| Next Phonostage Yep, lower Manhattan is a mess right now. We are north of the city 25 miles or so, along the Hudson, and the river towns were just devastated. Just getting in and out of the city is a nightmare, and I know that the utility companies have been work... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Dayglow- fair enough. The only song from the Trampps that hit my radar was the Inferno song. As to Bros Johnson, Strawberry Letter really does it for me. | |
| Next Phonostage Thaluza- on the question of tube rush/noise, i can hear everything over my Avantgarde Duos at 104db efficiency, funky AC, grounding issues, and neither the Steelhead nor the Allnic gave me a problem with noise, tube, grounding or otherwise. A pret... | |
| Next Phonostage A couple other thoughts, which I should have included in my earlier posts on the subject:the Steelhead is dramatically affected by the tubes used; if the loaner is the one that you thought sounded noisy, that raises additional issues about the tub... | |
| Next Phonostage PHil i think there are a few ARC dealers in Houston-Dallas as well.... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Car reviewers and hi-fi reviewers are in some ways similar. One of my neighbors is a well-known car reviewer. He's always got something new and flashy in the driveway for review, but his personal cars are odd and quirky-Morris Minor pickup truck, ... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Modern cars and high end hi-fi, all pretty much depreciating assets. Very few are worth more money 5-10 years out. I still like hi-fi and cars. I've done my run of expensive modern sports cars, more interested in older cars at this point. As to wa... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Little switch to the soul/disco side:first, Disco Inferno by the Trampps- I think the lead singer went to prison for a while after he pistol whipped his girlfriend on Valentine's Day;and...Shuggie Otis, covered by the Bros Johnson:Strawberry Lette... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? You know, reading and being reminded of some of these songs, I'm not sure why we are nostaglic. :) | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Thanks Marty, and you are right, it is a great song. | |
| Next Phonostage Wmr57- I always enjoy your posts here.Lotus- i think we have corresponded here or elsewhere on other gear.To the OP- good hunting, there are lot's of good phono stages at the higher end of the scale, but I agree that you should try to audition som... | |
| Next Phonostage I had a Steelhead (2.0 version, but without remote) that I bought new, and used for a number of years. I rolled tubes, and settled on NOS Teles, and NOS Raytheons for 7044 slots. I ran it through the MM, not the step-ups, with both a Titan i and a... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Ozz, Inna Gadda Da Vidi was 60's. I saw Iron Butterfly when the song was a hit.Stuck in the Middle with You was really Gerry Rafferty, he had a string of hits.What was the hit by 'Spiral Starecase'?(Pretty sure that was 70's but maybe it was 60's ... | |
| New level of ridiculousness Which power strip are you referring to Maril? | |
| Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s In view of the advice that the factory does this, I would probably go that route, and not try to have it done locally, if you can give up the arm for a little while. |
