    Any Southwest Technical Products Builders/ Owners Out There?

    I'd forgotten all about this old thread 'til the "new post" e-mail popped up this morning. Read the entire thread... Felt like I was visiting an old friend... Sorry to say I lost the Tigersaurus kits to Hurricane Ike a couple years ago when they (and my house) spent a night in Galveston...

    I love those guys... most versitile group I've ever heard and seems like they've been around forever. Me... A "new to me" garage sale find: Soulhat - Good to Be Gone. Not all golden, but bats about 0.800... Borderline vocals (but you like them), quirkly lyrics, fine-ass guitar... Feels...

    Wednesday Tunes

    ^ Well I'll be a Monkee's uncle... ^^ Chris Hillman put out a great deal of underappreciated stuff after his Byrds and Burritos days. In addition to his solo work the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band was a nice collaboration while it lasted.

    Wednesday Tunes

    Warren Zevon - "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (An Anthology)" One of those bad voices you just love. Always enjoyed "Werewolves...",. etc., but I'd never owned him until his passing. Now I know there was a hole in my music. What really grabs me is the outstanding SQ and musicianship of this...

    Thursday Tunes

    Paula Cole: This Fire Used CD shop purchase for "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone". Just threw it in expecting full disk of pleasant, background fluff in the same vein... But no-o-o-o-o-o... In the opening of the first track, "Tiger", she reached out, grabbed me by the balls and said, "Sit...

    Name I'd Almost Forgotten - Rectilinear

    Well, I'd say they achieved their goal... I remember the Lowboys as being very bass heavy.

    Name I'd Almost Forgotten - Rectilinear

    These popped up in an ebay search. I remembered the Model III Lowboys, but not these. Except for the Lowboy, I did not have much luck finding info on the net. Here's the auction which closed at $600... more than I thought they'd fetch...

    Vintage Koss Pro4AA or New Pro4AAT?

    One thing the Koss Pro 4AA's do have going for them is their lifetime warranty. So buy the cheapest, rattiest pair you can find, send them to Koss with a small check ($6 per pair if memory serves) and in about a month or so you've essentially got a new pair in your hands. I was shocked that...

    need AR-4X spkrs info

    Classicspeakerpages is a good link, but not a wealth of info on the 4x there. 4x's are late 60's vintage. Came between the 4's and the 4ax's (most often seen). I've seen 2 pairs of 4x's on ebay. Both were in nice shape, one pair sold for $50 and change, and the other for $75. They're...

    AR 1W's and 3t's

    Clearly rare offerings in nice condition, and likely worth a lot more as a complete set. Have seen one pair of 1W's before, and they went pretty high as well... around $1000 as I remember. It almost looks as if the 3t's are vented... slots along the top front. I'll see if I can dig up...

    AR 1W's and 3t's

    Interesting old AR's that just sold in separate auctions on ebay. Both went for BIN prices of $1500 for the W's and $500 for the 3t's. Have seen 1W's, but had not ever come across the 3t's before.

    What got you started/addicted to Hi-Fi

    When I was 12 or 13 I was given a Sears Silvertone Stereo Record Player for Christmas. It was the old suitcase style with the turntable that swiveled down out of the case and the speakers swiveled out to the sides. The breakthrough came months later when I realized that the speakers could be...

    YES....my 15 year search for The Grail

    Will need to look into the yahoo group. Sizable YES fan here as well... From "Time and a Word" through "Tales..." anyway. Wore out two copies of "Close to the Edge". Was dissappointed in "90125"... I mean the lyrics actually seemed to mean something. What was up with that? Saw them a couple...
