying them ... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl OK, I put myself out there in a big way by reviewing this set. It seems that a few others disagree on "Revolver". I've made my points. I'd appreciate the opinions of those who still think "Revolver" is one of the better sounding lps in this set. (... |
