| Whats on your turntable tonight? I am very pleased with the results I am getting from this temporary Denon cart! it is quite musical. It allows me to hear just how good the new turntable is. After only a few LP's, I can say that it is blacker, quieter and has really dropped the n... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bach - "Suites For Unaccompanied Cello Complete" Janos Starker (Mercury SR3-9016) This reissue has got to be one of the finest available. If you don't have it, get it. It is truly remarkable. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Robm321,Every time I listen to his recordings, I keep wondering how he gets so much going on with only two hands. Those Takoma recordings are done so well, you can hear fingers on the fretboard, Leo shifting in his chair, just great! And the bonus... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'm baaaack!Thanks to fellow 'GoNer Rushton, we were able to get a temporary fix on my Scoutmaster (Denon cart.) in order to start spinning vinyl again. My retailer is working with me to remedy what turns out to be a new Dynavector 17D delivered w... | |
| Remembering Jerry I am listening to various versions of "Dark Star" in his honor today. Thanks FP for posting a reminder.... | |
| What do guys think of the Hyperion HPS-938? Myself and two other 'Goners (Trelja and Mechans) heard these speakers in NY and were VERY impressed.We returned 3 times to make sure our ears were not playing tricks on us. At 4000 MSRP, these represent an incredible bargain. We are thinking abou... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I think you missed my point: my guess is that you will have a longer wait than 2 months. Mick builds the Chenins in the order that they come in. If you just ordered yours, it isn't going to get built before those of us who ordered earlier. I order... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Longho68,2 month wait?! I've been waiting almost 5 months so far. Hope your sell-off of other equip. has not left you "musicless" while you wait.Mick is doing his best to get these things out to people, but I think we should be realistic and patie... | |
| Acoustician in Phila/Delaw/S. NewJersey I second what Rives said. Of course, I must qualify that with the statement that Rives Audio did my room and they did a wonderful job. It has been the most cost effective upgrade I have ever done.I am located in the Philadelphia/NJ area, and if yo... | |
| Slipknot1 & friends in New York & Stereophile Thanks Joe. Don't know how I missed it before. As I said in the letter, Art Dudley is very much a gentleman as well as a breath of fresh air in his writing style at the magazine. Talking with him at the show was very much a highlight for me as well. | |
| Speaker connection for Maggie 3.6R I agree that bare wires are best for the existing posts on the 3.6R. But, if you don't want to remove connectors on an expensive pair of cables (reducing their resale value) or pay to have them reterminated, the 25.00 Magnepan charges for a pair o... | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? What a great story!My own is not quite as good, but here goes (I think I've told this one in these forums before): When I was very young, my dad would listen to jazz after we kids went to bed. I remember hearing the great masters playing softly co... |
