Happen to see these two on TV while channel surfing, and did some searching Nice to have a few choices of speakers, and I think, I had that dual turntable in high-school I need a wrist splint just watching Gab http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENBX_v1Po1Y&feature=related |

Their first CD is one of the standards that we turn to during the Mid-Atlantic Bottlehead meets. There is a DVD with the CD as well where they even got through their technique of how to get the sound. Cool to watch if you play guitar.

Being a little more into bass guitar (because my son has played bass since age 9)
Do a search for: Rodrigo y Gabriela on BASS "Tamacun"
Appears Rodrigo's fingers were made for the wide neck of a classical guitar.
The Dual I had in high school was a Dual 1214 or some special version of it, I bought without the plinth (from Olsen Electronics).
I had very little money and built a simple frame from 1 x 4 white pine to hold it. Probably no where near straight and level, but I had tunes.
This weekend will be 11 years since I built my first Bottlehead kit, a Foreplay I, which I still have and still works great.

Another guitar duo in a similar vein is Strunz &
Farah -- also breathtaking to listen to (as a former guitarist myself).
First TT? Believe it or not, a Rek-o-cut mechanism and platter salvaged from an old console and which I built a very simple plinth for. I don't remember what the tonearm was but it was all gold (or most likely gold anodized) and had one of those monsterous headshells, and the cart was a Shure V-15 type III. Sure wish I held on to the rek-o-cut and the cart now :-).
BTW, the plinth had zero suspension, was terribly microphonic, yet a set of 4 pink pencil erasers (the rectangular ones) under it made it tolerable.

I heard an album by them last night. It was amazing. I vow now that I draw real retirement I will support them by buying Vinyl, as available, and CDs. A quick look there is no vinyl on ebay. I did listen to nothing but vinyl at my buddy's house last night.
As I said last night, I have played the Guitar since about 1966, but I'm not talented. I appreciate talent.

I can say the vinyl is sublime. It really gets cranked at my house.
