| When a Reviewer "likes" something Bifwynne, thank you for the response. I understand that you were not one of the posters declaring one technology to be superior to the other. And, for the record, I did not intend to be confrontational in any way. My comments were a suggestion to ... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something I don't get it. And it should be pointed out that with all the references to correct speaker/amp matching, and all the proclamations about how one amplification technology is clearly better than another, there isn't a single reference to what it a... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Well, I guess someone has to follow up a post like that. Jeez!There, I did it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I am impressed. I love Little Jimmy Scott! I will never forget the first time I heard him. A friend came over a few yeards ago and, as we often do, try to stump each other by doing blind-tests to identify players and singers. He played this c... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Schubert, the individuals of whom I speak are anything but "stupid". They are brilliant thinkers and successful musicians who understand the impact that recorded sound had on what in the past had been, for the masses, a common pastime: learning to... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I am an optimist by nature, and while I don't consider myself an old man, I am getting there fast. I do agree, however, with part of your general sentiment (but, only part, damn it! :-) Life is full of ironies, no? I have heard it said more than o... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, it does get scary! I have not tried that, but I will. Thanks for the tip; I will report back. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, the only time that I have not had the wiring on the outside was during the first two years or so that I had the arm (about twenty years ago!) when it was wired internally with VDH silver. I changed the wiring (Cardas) to reap the benefits... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Courtesy of Chris, here is a composite pic of my ET showing the wiring arrangement. The current arrangement is the same, except that I am now using the original/lighter aluminum arm wand instead of the magnesium with wrap shown in the pic. Also, t... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? More food for thought:http://standpointmag.co.uk/node/3985/fullBrownsfan, I agree; glaring omission, Britten. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, that exactly what I have done. I run AudioNote wire from cartridge clips, underneath the arm wand (secured at two points along the span), then forming a loop from the back of the arm wand to the pillar, all the way to my phono pre, where ... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I am optimistic about the future of classical music, and music in general. There will always be a segment of the population that seeks out quality music, and will support it enough to sustain it, and that of future composers. For a fascinating rea... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Lloydelee21, Thomas Ades is a young Brithish composer writing some of the most interesting and adventurous orchestral music today; IMO, one of the leading living composers along side the already mentioned John Adams, Part and others already mentio... | |

| Jazz for aficionados One of my very favorites by two of my favorite singers. If you have never heard Betty Carter in her "earlier" voice, this may be a revelation. Ray Charles; well, what more can be said about his genius. I can probably do without the chorus "sweeten... |
