| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease There is no cure or effective treatment for Meniere's. If you have a severe enough version you will go deaf and constantly lose your equilibrium. Less severe cases "just" have godawful/constant ringing in the ears. It is genetic. | |
| Favorite Dylan? "Highway 61 Revisited" (Mono), I used to listen to Desolation Row on reel-to reel tape at the school library (10th grade). | |

| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records @crazybookman:I agree with you on the stereo Beatles "White Album" debacle. Good news though, they got it right on the Mono remaster & pressing. | |
| Magic Moments in listening Thanks slaw, I did forget...it won't happen again. Sadly "Laid Back" was one of my vinyl LPs lost in the great Los Angeles flood of 1991. Half of my collection was destroyed when the water heater broke and put the basement under water. | |
| Magic Moments in listening "These Days" - Jackson Browne, Tom Rush, Don Henley? I first heard the Tom Rush cover which preceded the Jackson Browne original version by 3 years. Go figure. Anyway, great song & Jackson has defined a large part of my outlook on life...not t... | |

Jim rebuilt the Andromedia in 2011 out of his shop near Santa Barbara, but wouldn't touch the Athena because it was... | |
| Magic Moments in listening Jackson Browne, "For a Dancer", 1974, CA Hiway 1, sunrise, cassette tape...had to pull over. | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Dire Straits "Making Movies"; | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? P.S.: I use the Bursons in a 3rd system. My main uses a 1988 Sumo Andromeda with Martin Logan electrostatics, while my studio system has a Melody integrated (NOS tubes) hooked to highly modified Klipsch RF-7s (Audience Crossovers by Dean). I liste... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? I have 2 Burson Timekeepers bridged in Mono. Matched with the Dynaudio Special 40 speakers they are beautiful. Clean, pure & transparent. Read the reviews, they are not exaggerating in their praise. Burson is known for their desire to simplify... | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Just put on a Columbia 1/2 speed master of "Stardust". My son's comment (an iPhone/earbud kind of guy) was "Yeah, well he's right here with us." | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? PCconnexion has the Burson Timekeeper on sale for $845 each (original MSRP $2600 each). A/AB operation, 240 watts @ 8ohm, unbelievably clean & pure. I am using them with Dynaudio Special 40s and it's like having a personal concert in my listen... |
