| What am I going to do with all of this junk? I finally broke down and put some of it up for sale on Audiogon today. There is hope. | |
| Any Michael Franks Fans ? Asip, I'm right with you on the Frishberg. Try "The Dave Frishberg Songbook" volumes 1 and 2, LPs on the Omni Sound label. These are in the top ten for recorded quality of the several thousand LPs that I own. I would suggest that Frishberg's mix o... | |
| Record clamps The Clearaudio Clever Clamp is really minimalist and works well, though is somewhat inelegant. | |
| Any Michael Franks Fans ? To answer the question "The Art of Tea" has a really nice analog sounding mix that some of the digitally mastered jobs don't seem to have. As already mentioned "Tiger in the Rain" is a nice sounding recording also. For an introduction to Mose try ... | |
| Any Michael Franks Fans ? I enjoy Franks, his biggest influence is clearly Mose Allison.....and I love Mose! | |
| Do all 6550 based tube amps sound the same? Yes, you guys are right. I pulled it because it was meant as a jibe at the "objectivists"(all amps sound the same school), there's a misnomer for you, and, after rereading it, I was concerned that it would be interpreted as sarcasm directe... | |
| Rattle from Ceramic art pieces Blue Tak can leave a residue on certain ceramics. Try a wax based product available at your local antique mall called "Quake Hold". | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Tom, I should've just contacted you directly. As usual, you are a font of knowledge and I really appreciate your input. I think I will be looking to replace my 103D soon. It is actually a line contact stylus, I believe. I don't share your apprecia... | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Carl, is that the one with the conical stylus, or the elliptical stylus? Thanks for the info.Marty | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Great to hear from one of the good guys. You are clearly a credit to your profession. | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Ohnwy61, I still find your way of looking at things very consonant with that of most dealers and your symplistic analogy reflects this. Though they too would look at it your way, a car is not one component to be added to an existing system. Do you... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? The question used the word "recommend", not "sell", a subtle distinction perhaps. In my experience most dealers do sell products, few recommend them. The phrasing of your question alone indicates the degree to which you have been conditioned by th... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? The same conflict of interest problems as a tip from your broker; the high end dealers just havn't ended up on the front page yet. And since they are so impotent at getting the word out about the hobby, they probably never will. | |
| What amp do you use to drive original Quad ESL's Bedini 25/25, Levinson ML-2, Futterman OTL, Pioneer Series 20, Rappaport Amp 1, Berning EA-230, MacIntosh MC-225, all my favorites and temporally correct. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Bob, measureing dynamic range at home is fraught with difficulties. One tends to end up measuring signal to noise ratio even when using a scope. An interesting working of the maths can be found at http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/ia... |
