| Monostrapped Atma-sphere M-60 @pstores, perhaps I’m not understanding something, but Atma-Sphere M-60’s are mono amps. How can they be "monostrapped"? | |
| Lifelong Neil? Both Neil Young and (the very-out-of-place) Neil Diamond were in The Last Waltz. Young for his Canadian connection with The Band, Diamond supposedly to represent Brill Building-era songwriting. In actuality it was because at the time of the films'... | |
| Movies employing music in a great way. Great nominees, fellas! Another favorite of mine is American Graffiti, which perfectly depicts the era immediately before the arrival of the British Invasion, which changed everything. The band playing at the Jr. Prom is exactly what the Frat Band... | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations The original Decca cartridge was mono (L + R), and when stereo came in the cartridge was modified to create the "difference" (L - R) stereo signal. The cartridge (now marketed as London) used the same cantilever-less design in both stereo and mono... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @reubent, music as good as David Balls’ "Thinkin’ Problem" is what I hope to hear every time I listen to a new supposedly-Country artist. Guys like him don’t show up very often.@gosta, Rodney Crowell has made a number of great albums in addition t... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Another superior musical sub that provides high-level hookup are the Rythmiks containing the PEQ-series plate amp. The XLR-series amps do not, they are line-level only. Most Rythmik models are available with either plate amp. | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations "cantilever moves only laterally". The cantilever in a mono cartridge is just as free to move vertically as is one in a stereo cartridge (how could it not be?), it's just that that movement produces no electrical signal. At least, that is my under... | |
| Kudos to Dan Wright of Modwright This is what "High End" is all about! What a pleasure to be able to deal directly with the designer and builder of your hi-fi equipment. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect @wcfeil---Ha! Yeah, imagine 8 or 10 feet of such precious wire. I'll take a pair of Shotgun, doubled for twice the goodness. | |
| Tone arm counter weight @audiosens, I put a black Groovetracer on my RB300. It looked like it came with the arm! I bought my counterweight before the end stub was available. The counterweight in no way interferes with or disables the arms spring-loaded VTF adjuster. I so... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @mitchagain, great stuff! The 1st and 2nd Graham Parker albums feature the playing of a couple members of Brinsley Schwartz (the band), including Brinsley himself. Speaking of that band, Nick Lowe, himself a member, said they were trying to sound ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Seeing the Angel Iris Dement receive the recognition she SO deserves gladdens my heart. Another well-kept secret is a singer of a very different sort---Lou Ann Barton. She has a few albums spread out over many years, but Old Enough, produced by Gl... | |
| Tune of the Day "Reconsider Baby" by Lowell Fulson. Listen to it to hear where Jimmie Vaughan got his style, and to hear the kind of laid-back deep-groove that very, very few white Blues bands are able to produce. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. "Musicality" is one of those oh-so-subjective terms with no agreed-upon meaning. But the same can be said about the incomplete sentence by khiak above ;-) . The "can" implies it is a question, but the "changes" negates that. Should the sentence re... | |
