cd318,Yes. Between his 1st and 2nd LP. He was a scrawny, skinny kid then. And Parsons, that was between his two LPs of course, he was dead a mere 5 months or so later. I sat in the front row at that and most of the other shows, which as you would ...

Well, speaking of Bruce Springsteen, I saw him Upstairs at Max’s Kansas City, right after his first lp was released. I was sitting in the front row. Clarence was dripping sweat all over me. I saw Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris there, van Morrison...

Almarg,stock 604B, C, and D were 16 ohms. They can be modified to 8. When I had them re-coned, I kept them at 16. Jon said the Futterman much prefer the 16. E and up are at 8. I will ask Jon about the output impedance of both taps. I’m sure he mus...

I went to The Cooper Union, I’m always making that mistake. Oops. As for for the rest of your questions, they will have to wait until everything comes back out of their boxes. That said, I have been running the Beard with the Futterman from either...

dill,no moisture. Sorry. Old? The speaker’s serial # puts them at 1954, the year I was born. Now that’s old!

jperry, if the wood stand is on a wood floor, even if on feet, I don’t know if that is simply delaying the inevitable. Maybe the amps get bolted to the brick wall also. My old home was on a busy manhattan intersection. I could feel vibration throu...

The speaker cable was close to the best that Monster - a new company at the time - had to offer in 1985. I’m not sure of the gauge, actually, but it is quite thick. The system is still in boxes.

jperry, thanks for the link but I’m not going to spend $2800 for amp platforms for the same reason I’m not gonna spend a lot of money for cables. My whole system cost cost me no more than $17,000. I prefer to find a way to get 90% of performance o...

Thank you steakster. It seems the preponderance of opinion is to put the amps near the speakers. However, I wonder about the wisdom of placing two Julius Futterman OTL3s converted to triode with eight 6LF6 tubes each on the floor next to Altec 604...

Somebody - was it Prof? - mentioned speaker break in. For what it it is worth, my speakers sound different depending on weather conditions: temp, humidity, air pressure etcand somebody posted a link to The Cable Cooker. At first I thought it was a...

What’s confusing about the experience is that the guy had a 100% rating on over 5000 transactions. He was clearly deceptive and dishonest.
