Re: Favourite guitarist

I'm a Billy Bragg fan, but I don't class him as a guitarist, Nils Lofgren is American, and as I said, I haven't finished yet, so just because people aren't on the list yet doesn't mean I'm going to be ignoring them.

Re: Houdini

Ive found that silicone damping via a damping trough and paddle helps alot with controlling resonances in arm/cartridge systems. If a cart is isolated from the arm it shouldnt excite resonances in the arm itsself, but, its own structural resonances will affect its output as there is nowhere for the...
