| Suggestions on DVD/CD player with great sound.... Esoteric DV-50S. They sell for about $1200 used. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Perhaps the Linn LP12 analogy wasn't clear enough. A casual examination of the LP12 versus the AR and Thorens' could lead one to say "What's so different about the Linn? It's just a suspended sub-chassis belt-drive table---so are the AR and Thoren... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s Maybe one of the Anti-Cable impedance transformers to get the Thiels impedance high enough? | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Martykl---Johnny Kidd! He did a pretty good version of "Shakin' All Over", the inspiration for the Who's Live At Leeds recording. But if you haven't heard Link Wray, you'll want to. Whereas Johnny had the clean, non-overdriven tube amp guitar soun... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know I'll make an analogy: The Linn LP12 (The Band) rescued the turntable from the completely wrong path it's design was heading in. Yes, the AR table (Sweethearts of the Rodeo?) was already around, as was the Thorens TD-125 (The White Album) and TD-15... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s I just checked my Music Reference RM-200 amp, and it has 8ohm, 4ohm, 2ohm, and 1ohm taps! It's a very stable circuit, and a good sounding amp. And the only tube amp I can think of that would work with the load of the Thiels. Give Roger a call and ... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Why is it always posed as a choice between the two formats? If your audio system is in the service of your music (as it should be, right?), and you have both LP's and CD's, then you obviously can't choose between the two, you need both a record pl... | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you Loomis---Freedy! Great songwriter whom I haven't though of in a while. Gonna listen to him right now, thanks. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know I was going to say that I wouldn't argue with Cream being the first (at least with all members having equal billing), but then I remembered The Who, debuting two years before Cream. Does having a fourth non-instrument playing member disqualify the... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s If you aren't dead set against tubes, a tube power amp can mate well with Thiels. Midrange presence with a slightly forward sound is fairly common in tube amps. The trick will be finding one that doesn't mind the load impedance of the Thiels---tub... | |
| How to store headshell and tonearms safely Do a search over at Vinyl Engine. Somebody (j7 at Origami maybe) is making and selling shipping cartons with foam cutouts for pick-up arms. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know After Cream hit big, we young musician's searched out Jack and Ginger's previous work together in the Graham Bond Organization, a British jazz group in which their playing was not much different than that in Cream. Ginger was already doing an earl... | |
| Your three favorite audio dealerships? I can tell you why, Taters: Brooks left behind a widow, Sheila Berdan---Brian's mother, and she and Brian couldn't come to an economic arrangement for the shop that worked for both of them. Brian left to start Audio Element in Pasadena, taking wit... | |

| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Clapton ended up not liking the role he played in Cream (nor no longer liking the music Cream had created) after being played The Band's Music From Big Pink by George Harrison. Harrison started carrying around a portable record player specifically... |
