| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hard to believe Pat has been gone four months as of today.I don't intend to speak for Barb, but I do know its been real difficult for her and Amanda. We had a nice talk a few weeks ago and slowly but surely, things are getting better for both of t... | |
| Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges... Ctm and Speedy, I have to second the Brinkmann LaGrange TT. Amazing unit. Besides being a work of art to look at, the details brought forth from those micro grooves in my LP's just make me and my friends shake our heads and smile. From the bass to... | |

| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Nate, you certianly do not need to thank me, it was an honor to help Barb Sunday and I will always be available in the future. Sunday's event in Pat's memory was very nice. Barb had her lovely mother and sisters visiting. There was a steady stream... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Greetings everyone, have not seen this thread for awhile. Looks like things have mellowed somewhat...Sirspeedy, your findings mirror mine exactly with the phono tubes. While I still have not tried the Tele CCa's, the E88CC Teles were very detailed... | |
| Best CDs for vocals? Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop". A great recording. Fun too. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tom, glad to see you are enjoying your Cortese. David, if you want a new Grange, I will sell you my new one with the Mundorf caps in Piano black/chrome.Regards, Steve | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Downunder...I am so glad you like what you are hearing. It will smooth out somewhat with more hours. A bigger change will happen when you change the 6922 tubes. I have tried many tubes but not the Tele CCa's yet. I will take Brian's advice and try... | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm Boy, I wish I could get that last three minutes of my life back that it took to read speedy's rambling last post. I just thought there would be something coming that would make sense. Speedy, try as you might to defend your's and Raul's style, the... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Set at 100 ohms to start. You may prefer 47 but don't worry too much much about changing from the 100 ohm setting until you get around 50 hours onm the cart. | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan I have just hired Nate (NRCHY) as my manager/spokesman. He may speak for me anytime. Right now he is doing my taxes and laundry so I will file these antidotes to the venom flying around this thread myself. What do you call a doublebass (DB) player... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Downunder, the Steelhead is MUCH quieter, slightly more dynamic,has more body to the notes and grabs the bass notes by the shorthairs and does not let go, compared to the Rhea anyway. And, except for the noise, I liked the Rhea a lot. The Steelhea... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Downunder, I also had noticable tube rush in my system with the Rhea. Very dynamic though. At medium volume, no tube rush at all in the phono stage with the Steelhead. At full volume there is only a slight amount of tube rush in the phono side and... | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan Doublebass, I am glad you are happy with your Grado, but I can't understand how anyone could hang the blame for the poor sound in the Teres/Parasound/Forgettable Speaker room on the cartridge. (I think the speakers should been taken out and kneeca... | |
| Any tips for DCM TimeFrame speakers? I still have the pair TF6's I bought new in 1991. A very nice speaker but they take as much or more work as any speaker I have ever owned to set up. There is a right and left and that is important. They need to be out from the back wall 3 to 4 fee... |
