| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts 1) The Who in 1989 at the Tacoma Dome, 3rd row center, Keith Richards stabbed his hand on the WaWa bar doing his "windmill" thing.No offense but I think you meant to say Pete Townshend. I saw them a show or so later with Pete's hand all bandaged u... | |
| Cable TV Picture Stinks I suffered with similar problems from Comcast. It was worse on the lower number channels 3-10. What worked for me was going over to DirecTV. No more reception issues, and 10.00/month less expensive. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today (so far)David Gilmour "On An Island" EMI import LP. This is an LP that grows on you with repeated listenings. Very well recorded, excellent packaging, quiet surface, and great sonics. Kind of like an introspective Pink Floyd work.Pink Floyd ... | |

| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Steelhead-Thanks for asking. It has to be one of the most eye and ear opening components in existance. I have removed digital playback from my setup altogether. My Wolcott amps have been at the factory being worked on for the last several weeks (h... | |

| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Ait,I do have to agree with Goatwuss on the waiting time. There have been some cases where people have recieved their units in 3-4 months, but the average wait has been in the 6-8 month range. I ordered mine at the end of March 2004, and recieved ... | |
| Vince Welnick R.I. P. Jsonic, Ooooh, forgot about that one. Good catch. My first show was from that 1971 run - April, with the New Riders opening at Alfred Univ. gym. I was a 9th grader. I really caught the bus July 27, 1973 at Watkins Glen. Both of those shows were cl... | |
| Vince Welnick R.I. P. Keith was a good fit as he could weave his piano in and out and all around Jerry's playing. However - to get Keith, you got Donna too. Every time she stepped up to the mic, I would get a cold shiver down my spine. To hear her at her worst, give a ... | |
| What replacement cartridge for BSR Quanta 400? Ait-Whatever you choose, keep an eye on the output voltage. the Chenin has a very flexible gain structure, but I would stay away from high output carts. Anything at 2.5 mV or up will overload the phono stage and result in a disappointing experienc... | |
| anybody have/hear Wolcott with dynamic speakers? Disclaimer: I am a Wolcott owner and use them to drive Magnepan 3.6Rs. I had an opportunity to listen to them before purchasing them with a pair of WATT/Puppies. To me it was a dissappointing combination. Jtinn's use of the word "diffuse" pretty m... | |
| Vince Welnick R.I. P. Keith died as a result of injuries suffered in a car accident. Brent from a speedball overdose (never really determined as to whether or not it was intentional) Speculation is that it was. It took me a while to warm up to Vinnie on keys, but as ti... | |
| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Ait - I am using RCA NOS 6SN7. I am sure there are other good ones as well. As to those who ask "WHY?" or "How much?", why not a Supratek over any other for your first? The cost can be determined by going to Mick's website.I am sure he has read th... | |
| Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp Congratulations! While the wait can seem like forever, once it arrives, it all will have been worth it. Do yourself a favor once it arrives: don't rush into rolling the tubes in it. Mick builds them and ships them with tubes that really do sound g... |
