Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay
It is “technically” owned by Paypal. As a a practical matter, it is  probably gonna sit in our mech/boiler room for a very long time. Yes, I found another from a seller that lived a couple hours away. I drove over, auditioned it, he had a scope so...

Harold:wow. What a rant. You sound similar to the seller I had to contend with. What do you have to hide?I had examined the photos very closely. There was nothing that stood out as defective in the imagery. Even after the item arrived, it was real...

cd318:https://youtu.be/QN1BrD73lSsback then, the nyc art scene was either decidedly anti capitalist or at least had an ironic relationship to it. Decidedly different from today’s post Koons/Schnabel era.

Raindance, The tubes in both the Dyna and the Futterman would pick up ham radio from the passing taxis like crazy until Jon figured out a way to shield them.

cd318:The Velvets and the Fugs both came out of an underground East Village / Brooklyn scene that was closely tied to the beat poetry of Jack Kerouac and to the lesser known but maybe more important poet Allan Ginsburg. Ginsberg hung out at Max’s ...

Kalili,My speakers are 16 ohm and 101dB efficiency. My Dyna MK III have 4, 8, and 16 taps but the Futtermans do not. When I had the 604Cs rebuilt by Gabriel Sound, I had the option of keeping them at 16 or switching them to 8. Jon Specter, my engi...

Cd318,I did try removing it once to experiment but I still got the feedback. Putting it completely down did the trick. Maybe with the new space this will be a non-issue. BUT...sometimes I think in at least some of those recordings, the engineer is...

Tyray,Actually, the dust cover is usually up. But with about 10% to 15% of my records, beyond a certain volume, say 85 decibels or so, the cartridge picks up feedback hum from the speakers. When the dust cover is down, the problem disappears compl...

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!

cd318,No one has been on the other side of a black hole, unless maybe you are metaphorically referring to some members of this community: who knows how fast whatever can travel there, including and especially bs. That aside, yes, Einstein, among o...
