| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Very cool. Rather than being a "tour of his guitar collection", it is more an examination of musical playing styles, with a handful of his guitars used to demonstrate them on, and an explanation of what makes one guitar preferable or more suitable... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Was he weaving a magic carpet? | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system sbank's suggestion has merit. Guitar Center sells the 3’ Mogami Gold Studio balanced cable (with Neutrik XLR’s) for $39.95, the 6’ for a few bucks more. Recording studios use them for their mics. If you don’t like it, take it back. No audiophile b... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Lay it on us Bill! | |
| How many LP's 100 LP's? Why bother? With the cost (and inconvenience) of a good turntable/arm/cartridge player, and the cost of new LP's and a (at least) vacuum cleaner, to go to all that trouble for only one hundred LP's seems out of proportion. IMO.Organizing... | |
| Lesser known 2 way bookshelf Speakers from the 80's From the 1970's, the Fulton Model 80. | |
| Magnepans and Rock Everyone has their own idea of what reproduced music should sound like, depending on their reference. It seems to me that since live Rock music is always heard through a sound reinforcement system (a "P.A."), a listener of primarily that music mig... | |
| How many LP's I hear ya Mitch! Reaching a certain age is sobering in a number of ways, the time remaining for listening to music being a major one. So, in preparing for the last relocation of my life, I went through my LPs, of which there were somewhere around ... | |
| Cable manufacturers? Cardas either makes his, or has it made for him. Lots of other companies buy their wire from him, including Audio Advisor/Pangea. | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? Excellent David! I have a mix of the original Level 1 (same as the new Level 2, but with the cups made of Alcoa 6061 instead of the harder, superior 7075 of the Level 2, and the cup's bowl surface polished to a smoother texture with finer grit) an... | |
| Worst record ever? Ry Cooder is very serious about the sound of his guitars and amps (and creates incredible tone), so when he heard about this new-fangled recording system---digital, he was eager to try it. Bop 'Til You Drop was the first digitally recorded Pop (no... | |
| Most aesthetic classic turntable The Linn Sondek, for it's understated class. | |
| Magnepan upgrade Do you know about the Eminent Technology LFT-8b? Some listeners prefer it to both the 1.7i and 3.7i. It, like the Maggies, is a magnetic-planar (from 180Hz to 10k), with a ribbon tweeter and dynamic woofer. $2499, a few hundred for the almost-mand... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Not to be disrespectful to ET owners (and I consider Bruce Thigpen the most interesting living h-fi designer), what are ya'lls opinion of the Trans-Fi Audio Terminator in comparison? Just curious. | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC Speaking of cone tips and hardness, I got a set of the original Mod Squad Tiptoes when they were introduced in the 1980's, and installed them under my 140 lbs. apiece loudspeakers, with steel discs under them to protect my hardwood floors. It didn... |
