| Two more Rock 'n' Roll casualties. I read that article about Dave a few days ago; I love his stuff with Rockpile, particularly. So sad to read this. | |
| "I Trust My Ears" @ezwind - (great Pigpen song, btw) - thing about the Ramones is that their musicianship was perfect for the music they played; they were tight, powerful, and energetic as can be, and nobody could play Ramones music like the Ramones. The purpose o... | |
| Need guidance on my planned Audiophile setup based on Synthesis A100 Nice gear - I've got a Holo May KTE as well. I think one of the first things you'll want to do is check out your room for places where some kind of sound treatment could be of benefit, and it almost always is; the room itself is the biggest influe... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @seasidelps - thank you for that recommendation; I'd not heard of Viola Labs before and I looked them up; fascinating stuff, and I've no doubt that this is as good as you say it is, and $4500 or so for something that listed for $22K is great value... | |

There are wonderful tube HP amps out there as we... | |
| White debris on front of cartridge I had a Clearaudio Charisma II MM cart in my Technics 1200G, and it would get that same residue you mention. I've replaced that with a Hana Umami Red, and that doesn't show, but it might be because of the shape and size of the Clearaudio cartridge... | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? @mapman - I won't call you shallow because there's nothing shallow about wanting things in your living environment that please you aesthetically... | |
| I find myself changing direction, in a way....... I used to love watching concert videos on DVD's, and later on YouTube; that's gotten to be just too much of a rabbit hole so I rarely watch a live performance vid; I do listen to YouTube for audio without visuals as well. So much stuff is availabl... | |

| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw - I used to have a zero-gravity chair to listen from, but the back went up farther than my head, and the sound would bounce off of it and into my ears, adversely affecting the listening experience. I replaced it with a Herman Miller Eames... |
