| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of It's worth checking out, Mofi, if you're into Zevon.Typo correction in my Battin post above: should read Kim Fowley, not Fowler. He's actually same guy who started producing Zevon's first LP and then walked out in frustration, as per the link Mofi... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Mine is the eponymous LP by Skip Battin, bass player for the Untitled Byrds, released in 1972 on Signpost Records. It's filled with great, quirky songs co-written with Kim Fowler, and features Clarence White and Roger McGuinn, among others. I stum... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Mine would be the first Warren Zevon LP, "Warren Zevon". His debut album is wonderful.This is, indeed, a great record--one of my favs--but it's not actually his first. That would be Wanted Dead or Alive from 1969, re-released on Pickwick in 1979, ... | |
| Sealed / Front-ported monitor recommendations Merlin TSM is sealed-cab, plays very well near the front wall, and should be within your budget. Call Bobby P at Merlin for info and pricing on the latest incarnation. No affiliation, just a happy user. | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? As usual, Almarg nails it. | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs SE versus balanced is largely a matter of taste and layout. If you have long cables from amp to pre-amp, you're probably better off using balanced. If not, SE works fine. For me, SE sounds consistently better--more liquid and dimensional; balanced... | |
| Phono stage matching - how critical Which MM/MI do you prefer, Lewm? Just curious. | |
| Ortofon's new A95 - titanium SLM cartridge The rebuild of the A90 by Ortofon is complete. Little more than the SLM body and connectors are reused. In essence, you end up with a brand new A90, furnished with a new serial number. I had mine done a year ago; it turned out better than the orig... | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Who would argue with "inferrior period"? | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Uh, right. I think he already knows that his present amp is compatible with his present preamp. | |
| Where to find uni din protractor I have a lot of sympathy for those who have had bad experiences with dentonarm/Daniel. This kind of thing should not occur. On the other side of the ledger, though, I've bought a UNI-pro and UNI-P2S from him and my transactions went off without a ... | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? That should say 16.5K balanced for the Brystons. Please excuse the typo. | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Hi Lecram,One thing to consider in making your decision, of course, is impedance matching between your Jadis preamp and the Bryston 28B-SST2. From what I can gather, the JPS2 has an output impedance of 1.5K ohms. The 28B has an input impedance of ... | |
| Ortofon Anna or Transfuration Proteus? Since you seem to like SPUs, have you considered the new Ortofon 95th Anniversary? It is really good, and shares some of the technology of the Anna and A90. I have an SPU Royal GMII, which I've liked a lot for years; the A95 is a definite step up.... | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection Count me among them. Very interesting, Atmasphere. |
