Where Are They Now?
Exclusive: Remember Their Names? The Stars of TV’s Fame 30 Years Later
For any kid who ever dreamed of making it as a performer, or who felt the struggle to fit in at high school, this show, which ran from 1982 to 1987, is an icon. All those dramatic story lines intercut with full-production song-and-dance numbers felt authentic because so many of the kids really were aspiring musicians and dancers. They may not have been perfect, but we loved them for it. Let’s look back at the show 30 years later... By Nina Hämmerling Smith

Rainer zur Linde is a German electronics auohtr who has written several excellent books on vacuum tube audio for the Elektor publishing house: unfortunately, all are in German. There is a compilation in English but unfortunately it isn’t very good. If one can read schematics and is willing to learn say fifteen common German technical terms it is not necessary to read German to build everything in these books. The Black Book is Rohrenverstarker fur Gitarren + Hi-Fi. The White Book is Audio-und-Gitarrenverstarker mit Rohren or something very similar. These are the two you want. If you want a really good modern SS phono pre, the one designed by Norman Thagard and published in AudioXPress beats 99.9% of the expensive commercial ones. Dr Thagard (a medical doctor and Shuttle astronaut but not an EE) has an interesting exchange with Douglas Self over this design in subsequent issues (Self raises cogent issues but is a total putz about it) and this is worth reading. A simpler solid state design was interestingly enough published 20+ years earlier in Audio Amateur by a Ph.D and astronaut candidate (I don’t think he ever flew) named Lampton. It isn’t bad at all but not up to the level of the current high end ones. Thagard’s is and more. It should be pointed out that Mr. Fine, here is the son of Robert and Wilma Cozart Fine, who were two of the finest (no pun intended) classical music recordists in music history, many of whose recordings are considered to this day as being amongst the best ever recorded. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about classical music as to have an opinion on the performances, but the sonics of many of these are astonishingly good even to the casual listener.
