| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? Plus, the effective mass of an arm varies depending on how far from the bearings is the counterweight. Some arms incorporate a counterweight that affords adjustable mass, the Zeta being one such.In addition, while the arm and cartridge interaction... | |

| AR SP8 mk2 high output volume I used to have an Audible Illusions Modulus 2 pre-amp, the line stage of which provides 30dB of gain! Did Art Ferris ever update his design? | |
| Richard & Linda Thompson - Hard Times - 2020 Box Set Thanks for the heads up. Who says the CD is dead?! I already have all their LP's and CD's, so I'll have to take a close look to see if I "need" this boxset.Richard and Linda were a major source of great music in the 1970's and early 80's, and Rich... | |
| Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By The River IS AMAZING! As @chayro alluded to, the album was originally issued on Water Lily Records, master recording engineer Kavi Alexander's label. That pressing of the LP also sounds amazing. | |
| Theta Data Basic cd transport help @master838, my Theta Data Basic developed similar behavior (I think it’s a failing common to the model), and I traced the cause not to the gear, but rather to the rubber belt that turned the gear. I found a replacement belt on ebay for a coupla bu... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ya know @noromance, maybe it's time to try again. I know the genetic breeding has gotten really sophisticated. Related story: In 2006 my girlfriend was working in a dispensary, and one of the shop's growers also serviced private customers. One of ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance, can’t do weed, makes me paranoid (ever since a dose of bad acid). Alcohol dulls the pain a little, but not much. In my 20’s and 30’s codeine worked somewhat, but now makes me sick to my stomach. But these all treat the pain, not addres... | |
| Townes Van Zandt Steve Earle has proclaimed Townes the best songwriter in the world, and said he would do so standing on Bob Dylan's coffee table. Steve released an entire album of Towne's songs back in 2009. | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw, "Love Hurts" is one of my very favorite songs, written by Boudleaux Bryant (unusually, without his songwriting partner/wife Felice). Be sure to hear the original version by The Everly Brothers, upon which Gram and Emmylou modeled theirs. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance, get yourself a Zeta arm! There is something about it (not just effective mass) that makes it about the best mate for Deccas and Londons.@slaw, I've been dealing with the increasing frequency of my lifelong "cluster" headaches. Consider... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yeah, I’ve included the 1st Moby Grape album on a few lists, including Best Debut Albums and Perfect Albums. The album is particularly remarkable not just for the songwriting, but also the interplay of the three guitarists and singers, not unlike ... | |
| Peter Green By the way, Peter's first solo album after leaving FM---entitled The End Of The Game---was liked by some musicians I at the time knew, but was not to my taste. I haven't heard it since.At that same time, the new Fleetwood Mac put out an album I lo... | |
| Peter Green B.B. King said Peter was the only white guitarist who made him sweat. I guess that was a compliment. ;-) I heard Peter's playing first on the second John Mayall album, A Hard Road. I liked him even more than Clapton, who had been the guitarist on ... | |
| Wilson Audio isolation footers Wilson's "V-Material" (the element of the Pedestal that does the isolating) is a rubber compound of some sort. It's ability to provide isolation is limited by that fact, as are Sorbothane, Navcom, EAR Isotech, and all other rubber compounds. Rubbe... |
