| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative I still have my original Zerostat (the body of which is glossy red, both smaller and more rounded than the Zerostat III) sitting in a drawer, but stopped using it when in the 1980’s I got the already-mentioned Nagaoka Kilavolt No. 103, which I ... | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? Tom Martin comes across to me as do the salesmen in some high end shops. Prior to the appearance of TAS in 1973, J. Gordon Holt (who started Stereophile in 1962) was the only hi-fi reviewer assessing the quality of components based on their... | |
| Turntable Isolation @travisg: If you go with the Townshend, know that a set of 4 Seismic Pods is much cheaper than the Seismic Platform. Place the Pods under a shelf of your choosing (Baltic Birch plywood makes a great shelf) to save some $. | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? @viridian: I’m in complete agreement with your opinion and statement. I had already been reading J. Gordon Holt’s reviews in his essentially 1-man operation Stereophile Magazine when Harry Pearson started TAS. Holt’s number one priority in ass... | |
| Eric Carmen @loomisjohnson: Wow, I'll have to give "Let's Pretend" a listen. Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard ("I Fall To Pieces" being one he wrote) coined the term "Three chords and the truth" to describe Country music songs. The Raspberries wore matchin... | |
| Eric Carmen @loomisjohnson: For a song in which the chords fly by at a brisk pace, give "This Whole World" by Brian Wilson a listen. It's found on The Beach Boys Sunflower album, and is exhilarating! | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @ledoux1238: And it is members such as yourself that keeps me from abandoning Audiogon altogether. In addition to the LFT-8, we also have in common the Trans-Fi Terminator arm, mine mounted on a VPI Aries (with a TNT-5 platter). The Terminator... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @ledoux1238: Thanks for the heads up, I’m gonna read it right now. | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @deep_333: I didn’t have the @vonhelmholtz enquiry removed. Why do you assume I did? And your implication regarding me "rewarding" Thigpen (rather than merely wanting to bring the ET LFT-8 to the attention of Audiogon members) is a perfect exam... | |
| New In 2024 On June 7th Yep Rock Records is releasing an LP reissue of Super Group (Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams) Rockpile’s lone album, pressed from a new lacquer cut by Kevin Gray. The announcement makes no mention of the bo... | |

| New In 2024 New album from T Bone Burnett in April, his first of studio-recorded music in many years. | |
| A great interview with David Chesky. @czarivey: Your feelings about Chesky’s releases are very much like those of us old guys in regards to the Sheffield Labs direct-to-disk LP’s of the 1970’s. Those LP’s possess astounding sound quality, but few of them are admired for their musi... | |
| Replacement for Shindo EAR-Yoshino, Quicksilver Audio, and Music Reference, designed and made by Tim de Paravicini, Mike Sanders, and Roger Modjeski, respectively. | |
| Has anyone heard from bdp24 lately? Absence makes the heart grow fonder 😉 . Regarding my opinion of Twilley vs. Petty (I’m probably the only one to see them as "competeters"): While I like the first two Dwight Twilley Band albums quite a bit more than Petty’s first two, afte... |
