When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
Oh, and add The Who to Jimi and Janis---they were pretty flash at Woodstock.

Wow Tom, may I cry uncle?! You are obviously in possession of more knowledge about Jimi than I. I wasn't aware that Jimi was playing with Hammond, but John sure had good taste in guitarists, didn't he? He had engaged both Robbie Robertson (of The ... 
Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)?
wolf, where do you recommend going for the Mullard 12AT7's? 
Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system?
donzi---What everyone is getting at here is that your Bryston amp and Thiel speakers are so good that they will make very audible the sound quality of the pre-amp you use. The problem is, it's going to be tough to find an active pre for $500 that ...

Great seller, great story! 
Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems...
I would take the table and the LP into the store, play the album on your table and the store's "cheap system" for a comparison, and ask the staff to look for the problem (part of the price you paid for the table is for service). I'm assuming the s...

tomcy6---I'm aware of all you said. But, Jimi went over to England as an unknown, where he was heard by Chas Chandler (bassist in The Animals), who signed him to a management deal. A British band was put together (drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassis... 
Interesting thought- Linn &
"getting the intent of what the musicians are trying to convey is just as, if not more, important than getting all the notes correct". This line of reasoning and evaluation can also be traced back to Linn, and is just SO subjective. Art Dudley in ...

Don't the Soundlabs ask a great deal of the amp hooked up to them? I've heard them sounding pretty good (in ESL terms, which means great in general speaker terms), but also with what sounded like amp clipping. And that was at CES, where you would ... 
Zerostat near cartridge?
And the Furtech is on sale right now at one of the online retailers whose emails I receive. Music Direct? The Cable Company? Audio Advisor? I already deleted the email or I would look for it. 
Interesting thought- Linn &
The irony, zavato, is that Linn instigated and promoted the notion of "Linn vs the rest of the world" with their argument that all other turntables (pre-Linn) had been designed and built with a deeply mistaken assumption---that a turntable is an e... 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
I have no doubt that Rap is viewed in certain circles as merely the current phase in the continuing downward spiral of Western Civilization, the dumbing down of humanity. Rock n' Roll was certainly viewed thusly in the mid-50's by the WWII generat... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
And don't overlook Love And Theft, the follow-up to Time Out of Mind. It too is a good one. Produced by Jack Frost (aka Bob himself). 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
I couldn't agree with you more taters. I myself am one who finds Rap not merely unlistenable, but unbearable. When heard, I do everything in my power to get as far away from the sound source as possible. I not only can't answer why it has stayed p...

Amen, brother! The designers of box speakers have to go to extremely great lengths to get overcome the failings inherent in dynamic drivers, the necessity to break up the audible spectrum amongst different sized ones, and the cross-over required t...
