| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? Pimentel Grand Concert; Fender Elite Strat, Vibroverb amp. | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot Blues is not definable in terms of its content, any more than a symphony, folk song or opera can be. It is a collection of musical forms using a particular scale. | |
| Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot Blues are based on a "simpler" 5-note scale that is not the same as the 12-note scale on which most classical and popular western music is based (of course, much popular music, e.g. rock, is based on the blues scale). But, with the blues, notes ar... | |
| My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now EEE3, awesome stuff was created for zillionaires in the Japanese home market, by companies you may not realize are beyond high end, such as Pioneer and Technics. The Technics SP10 MK 3 with matching obsidian composite base is considered by some to... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Theo, your proposal woudl certainly work, but using a cd recorder for the a/d conversion, or creating a cd then loading it onto a drive as a digital file, necessarily limits the final quality to no better than cd quality, whereas if you use a bett... | |
| rca plugs - comparisons? Sonic_genius, could it be that all those you tested really are roughly equivalent, and the Nextgen jacks would have improved them all about equally? | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Wavetrader, I currently use an old AR LS-15/EAR 834P/Hagerman Piccolo. Budget constraints (the SEP-IRA is long gone.) Adequate, but... | |
| What three cd's would one keep from collection ? Why specify cd's which are available on vinyl with better quality? Or perhaps, stick with road Cd's for listening in the car. Joni Mitchell - great at home on vinyl, not so great digitized and with road noise. Something like Allmans Live at FM Eas... | |
| best cartridge for my system agree that your budget ss equipment is nice for what it is, but is likely the limiting factor. Upgrade the preamp first. | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... I use an M-audio Delta 1010 AD converter and Wavelab mastering software. Expensive and hard to learn, though. | |
| Opinion on Nakamichi azimuth tape decks please Markpao, sorry, I meant Electronic Service Labs (ESL) www.eslabs.com/nakamichi.htm. Google "nakamichi repair" and they turn up. | |
| Opinion on Nakamichi azimuth tape decks please Excellent info above! On a budget, Naks may not be the best choice. They are antiques. There are only a few shops that can work on them (ESS is probably the best), and you might be shocked what it can cost to repair a Nak, especially a Dragon (ove... | |
| Bent Audio TAP-X vs. older TAP / Muisic First I had been wondering exactly the same thing. Ultrafitimes, have you had a chance to compare them side-by-side? | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Thanks for the opinions. The advice that it depends most on the speakers makes sense. It sounds (ahem) like it has been difficult to go back to SS and stay with it, for most who have tried, after becoming accustomed to the beauties of tubes, but l... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Zanth, I do not own a Steelhead (I wish!), but it uses "autoformers" and is probably incompatible. Anyone with a Steelhead will surely get better cartridges than a Grado, anyway. I don't think you're limited to FET's, any active stepup should work... |
