| Acid Jazz? Certainly John Zorn considered to be one of the pioneers of asid jazz. The probably most sophisticated album is "Cobra".Jasun Martz and Neoteric orchestra must also impress you.Surf through the works of famous guitar player Fred Frith. | |

| Horns + tube amps: can they handle LOUD like SS? Simple and clear:Transistors have a very small region of linear operation in their output characteristics(Volt-Ampere characteristics)and have to operate at less-than-half of their rated output power.Tubes have 90% of linear region and can be basi... | |
| Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables?? Is it possible to acquire a stand-alone tonearm? I believe that it's possible to exersise on cheap tonearms to build an adjustable stand. In my case with Michell it's quite easy since I have a sand-alone motor and can use the motor hole for such e... | |
| I am pissed I've just double-checked the list of zip codes on usps.gov and it was there! It means that I'm right and purchaser is right as well. Now I guess I'll have to kick it back to the carier and teach them some logistics and literacy arround USA.Fortuna... | |
| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I'm not sure about Kate I've check on Pete and didn't find neither mfsl nor HDCD/SACD/... Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) she's not Britney | |
| Amplifier Fan Are you sure that your amp is getting overheat? I know that for SS amp getting overheat isn't a great idea since paramenters of transistors will significantly change. I don't recall the part number, but if you do a thorough research on www.partsex... | |
| Time to get things straight. ...Can't say anything about SL1200 but the other Technics DJ TT(don't remember the precise model number) with DME3009 S-shaped tonearm even hooked up with Sumiko BP didn't impress me at all. My friend used to be a DJ and now he's getting step-by-s... | |
| Cheap packing material One day come with the car or truck to PC Richard's, Toys'R'Us or any major store and ask for boxes. You're not going to imagine how many you can get of a different sizes.Besides, you can tear some of them to have extra carton for dividing componen... | |
| Turntable/Arm/Cartridge Upgrade I've had exactly your analogue setup and upgraded to Michell Gyro SE. I kept RB300 and later-on modded with Incognito kit and Clearaudio heavy counterweight. There were a few cartridges and Lyra Helikon is current. Before I've acquired Benz M.09 f... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? Don't be so heartbroaken about HDCD. HDCD, SACD, XRCD are the limited production sources and certainly in minority of most audiofiles. Let's say in average on every 100 CDs of the average collection only 10 HDCDs. There is a large gap in possibili... | |
| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I've had yesterday a dedicated listening session for Pete and Kate for about 5 hours. They're so damn great! | |
| What are the benefits of a SET amp? SET abbreviation means Sentimental Every Time. | |
| Any scientific data on cable burn-in? I've been posting on that issue quite a while ago here and shortly saying there is a micro-diode theory of all conductors. It means that there are impurities of semi-conductive nature that reside inside the chrystalic structure with one-way conduc... | |
| What Have I done? Shorted an amp? In my case only output fuse will be blown if such thing take place. I know in Creek amps such event is fatal to an output circuit and even toroidal output transformer(sometimes to be on the safe side the time delay circuitry might be handy)If chan... |
