    Play an instrument? Or play a recording?

    I’m recuperating from both left and right total shoulder replacements. I’d given up playing instruments because my shoulders were so bad that I had no choice. In recuperation, I’m finding that as I gain facility and can play again, it is much more fun to make music than to play recordings...

    The Story of Linn - and a major new US dealer

    Paragon Sight and Sound (Ann Arbor, MI) recently acquired the Linn product line. In my opinion Larry Marcus and his staff are the best in the business, and with their usual zeal, they have launched their Linn representation with strong inventory, well trained staff, great demo capabilities...

    Anybody else do their own lutherie?

    I had my right shoulder replaced in November and the left is scheduled in less than two weeks. The arthritis has forced me to quit playing the guitar and I’d sold my acoustics some years ago as a consequence (including two pre war L5s, a Clarence White D28 Brazilian, a modern blonde L5 CES...

    Susannah McCorkle

    I couldn’t find any references to Susannah McCorkle on WBF. She’s worth a listen if you like female vocal jazz.

    Conrad Johnson LP series monoblocks and ground

    I had a pair of conradjohnson LP275Ms. These were the CJ flagship 15 or 16 years ago. They’re based on a linear pentode design, single ended, and CJ upgraded them to KT120s when the KT120 became to new “go to” big power tube. There were 8 KT120s and three 6922 driver tubes per amp. These amps...

    Question about sale of tube testers and tubes

    A possible quantification strategy to better understand the digital vs analog question

    I’m starting this thread because I think the idea will be lost in the existing related threads. Heck, it might get lost here too, but we’ll have to wait and see. When Bob Carver was trying to prove that he could replicate the sound of anyone else’s amp, he basically processed the same signal...
