hey, i have a dual 1264 and it was doing fine, then the sound stopped coming from the speakers and the tone arm just went up and down. i fixed the tone arm but still no sound comes from my speakers. some sound does come out when i plug the TT into the "tape" inputs in the back of my reciever, but no sound comes out of the phono jacks? any insight would be much appreciated.

Amongst all the hand–ringing and head–scratching and kvetching about the music business and what we're going to do with our CDs and LPs and how iPods sound like shit but are the future whether we like it or not (in my case, the jury's still out), it's a good idea, at least in my overamped case, to step back, close–a–dee mouth and occasionally remember that at the bottom of all this claptrap, there's still music. Which I (we) presumably still love.

I too have found MDF to not fully hold screws or threaded inserts. But not all wood based products react so. Baltic birch plys,mahagony ply all hold screws and threaded inserts without backing out with time. MDF is truly a poor choice for a loudspeaker cabinets but its priced right very easy to CNC is gental on CNC bits.And you can paint it. This is hard to do with other wood based products used in loudspeaker cabinets. I only use MDF if customer requests paint and I let them know the painted cabinet will not sound as good as natural finish veneered baltic birch ply.

On the Way Home

On the Way Home

Apr 16, 2008

I ran into Lauren on the way home last night. Lauren is from Leicester, England. She is twenty-five years old, friendly, bright, and beautiful. It was a little before 9pm, and we were both just coming in from work. She complained about her hours. Lauren would prefer a nine-to-five job. These eleven-to-eight hours are taking up the best bits of her day. But it's a job. She's had it for only two weeks, but she's already looking for another. She doesn't know what she wants to do. By thirty-five, she hopes to be retired.

It is spring! Without doubt, it is spring. The skinny trees on Monmouth Street have suddenly bloomed all pink and purple and white, while the birds outside my kitchen window have learned to sing new songs. They make a wonderful racket in the morning. I like it. It makes me feel somehow closer to the world, to nature, to love and god and shit. This music of spring is a nice contrast to the sirens and jack hammers that normally make up a Jersey City morning.
