| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble jnorris, since as you say B & N's LP stock is of more mainstream music than that of a "real" record store, and mainstream music is more likely to have a digital ingredient than does underground music (as we use to call it), you may be right. Y... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Follow-up on Buddy & Julie Miller:I hadn't listened to their Written In Chalk album (their 2nd, from 2009) in a while, but did last night. Wow, it may be even better than their 1st! Great, great songs (most written by Julie), fantastic product... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Actually, slaw, the Buddy & Julie album is on CD, and afaik it was never available on LP. Their 2nd album, Written In Chalk, however, is. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! prof, you’ve discovered and proven the "secret" of mass-on-springs isolation: you want the weight of the mass on the springs to be as close to the spring’s capacity as possible, without going over it. Townshend offers the Pods in different models ... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? zipost, four Atma-Sphere M60’s would be fantastic with your horn speakers! But to bi-amp, you’ll need an outboard active line-level electronic crossover to replace the passive speaker-level one included with the speakers. The First Watt B4 is a fi... | |
| TX audio stores in Austin or San Antonio? Whart, you left out The Cornell Hurd Band! Hurd's a great songwriter (Junior Brown has recorded a song of Cornell's) and bandleader, and always has great players on stage with him when he appears in Austin (he lives in Dripping Springs, just outsi... | |
| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble jnorris, I long ago decided to not buy any new LP that was made from a digital source. What's the point, right? Any LP that Barnes & Noble is selling is no different from the same title sold by any other retailer, assuming it's on the same lab... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great stuff as always, slaw. Listening to Buddy & Julie Miller’s 2001 album (on the greatly-missed HighTone Records label, catalog number 8135) tonight, I am once again reminded of how incredibly talented they are, and how much I love them. Gr... | |
| Where can I get my Tri-Planar burn in cable cooker What oldtime audiophiles used to do is attach alligator clips to the cartridge tags of an arm's wiring, being fed from the output of a tuner. Leave the tuner on for awhile, it's 1-2 volt output burning in the arm's wiring much more rapidly than do... | |
| DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub Whart is 100% correct (as was I ;-). You can run two subs off the 8033, but both may receive only the same A + B (summed mono) signal, not separate left or right (stereo) ones. At $500, go for the 2.0 Dual Core. | |
| TX audio stores in Austin or San Antonio? I would go to Rythmik Audio in Austin and listen to their great subs. | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? If there are mono amps of which you can afford four, you can bi-amp with mono blocks. But not all speakers benefit from bi-amping, which has more to do with the speaker's crossover than the amps. And not all speakers CAN be bi-amped. Many bi-amper... | |
| DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub For stereo subs, the Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core is necessary. There are a number of them available used right now for around $500. | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? What does "bi-amps" mean? Are the speakers bi-ampable? If so, you can do so with either two stereo power amps or four mono blocks. Mono amps and bi-amping are not necessarily mutually exclusive. | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection jafant, the current Mojo Magazine has extensive coverage of the trinity albums, lots of great info. |
