| All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou I have to keep some recipe secrets between me and my Rabbi! | |
| All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Garrison had them on Prarie Home Companion doing some of the numbers live last weekend. If there were ever two voices that do not harmonize well, these are the ones. It was kind of like eating pork ice cream. | |
| Baby Koetsus? ie, Poor Mans Koetsu The Shelter 501 and the Denon 103 and 103R, depending on your price point and arm would be the logical choices. | |
| My dog ate my homework, um, I mean speakerwire.... I guess it was the wire to the woofer. | |
| ARTICLE -Teens say they prefe vinyl to CDs Huh, I opened a box of mine once, and there was just this rubber bladder thing in there. Strange, you must be paying a lot for packaging with that stuff. Is it fresh, what month is it? None of that old stuff for me. If no one wanted to drink that ... | |
| ARTICLE -Teens say they prefe vinyl to CDs Huh, what color box do those come in? | |

| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Zaikes, I just love your observation. But, if the playback slowdown does not exactly mimic the lathe slowdown, as would be the case here on Earth, then don't you get into constructive and destructive reinforcement of the waveform as pitch is shift... | |
| New Company-Daber Audio Stephen, you are starting an audio manufacturing company and still have a wife. Don't worry, that one will work its way out real soon ;-) | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? There is no reason to believe that micro speed variations in turntables would be inaudible simply for the reason than that they are of a lesser magnitude than those present in the lathe or recorder. After all, we can hear music around 15 to 20 db ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? For that question to be meaningful one would also have to know what the threshold of perception is for this phenomena. Measuring something is often easy. Correlating that measurement to perceived differences is often fraught with difficulty. | |
| New Company-Daber Audio Stephen, welcome aboard and best of luck in your new venture. Although the field is crowded, there is always room for a creative and responsive new company. Just remember that audio manufacturing has the equivilent of the Riddle of the Spinx:Q: Ho... |
