Money talks...was that his tune also? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/arts/music/bob-dylan-sells-publishing.html?searchResultPosition=1 It is strange to me though. Who buys Bob Dylan's music today? I think he made out like a bandit.

In what sense? Many, if not most Europeans live in apartments. I suppose with clever planning they could accommodate 2, maybe even 3 turntables. They are good at fitting things. Look at Ikea. They've been doing it a long time:

That is debatable, and indeed, possible to measure. I like the look of wood, like many of us.

That is indeed the point. I'm sorry, I just felt like fooling around.

Amplifiers, if correctly designed and fabricated, should not have their own sonic signatures.

This is a very cool cover. I wonder why the artist chose to paint the instruments 3 or more times bigger their real dimensions...

Not in Europe.

These are pretty amazing sorbothane feet. They greatly reduce vibration, be it under your turntable , speakers, blender, subwoofer, compressor, etc. They retail from Amazon for $29. I was going to put them under my turntable, but ended up bolting a shelf to to the wall. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJ1PI66/ref=afx_dp_prime_egress?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&th=1 They are brand new in a bag. Package of 8 cones. My price is $17 post paid. I also have a package of 4 Isolation Circular Disc Pads 0.5" thick 1" wide. $12 post paid. I'm using 4 of these under my turntable shelf. These really made a difference. Anyone living in an old house will benefit from these, trust me. https://www.amazon.com/Isolate-Sorbothane-Vibration-Isolation-Circular/dp/B019O5BF28/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Isolate+It%21&qid=1607168728&sr=8-5

Larry, now that you've confirmed what simple tweaks can do to change the sound of your system, if you want to take your listening experience on the new level, put the turntable on the bottom of the stack, with the amp on top of it.. I was floored when I did that.

Shouldn’t it be split seams, not seam splits? I got an A in English as a Second Langauge from Brooklyn College.

Thanks, I'll check out the Hoffman. Meanwhile, which retailer has the best deal going on the Tone Poets? It's the sale season.

I see the solution to your problem: add a little more storage. No need to thank me.

The Boston Pops was his tag on the escort circuit.

Here it is.

V.S.O.P.

Over 1000 restaurants have permanently closed in NYC since the lockdown in March. I'm sure quite a few of them presented jazz bands for the pleasure of their patrons. It's a domino effect...

I'm not a musician, and not even good with words, but this isn't any worse than the bands I could hear weekly, mainly at the Tonic in NYC, or in any other place within 1 mile north of it, ca. 2002. I must single out the trumpeter's outfit. It certainly took some effort to procure an ensemble with so much hipster flair,...what europeans might call a garniture.

The producer of this record was Ralph Bass.

Yeah, that too...the music!

Yeah. It's much easier if you have removable headshells, like the ones on Technics tables, or SME tonearms. OR if you have a separate table for mono records. Even with removable headshells, don't forget that cartridges have different tracking forces, and different VTAs, which you'd need to tweak every time you change the headshells....unless you have, for example, two cartridges of identical dimensions, like 2 Grados, one mono, one stereo. Then the switch from stereo to mono would be effortless. If not, having two turntables set up, for stereo and mono, is ideal. You'd only need to set it up each cartridge once.

I disagree. I agree with Chekhov - "Everything should be perfect about a person: face, clothing, soul, thoughts." If he were into records, he'd surely say, "Everything should be perfect about an album: the vinyl, the jacket, the spindle hole, the inner grooves."

Just purchased my first mono cartridge, a Grado Mono ME+. Wanted one for a while, and will treat myself for the upcoming big 5-O. It was going to be either this one, or the Audio-Technica AT3MONO/LP. Both are supposed to be excellent for the price; I went with the Brooklyn, NY product. Now I just hope it doesn't hum on my turntable. https://4ourears.com/collections/specialty-cartridges/products/grado-prestige-mono-phono-cartridge-model-me Does anyone have a dedicated MONO cartridge for their records?
