Just caught the news. Pretty girls are getting kissed in Times Square. Justice...

As I mentioned on the Sunday Morning Music thread, I was given a collection of about 300 vinyl albums. The person (now deceased) that owned the collection had a taste for late '50's to mid '60's jazz and classical music as well as some pop music of that era. This collection included a good many...

I'm doing a little re-arranging with my stereo system and want to clean everything real good before I put it back together. I was wondering if any of you more experienced stereophiles could give me some good advice and helpful pointers for cleaning Tube Preamps (Cary SLP 98P). Should I clean the...

I had mentioned before that my living room/music room is upstairs, over the garage with standard 24" trusses that create a gap that runs under my whole upstairs apartment. I had standard insulation between floors, but not much. Well, that gap acted like an echo chamber and bass from the Depth i...

Nov. 21... Just watched my daily jazz video from a really cool site called "Jazz on the tube" J.O.T.T. is a jazz video search engine and they e-mail me a different jazz video every day. This is footage discovered in archives and shared with jazz lovers. The sound quality is what you'd expect...

I thought somebody mentioned here about unplugging the M.L. speaker while the system is still playing to (discharge?) the panel so they could vacuum it without waiting for 12 hrs. Will this work? I did a word search on vacuum and vacume and couldn't find the thread. Satch

Hey Gang, I finally got the ball rolling on a new set of Spires. Hope to have them up and running in a few weeks. :D:D:D I also want to do a little rearranging with my set up and need some advice. I want to move my 3 tier Adonis rack that holds the TT, Cary SLP 98-P and Ayre V-5xe from in...

Great to see you posting again. Mine was the 15th Tax Day. 52. I used to like my birthday, now, not so much. Satch

I got an unexpected surprise from FedEx today. An album I had back ordered from Acoustic Sounds and forgot about. 97 (+/-) year old Pinetop Perkins recorded live, direct to disc at Blue Haven Studios, Salina, Kansas. "The signal from the microphone is transmitted directly to the lathe." 45 rpm...

Tom, You're awesome! Thanks! When I started my M.L. journey I figured digital was going to be my reference. With the help of the members of this site, I managed to put together a stereo system that sounded better than any stereo system I'd ever heard. While cobbling together my Mutt system on a...

Hi Gang, I just noticed that yesterday was my first anniversary here at the M.L.O.C. I thought I'd post a photo of the speakers that opened my ears to what was possible. ML Montage speakers and a Dynamo sub powered by a Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH. That was before the dreaded "Joeyitis" set...

Somehow this guitar found me and refuses to be ignored. Its a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Jr. that has been slightly tricked out with new tuners and an extra pickup. Looks good with the 1950 Blond Kay Bass behind it. Had to have an amp to play it through so I ordered a new All Tube 50w Peavey ValveKing...

Now I have to figure out where to put the digital stuff. It's all disconnected and I'll have to build some kind of cabinet and do a little re-arranging. I had to take out the table I used to hold the Oppo, Benchmark and SB3 to make room for the ASC 18" Sub Trap that is under the Depth i. BTW the...

Hey Gang, I'm throwing around some ideas for a music project and I was wondering if anybody here is familiar with some of the late 50's early 60's Swank... Atomic Pop, Spy Jazz, Exotica, Jungle Jazz, Space Age Pop, ****tail Lounge, Rat Pack, etc. The whole Tiki Lounge Culture, Les Baxter...

Hi Gang, I now have Real Traps "Mini Traps" 2'X4' behind the Vista Panels and they work much better than the DIY panels I had there before. Using the DIY panels for corner traps and the Auralex panels around the windows. This first step has really improved overall clarity and tamed harsh...

One of the places I play is a bar just up the street (A1A) called the Beach Shack. www.beachshackbar.com Tonight it's Ben Prestage. This guy is an old school one man band. (He is in his early-mid 30s) With his left foot he has a rig set up to play snare drum and high hat. Right foot plays bass...

I've been playing around with some DIY sound traps. Basically they are just pegboard with 3 1/2" fiberglass wrapped in linen. Also a box of Auralex panels (24 1'X1') with 8 1' corner panels. One problem is the entrance door to my living room six feet to the left of the speaker in the photo. You...

Man, I thought the Scheu Analog Cello sounded like the Kitties-Titties. Today a small box that was very heavy arrived in the mail. I opened the box and pulled out what looks like a race car piston! A solid aluminum cylinder that feels like it weighs 5 lbs maybe more. O.M.G.!!! I was thinking no...

There is a bar just up the street called the Beach Shack where you can hear great live music, local musicians and national acts. No cover charge. Mostly blues... Sometimes I get a call "Hey, we need a bass player, wanna play?" Tonight it was The Reverend Billy C. Wirtz who also lives near by...

Just wanted to figure out how to post a photo here and show off the Scheu-Analog Cello Turntable I got from Jtwrace.
