| Inner wax writings Funny you should ask, we had an informal meeting of the Portland Audiofoos club last night and I had loaned my UHQR of "Crime" to one of the members, as well as the UHQR "I Robot". Since we had them there, we put on "School" and cranked it. Everyo... | |
| Inner wax writings IMHO, some Japanese pressings are sought after, not for their mastering quality, but for their pressing quality. When we started using recycled vinyl, chopping up records to make yet more records, the Japanese were still producing a premium produc... | |
| Inner wax writings I can't really talk about my reputation with the court case still pending, but I can say that I was not in Chicago that night and the baby doesn't look a thing like me. You will find lots of stuff in the dead wax and a good part of it is dictated ... | |

| It's been said before, but I'll say it again... Not another complaint about the lack of courtesy and decorum evinced by Audiogon respondants.

| Conrad Johnson PV11...Extreme sibilance, harsh sou What is the input impedance of your power amp and how long are your home-brew interconnects? | |
| step up for mc I agree with Arthur, practically speaking, when the loads are properly matched, transformers have better flow and natural presentation, though analog maven Raul would come down on the active stage side, so things are not that easy. Philosophically... | |
| Klipsch KG4 v. Vandersteen 2ce NOT Sig If you value the natural dynamics of music and play your sounds at a brisk level in a large room with moderate amplifier power, the Vandys are woefully inadequite. They have the K's beat on imaging, toneality and bass extension, but will sound com... | |

| '90's gear I have three turntables, one from the '60s, one from the 70's and one from the 80's. You're into the new stuff, as far as I am concerned. Hell, even my favorite Denon 103D cartridge is from the '70s and my others, Shure V15lll, ADC XLM mk2 Imp., G... |
