| grateful dead remasters Most of the Dick's Picks series have very HQ sound given the fact that they were taken from live tapes. I would draw your attention to Dick's Picks Vol 3 May 1977 from Pembroke Pines, FL. This recording was made by the famous Betty Cantor-Jackson.... | |
| B&K vs Adcom – opinions please Wow- tough choice as far as I'm concerned. I have used both the Adcom GFA 535 and the B&K ST140 amps to drive a pair of Magnepan SMGa speakers in the late 80's. I liked what both could do with these relatively inefficient speakers in the small... | |
| Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans? Lugnut-Bonneville and Black Rock are my other two performance car fetishes! There is something wild about flat out "how fast can you go" Gary Gabelich was one of my idols as a kid. | |
| Clean Your Cables??? Using a static sheet will also leave your cables smelling just washed fresh ;)Ernie is right. Humidify, humidify, humidfy! It will also greatly reduce the chances of a damaging static discharge to the caps in your pre and around your turntable. | |
| DIY Record Shelves? Thanks to everyone for the responses.Shersta: I have one similar to yours. It's a record rack from a library that got rid of it's LP collection. It's full!Rives:Thank you! This is just what I was looking for! I downloaded and printed the plans and... | |
| Opinions on Sunfire, Carver Lightstar amps Bob Carver's Signature products are excellent performers. I think they are far better than most folks give them credit for. They are built like tanks, very good looking, high quality input and output connectors (much higher grade than the non-sign... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it I second that Twl!My epiphany was verified when my own non-audiophile wife commented after a record side ended one evening: "that sounded better than any CD I've ever heard. Now I understand". Friends think I'm crazy when I tell them vinyl really ... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? Rushton-I thought I would cross-post to your thread from mine on the Southern New Jersey club. I would be interested in getting together with folks on your side of the Delaware River. My home and system are available as a location for some listeni... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Hi Duddley-What part are you in? We have just started (albeit informally) something down here in Southern NJ. We got 4 people together at my place on 2/1. Audioman4: check your email.Rushton (Phila. Audio group): If you read this, I see you recent... | |
| Who is the Youngest Audiogoner?? Aroc,My name comes from one of my favorite Grateful Dead tunes:Slipknot!, from the Blues For Allah LP. I get a lot of assumptions that it's for "that other band". Thinking maybe I should change it to something more staid like my real name. My ISP ... | |
| Who is the Youngest Audiogoner?? If you ask my wife, she'll say me! My chronlogical age is in the 40's, but I am like a little kid on Christmas when it comes to audio. | |
| What is your listening room like? My room is approx. 26x20x10, with the ceiling sloping from a height of 10ft along one long wall to 8ft along the opposite long wall. It is also our living room. Most of the gear is located in a closet just outside the room. Speakers and turntable ... | |
| Is 2 channel dead? I bought an expensive processor and a 5 channel amp. Only use the processor for movies, and only use the front channels of the amp most of the time. Since upgrading my vinyl rig, I can say that not only is 2 channel NOT dead, analogue and vinyl pl... | |
