I Want the World to Stop

I Want the World to Stop

Belle and Sebastian’s new album, <i>Write About Love</i>, is due in stores on October 12. I spied an advance copy in the office of our music editor, Robert Baird. He’s hogging it up for himself, though. Something about having to “write a review.” Whatever. Fortunately, from now until the 12th, NPR will be <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130212728">streami… the entire album</a>, so we can get a cheap fix until we buy the real thing.

Anyone used turntablebasics.com?

I ask because previously I had some good experiences with them (I say them but I think it's just one guy). They have some bigger gear, but mostly I have bought setup and tracking force gauges, replacement belts and the like. Turntable accessories mostly. They have a huge replacement belt selection though! A few years ago I got a duplicate belt for my well Tempered TT for a third of what the manufacturer was selling, and to my ears it was identical. If anything it was more durable too.

A tweak that works with some objective evidence

Some months ago I posted on a thread about putting Herbies Gliders underneath my speakers. These gliders actually decouple the speakers from the floor rather than couple them.
But I have wood floors on pier and beam built in 1938 and the floors are a little spongy.

The 8 gliders were under 120.00.

The results were actually quite significant. The bass was much tighter, better defined but not overpowering. The mids much clearer and the imaging kinda jawdroppingly improved. I quickly saw I didn't need more bass traps after all.

Looking for some advice to choosing a subwoofer

Hello all,
little background..
mains B&W 602's
Yamaha reciever that is 10 yrs old,
and a denon dvd player and ps3

I use my set-up for 90% music and 10% movies.
I listen to my music LOUD... I want this sub to give a beating and take a beating. This is a give/take relationship. However I am in a budget...

I have a b&w asw650 that is currently broken down for the 2nd time now. This is really frustrating as I would think if you buy quality equipment it should last. Well apparently the amps go out on those things. I loved it when it worked tho.
