Music in the Round #26

Music in the Round #26

Sep 30, 2007

The great format battle of our time continues to rage between the Blu-ray and HD DVD camps. For many reasons, some discussed in the July installment of this column, this battle may be the last one waged over physical media formats. But whether either or neither format wins, the outcome will be decided on the basis of video quality&mdash;issues of <I>audio</I> quality are being ignored. This is unfortunate for audiophiles for two reasons. First, we have a big stake in whatever will be the standard medium for movies and music, but second, this battle makes it apparent that the major forces in the marketplace are ignoring what matters most to us.

Art Missed one....

....in his review of the new Linn Keel, Ekos SE, and Trampolin.

Art stated, that as far as he knew, there was no other arm that mated as perfectly to the Linn's new inner plinth as the ARO or the Linn arms.

Not so.

The Kuzma Stogi, according to the review article and manufacturer's interview from when it was a new product.... was designed ON a LP12 table. This was due to the fact that the Kuzma Stogi was Mr. Kuzma's first design. Chicken and egg. The arm came first. He had to begin and build it based on something. That 'something' was the Linn LP12 turntable.

Left channel temporarily gone - now back - anyone know why???

I took my amplifier in for a re-tube and got a loan amplifier for the 10 days or so it will take. On plugging it in, I noticed the interconnect from the CD player was the wrong way round on the left channel. Ie., the arrows were pointing back toward the CD player, instead of up into the amp. Obviously, I connected it up wrong 3 weeks ago when we moved. I've been playing the last few weeks with the cable the wrong way round. When I connected the loan amp, and dropped in a CD - I only got the right channel. The sounds of silence on the left. Suspecting a dodgy amp, I turned everything off.
