| Upscale Audio is up front with customers @awise1961 I’m curious: how do you loo changes? | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? I dunno if this would work for me. My tinnitus is caused by cervical stenosis. Rotating my head makes the noise louder or whiter, and changes the pitch. With a little movement coordination, I could write and perform my own music in my neck. | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? @mkaiser Did I say “sound the same as new”? I did not. However, I obviously would not still be using them if I was not getting anything less than outstanding performance from them. The rest of your statement makes no sense to me. | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? The serial numbers on my Altec 604Cs and on my 604Ds are 1956 and 1958 respectively. I have had them for 45 years. I rotate them once a year, and have them serviced every 15 years. The crossovers are Mastering Lab. The caps have been replaced. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete My theory in all this, and someone please correct me if I’m off, is that remastered issues from “original master tapes” suffer because tapes are magnetic, and after sitting on a shelf for 3, 4, or more decades, the original masters hav... | |
| George Kaye @kokomo i can’t respond to you offline because it’s asking for a “verified payment method” which I won’t give audiogon. The fewer vendors that have my financial info, the less likely I am to be hacked. I vaguely remember the fumes from the Ind... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete - The Crosby track is good because it has that great Bill Weir bass to test the bottom, Jerry Garcia’s pedal steel for the high end, Steven Stills and Joni Mitchell and Graham Nash and Paul Kantner in the chorus to test separation, and... | |
| George Kaye @bdp24 I never owned, nor heard, a Decca cartridge. I am a Koetsu guy, with a Rosewood Signature, an Onyx, and a Leopard in the stable. I am sure that I am doing just fine with them, but I do sometimes wonder how they compare to the Decca, or ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? "Laughing" from "If I Could Only Remember My Name" by David Crosby. | |
| George Kaye @bdp24 On pages 258-261 of his book "The Search for Musical Ecstasy", Harvey ’Gizmo’ Rosenberg describes hearing the NYAL Futterman OTL1 combined with the Altec "Big Red" for the first time: "If you ever had any doubt about how bad Altec stud... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Agharta - Miles Davis - considered the best live jazz fusion lp ever Devotion - John McLaughlin - his first solo lp We Insist! : Freedom Now Suite - Max Roach (No record label would release this: Max had to create his own record label and releas... | |
| George Kaye @scotandholly Jon Specter, hopefully, learned everything he needed to learn from George, at least with regard to the Futtermans. He’s coaching a guy in Oklahoma who is building a couple Futtermans. Jon worked under George for almost a decade, so... | |
| George Kaye @frogman I drive a pair of 16 ohm Altec 604Cs. The Futtermans are better at 16 than at 8, and they hate 4. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |
| George Kaye @frogman I bought my pair of NYAL Futtermans from Dave Wasserman’s Stereo Exchange in 1985. at first, when something went wrong with them, I took them to Dahong Seetoo, but Dahong soon went on to bigger and better things, eventually winning 5 G... |
