| It's a Bad Movie, But It Was Fun to Watch Anyway I think "Return of the Living Dead" is a very entertaining but gory horror movie with a lot of tongue in cheek laughs in it. "The Giant Claw" is a classic '60s monster flick with a flying rubber chicken as the monster. Hilarious. "Monty Python and... | |
| Time to get things straight. I totally disagree with the idea that Rega is overpriced. They are some of the lower priced tables on the market. The Nad version is commonly seen for around $250! How much cheaper do you want? The complaint of quality level is unfounded because t... | |
| I need advice on Lowthers Doc, Lowthers are great speakers, but they are not for everyone. Like anything else, they have a particular sound. If you are a 3-way with a subwooofer type of guy, you may not like them. They have extremely good detail and efficiency levels, but ... | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? In fact, now that I recall, Linn were giving out matchbooks with the Linn logo on them bearing the inscription of "Linn Stylus Cleaner". I saved one for many years, but lost it in the last move. | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? When I worked at a Linn dealer, Ivor Tiefenbrun himself was visiting our store, and used a match striker to clean the stylus. When we questioned him about it, he said it was the best way to clean a stylus, as long as you knew it was a well made on... | |
| Help with NEW MC cartridge putchase Jeff, my recommendation would be to upgrade the VPI-MKIII to the MKIV package. For $800 you get the platter, bearing, and suspension of the TNT, according to the VPI web page. This would be the best improvement in your price range. The next step w... | |
| Time to get things straight. Thanks, Jimbo. I was beginning to get "audiophilia nervosa". FYI, I used to have all that stuff years ago, including the blacklight posters and a strobe light. Inna gadda davida sounded perfect that way. Those were the days! | |
| Help with NEW MC cartridge putchase Jeff, some people can hear the differences and some can't. If you are comparing two very high quality items, there are probably minor differences between them. Virtually every piece of a system has its own sonic signature. But, there are some thin... | |
| TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ I modified a gimballed bulkhead mount for a 2 burner alcohol stove to attach to the turntable. You have to keep the cables routed out of the way, with a little slack to allow the necessary movement. | |
| Time to get things straight. This is probably the most ridiculous thread that I have read since I became a member of the Audiogon. I suppose now we should all grow our hair real long, buy SL1200's, Sansui 200w receivers and Cerwin Vega speakers, and can our Rockports,Tenors, ... | |
| Miracord 50H Turntable Now about those thermionic tubes...:-) | |
| Shoot-out I would like to see - Berning ZH270 vs. I will again mention that the Berning Seigfried is the amp to compare with these others. The ZH270 is a push/pull amp with feedback. The Seigfried is single-ended triode with no feedback. I know it is only 12 watts, but it will drive most reasonab... | |
| What about Bybee Filters? After a couple of days of marathon listening sessions, I have concluded that the Bybees(at least the ones I have) are everything they are advertised to be. This pertains to the Bybee Ultra Quantum Speaker Filters with Nordost SPM Reference tails, ... | |
| Miracord 50H Turntable Sell it to 1953 and buy a Rega. | |
| Help with NEW MC cartridge putchase It is unbelievable that no mention is made by the asker or any of the posters as to what type of turntable and tonearm he has. How can anyone ask for a cartridge recommendation or make a recommendation without knowing this information? Or does eve... |
