| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday Andy knew his audio and was a very bright man. I always enjoyed talking with him--although if we talked long enough he could usually convince me to spend more and get better. I was sorry to see his downtown store close but I did manage to purchase... | |
| Advice needed on upgrading tonearm for VPI SCOUTMASTER I preferred the standard wire sound to the reference wire which is Nordost. Don't assume that the reference wire is better just because it costs more. It is a different flavor. Do you have the metal arm or 3D printed? The 3D is a pretty big upgra... | |
| RIP Paul Messenger R.I.P. | |
| Are You a Swifty? OK. I'm 68 years old and had no opinion about Taylor (other than a feeling that too many teenage girls were fans and how good could that be?). I bought Ryan Adams album "1989" which was his version of her album of the same name. I thought it was e... | |

| Robert Plant larsman-- agreed on the Page and Plant tour (I saw only 1). Saw Zep live at the Garden in July of 73 and other than being in awe of the Plant and Page charisma, the show was a minor disappointment-- it was only good, not great . Sloppy for sure. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Get Yer Ya-Yas Out (first pressing London) Higher Chris Stapleton (Mercury Nashville-great sounding well pressed vinyl) | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? Happened to me where the new version of a high end cable was not as well rounded and musical as the prior much less expensive version. | |
| Is there a way to switch one set of speakers between two sound systems? How about 2 sets of speaker cables from 2 separate amps-- one banana, one spades that are connected simultaneously to the same set of speakers. If one amp is engaged in the on position and the other is off, I'll leave it to the electrical experts... | |
| Another Fedex problem... Such bad luck with fedex delivery of audio gear between losing and damaging equipment without honoring the insurance which I paid for. Had to switch to UPS. |
