| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Thanks for invite. Good idea. I'm drop you an email off-thread. Of course, if it turns out to be OK Chez Deacon, I'll have to abduct you and Paul to try and figure out the problem in WH. And if you have not yet gotten your Mint-tractor you can get... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Fortunately, the Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live is back in print. Marco- If you like the Nuno Bettancourt and his percussive style (which I do, thx for the tip) also try Kaki King. Other than Badi Assad, the only woman in the list so far. | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Genesis- the vinyl looks fine and was cleaned with Nitty Gritty prior to first (attempted) play. | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Johnnyb53- my rig tracks the first NJ 180 gm LP just fine so I'm thinking its the pressing, now that I hear others are having trouble, too. I've been reluctant to try the damping fluid; my system does not, I don't think, need to be "toned down" (p... | |
| In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most? Thanks for the kind words. Now if someone could only figure out how to get my TT to track the new Norah Jones 180 gm Live in Austin Tx. I know she takes a beating here sometimes, but I am a big fan. Anyone that can integrate jazz, blues and countr... | |

| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP The little sucker jumps right out of the grooves on the some of the bass notes; sometimes a good 3/16" of the radius. I do not use damping fluid on the Schroeder. Tracking at 1.8 gms. | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Same problem here. Teres TT, Shroeder M2 arm, ZYX Universe Airy-2. I thought it was my table! | |
| is getting a tube pre a valid option with ss amp? A very commonly executed configuration. | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? Mboldda1 is probably thinking of the rothwell in line attenuators. IIRC they were 12 dB but I could be wrong. | |
| How good is the Dodd battery powered preamp ? Any thoughts on teh Dodd vs. the line stage in a VAC Ren Mk2 (not Sig)? | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Some fantastic stuff on Nils Lofgren "Acoustic Live" which has been re-issued. Highly recommended. | |
| Funniest agon screen names Clueless was a favorite and missed in this quarter. | |
| New Stand config brings about new TT problems I think that you are correct about the bracing. |
