| The Hub: EVEREST - The tallest peak of JBL range? Interesting names for speakers. K2 may shorter Mt. Everest, BUT it has never been climbed, so maybe that should have been the top model? | |
| Soundproofing and room correction for apartment? I agree with schipo, your treatments may alter the sound, but they will do little to "soundproof" the room and protect the neighbors from 2 am listing sessions. ! | |
| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? Starting off in 2003, you don't really have much perspective. Between 1985 and 1990, 13 audio stores in my town closed up for good. You should compare to prices 20+ years ago. By 2000 audio was already dead. High end used to be priced for doctors,... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Eddie Van Halen - Hot for Teacher. blazing. | |
| Dynamics at lower volumes? If you are talking dynamic range - it just can't happen at low volumes. In valid question. | |

| The better Led Zeppellin live recordings on vinyl. "The Song Remains the same" was also a movie - watch it!How the West Was Won - never heard of it. not a zep original- skip it! | |
| The Hub: Is a Vinyl Revival in progress? I guess it could be both a fad and a trend (not a trend, but a small market that is being served). There is a niche market for vinyl and although it is not for me, it is good that people have a choice and can get what they like. The fad part may l... | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Hi Cyclonucman, The Beatles did not even tour that much after 1966. One major reason is they were not able to play allot of the studio tracks live. George Martin was sticking things on the record that left the band scared to try. | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? Yes, tubes have a rock factor never incountered with SS. If you want the real crunch of a LP, then start with high power PP amps and fat sounding speakers. Bands like Tool and Alice in Chains sound awesome !! The mids just scream at ya. some puris... | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi Don't forget when Clint sang on "Paint Your Wagon" ! lolol(Has that ever been put on CD?) | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Gotta agree with Onhwy61. Now-a-days, it is common to do an album and the players are never in the same building together. Even the Beatles would step out of the studio and not really know what the song would sound like or even what the song would... | |
