| Spindle Holes I've had quite a few new LPs with spindle holes that were a very tight fit and would bind on my VPI HW-17 RCM. The $12 answer was in my shop, a T handle reamer. You can pick one up on Amazon, see the link below. In almost ever case I think it was... | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? Hey Tom-Welcome to the area.My highest recommendations go to Deja Vu Audio in McLean, which should be about a 20 minute drive for you. Vu is an really good guy, a super knowledgeable and engaging owner with a great set of ears. You'll be glad you ... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Now you've gone and done it Alpha_gt. You have set the bar so high that you may hold a record that may never be broken. It will be no easy feat for anyone to ever be able to get their tongues so far into their cheeks. Nice post. Gotta love the tru... | |
| Naked Classic Platter Prior to this past winter I did not use a mat, but found the amount of static electricity generated this winter to be more than I cared to deal with. I bought a Music Hall cork mat and immediately experienced a world of difference. While not compl... | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? Mine is a VPI Sound, a custom hybrid of the Classic 2 and Classic 3. Although it shipped with the anti-skating device it has never been installed. I also use the tonearm cable to achieve what I think is a proper amount of anti-skate. | |
| Classic rock: best remasters The Audio Fidelity (AFZLP 112) vinyl remaster of Ten Year's After's A Space in Time is simply stunning. Looks to be sold out everywhere, but I cannot recommend more highly that you try to find a copy. | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear I want to love silver interconnects. I really do. In my system every pair of silver interconnects I auditioned provided an astounding degree of precision, speed and detail when compared to copper cables. I loved it, I loved hearing details in reco... | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Holy cow is right. And, if you are listening to Midnight Blue on a vinyl rig and really want to be blown away, get a copy Music Matter's newer 33-1/3rpm release of the title. Simply put...it's incredible. It's one of my current reference LPs when ... | |
| Recommendations on Christmas Music?? Oops.In my posting I wrote "musically secular". I meant "musically non-secular". | |
| Recommendations on Christmas Music?? Ever since I found it in a bargain bin in 1976, hands-down it's Ellington's Nutcracker Suite. It is loved by all and never gets old, dated or out of place. Seasonal, musically secular and such a treat.If you can find an original Columbia pressing ... | |
| New Springsteen Box: Opinions? I got the LP box last week and have listened to the first four albums and the first LP from The River (once each). At work right now and cannot write in detail, but I can say that while not all are over-the-top perfect, there are many significant ... | |
| So long, Paul Revere and Mike Auldrige Mike Auldridge passed in December of 2012.More than a few happy nights seeing the Seldom Scene at the Birchmere and way back at the long gone Red Fox in Bethesda. Anybody who does not care for bluegrass should check out "Live at the Cellar Door". ... | |
| Cary cad120s running 4 ohm speakers? Brf-In my experience, I can wholeheartedly agree with you up to a point. I auditioned five amps, none of which could drive them well enough. I almost gave up on them before I settled in with the Cary, although bottom end was still a little bit loo... | |
| Cary cad120s running 4 ohm speakers? Agree with Polk432, you should not have any problems. For two years I ran my Totem Mani-2's with a Cary CAD-120S Mkii, and they are significantly less efficient the the Elements. If your pre is not of a significantly higher gain like Polk's you mi... | |
| Broken Bells- Columbia or Music on Vinyl? I cannot speak of the merits of the MOV pressing, but I was nothing but disappointed in the Columbia pressing. My copy sounded flat, muddy and lifeless. The CD, which while ultra bass heavy, plays with much more detail and spark. I felt there was ... |
