A Learning Tool, A Listening Tool, A Protractor

Apr 07, 2010

A gift from Uncle JA: The DB Systems DBP-10 protractor. This thing has been around since the dawn of time. When Jesus needed a protractor to properly align the Denon DL-103 moving-coil cartridge on his heavily modified Technics SL-1200 turntable, he called up David Hadaway at DB Systems. “Thou shall never sell this kick-ass protractor for more than $49, David,” said Jesus. David, of course, allowed Jesus to keep his sample on “a long-term loan.”

Beatles Mono, git it

I got it yesterday, and man, is it fun and fascinating! I have all the original Beatles on vinyl, most on more than one copy. I have British, Japanese, MoFi and normal American releases. But most of my vinyl, almost all of it actually, is stereo.

I have two decent copies in mono, but they are not at all pristine. Suffice it to say, I know the Beatles.

Benefits of using a Heavy Equipment Rack for Audio Gear

Room Tuning & Acoustics

I have recently been shopping around for an equipment rack for my gear and was curious to know what everyone's thoughts were on the importance of weight and density of the rack. I found a web site that offers some very nice wooden racks of various sizes and made of different wood types and thicknesses.

Here is a scenario to help explain the question. If I had an equipment rack with 4 shelves including the top and bottom platforms that was made of 2" thick Walnut and had 3" thick posts for legs would it be more acoustically dead then a similar rack with 3" thick Maple shelves?

Whither HRT?

Just wondering why the Musicstreamer(s) seem to have been overlooked in the latest Recommended Components listing. They have been well-received in Stereophile's pages and elsewhere (and reviewed by AD, as I recall) and God knows I love my Musicstreamer+...but nothing. Not even a "replaced by newer model" notation, which I take it they have been. Seems odd. So what's up?

(Maybe this is better off in the General Rants section, but since it comes out of the Live Sound thread in this section, I put it here. Feel free to move, Stephen.)

I would sound quite different from Dave even if we both played the same trumpet, played the same piece and in the same style.
