Whats on your turntable tonight?
Rushton,My first reaction to "Il Cornetto" is how delicate and airy the lute/guitar passages are as they weave through the soundscape. A lot of people may pass this recording by fearing the "acquired taste" of harpsichord, but the combination of t...

Whats on your turntable tonight?
R f,I have to append my answer: They weren't all issued in the same year, or in the early 80's. I didn't take into account "Beggar's Banquet" and a couple of others. My other guess would have been that each LP was the second effort for each artist...

What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp
I bought a Sansui AU6500 integrated amp, new, in Sept. 1974. Over 30 years later, it is still going strong, only problem with it is the little orange LED to indicate it was on burned out about 25 years ago. As a matter of fact, the amp is doing du... 
Marantz Esotec SM-1000 amp. Fraud ALert Ebay
I'm never one to defend flea-bay on anything. But, that being said, I have done business with the seller on the retail level and was very satisfied.I would be a little suspicious of the run up in the bids, but I don't think TFTA is doing it. They ... 
Shelter 501mk2 on a vpi superscout w/ jwm9 sig arm

Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Albert,You want some fun? How about trying the CLC "Clever Little Carp" You mount it on the wall and everytime you walk by it sings Patricia Barber songs - thereby recalibrating your ears prior to a listening session. I would suggest you introduce...
