| Whats playing on your system today? QUI - QUI -QUI!!! I am over 70 and grew up with Zappa. For new music and new sounds these guys kill it. Recent cover released of Beefheart's, 'You Treat Me Like An Ashtray Heart', that got a great review from Eric Feldman (Magic Band bassist)... | |
| Bright or Dim? Fools at 20 tend to be fools at 70! Fools grow more foolish just like wisdom (the domain of the Wiz - Frank Zappa) may improve with years.The best bet is to shut your eyes. Open eyes stimulate the optic nerve and make the brain work. Easily see... | |
| Rega RP8 vs. Planar 6 I moved into a Planar 6 a few months ago after a few months with a new Planar 3. I was so pleased I that traded up in just a few months later. I think the price on the RP8 is because it will be discontinued with the release of the Planar 8. No... | |
| is ok to use wifes new make up brush to clean styius needle Get the little box with sticky surface that cleans the stylus. A soft brush will remove dust and lint that collects but does not do much to get the oils that come from your hands to the disc to the needle off with a brush. Harder brushes, as oft... | |

Having recorded albums with David Yow (Scratch Acid & Jesus Lizard) and Trevor Dunn (bass man for the Bangles) and the Melvins producing and playing too they have some of the be... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. Analogue is a 'real' copy of the sound impressions where Digital is merely coded ones and zeros read by a machine and sound is produced in the process. There is no 'there' there with digital. There are NO sonic impressions. Just a digital progr... | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. I strongly urge those interested to read, "Why Hasn't Everything Disappeared Already?" by Jean Baudrillard. A long time philosophical critic of the 'screen' and the digital/visual nexus, Baudrillard presents a rich approach to understanding the... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality I maintain 2 complete systems for different types of music and of listening. One is built around Bose 901 speakers of the latest series. I have owned several sets over 40 years of 901s. I consider these the most musical of all I have ever heard... | |
| What's the scoop on the old Jensen Corp "Advent" speaker by H. Kloss? I was able to open the site yogiboy sent and that helps. The set I have is stamped "Jan 12, 1977". I did learn that the switch acts like an entenuator or L-pad with 3 distinct settings at 3 dB steps. A whole page pasted to the backs of the spe... | |
| What's the scoop on the old Jensen Corp "Advent" speaker by H. Kloss? Yes, these are the original real item. I have a note to myself I read somewhere along the line that gave the 2800 Hrz number. I have not been able to confirm this or any other. I tried the site yogiboy sent (thank you) but the site is temporari... | |
| What's the scoop on the old Jensen Corp "Advent" speaker by H. Kloss? Thanks fall for the links and the advice. I have not been able to find any of the technical data on the original exept a 2800Hrz crossover. I do not know what this switch on the back is intended to do. I am not the best one for this task but wo... | |
| Advent Speaker Repair? I recently acquired a pair of the Advent big Kloss speakers with the 'famous' orange tweeters that are in excellent shape and a couple of Radio Shack 12" woofers that suck. The back features a switch where the wires enter that offers some 'power'... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Hi Mike, It sounds like you are on your way. My hightech consultant emphasized the need to 'fill the hole' because all kinds of reverb gets collected in there. I was advised to fill that hole above the TT and behind the TV. Even if you just fi... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving I just finished converting a built-in box or cove that held a big old TV. It put an open box in the room and is a nightmare for audio perfection. After lining the sides and top with carpeting I have add 12' x 12" accoustic tiles to back and corn... |
