| Test Record Options Thanks Viridian - Funny, though. I live relatively close to four different Goodwills and one Salvation Army which I check often for vinyl. Have never seen one of the copies to which you refer at any of these store. Will keep my eye more closely pe... | |
| High performance electric outlets Looks like the ivory hospital grade 20-amp duplex from Woodhead (85362DWI) is about $20 accoridng to the site and downloadable price list. | |
| High performance electric outlets Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a related question. If you have a circuit that feeds three separate outlets, you "hospital" upgrade one of the outlets, and don't use the other two at all, is that basically the same as having a dedicat... | |
| Jeff Beck Blow by Blow In total agreement with Twl with respect to the Japanese LP of "Blow By Blow". I have heard the SACD and regular CD version, which suck in comparison to even the original, standard LP. I, too, have the SQ Quad LP, among many others from my Quad ad... | |
| Best Bolero Thanks for your reply, Richard. I have an old, and now very worn, Columbia Masterworks MC7673 copy by the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy. The LP has very good sonics and it is a powerfull performance. However, since my copy re... | |
| state songs -- our suggestions? As a resident of California, may I suggest "Money" as its theme? :-) | |
| CD re-issue: "Basic Library" Fortunately for me, when I married my wife, she came along with some very good additions to my rather large LP collection - one of which was as sealed copy of "Circle". Like Scott, I had nearly worn out my copy and now that I am back in to analogu... | |
| Anyone tried the Audio Magic Stealth ? I've had a Stealth (the six-duplex variety) in my system for two days after Jerry burned it in for four days before shipping. I have a SS amp and tubed pre and felt I was missing fully extended bass and "slam". No more. If there continues to be im... | |
| Marking Items Sold A suggestion when buying is to print a copy of the listing - at least record the item number. Then, as I have had happen in one instance, if the condition does not match the description, you have some recourse of proof when the seller immediately ... | |
| Okay, now I think I've seen it all... Hee, Hee. They're getting closer to my idea of having motorized, omnidirectional, remote control casters as feet on speakers platforms for those heavy and unwieldly tower speakers. Then, a person could ease back into the listening chair and positi... | |
| What percent of your system cost is for cables? I should never have read this thread. After itemizing, and seeing that I have $6K tied up in PC/Cond., Speaker, and IC cables alone, I shuddered. This is more than I spent on entire sytems in the "good old days". YIKES! | |
| What would you upgrade next? Lthkeepr makes a very strong and valid point. Treatments are as good as, or better, than many upgrades. Also, agree with upgrading the Monster. Might I suggest an Audio Magic Stealth - money well spent, IMHO. | |
| Wow I listened to my old AR ES1 last night I really can't say enough about how good the Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm sounds with the right cartridge. There is one up right now on the 'Gon (no I don't know the seller). In the neighborhood of the asking price and the rest on a cartridge to ... | |
| How many here heard the "Wall of Sound" Dead 70's Airtaxi, I see where John Curl was a consultant on this system. I was in an audio shop in Berkeley about a month ago and this unassuming, but very friendly guy is in the store and we begin to chat. He obviously knows a GREAT DEAL about the amp I h... | |
| How many here heard the "Wall of Sound" Dead 70's Like, wow man, that IS a wall of sound! |
