| Do you ever wonder? Not a big fan either but there are 4 or 5 albums that most folks will enjoy IMO.I'm partial to American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, and In the Dark.Garcia's solo work is very interesting as well.YMMV | |
| Do you ever wonder? Loomis,For the most part I agree with you and would add Paul Rodgers, Ian Hunter, David Lee Roth, Phil Collins (yuk), Burton Cummings to name a few. However, Clapton has done some exceptional solo stuff IMO. | |
| Do you ever wonder? Read one of Crosby's books.I admire him as a musician/performer but he's basically a self absorbed, ego driven prick.The most frequently used words in his books are me and I. | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions? 10-05-09: KoloftPlease underestand that this is not a sales call<<Well, if it walks like duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's usually a sales call.Quack quack. | |
| Output tube radiation exposure - thoughts? I hope Oliver Stone is reading this. | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? Great music is timeless.The remasters had little, if any, to do with your "discovery".I suspect you were simply a bit more open minded or receptive.Even dinosaurs like stanwal may get it some day. | |
| Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle I would update the digital front end before spending $5K on speaker cables.That is your weak link IMO.Wire technology does not change appreciably from year to year as the manufacturers may have you believe.Digital does. | |
| Do you ever wonder? One more time.It doesn't matter what anybody thinks of my list or any other list. Criticism (or validation) is unlikely to change many opinions here. For example, IMO Norah Jones really does suck despite some of the cheerleading for her I've read ... | |
| Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle Upgrade a component with your $5K instead of tossing money into the cable black hole. | |
| Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" Remasters The MFSL LP version of Sticky Fingers may be the absolute worst in the entire Mobile Fidelity catalog.Followed closely by Aja. | |
| How to keep ic's and power cords from touching Agree with Stanwal.I have a clusterfu** of cables in 3 listening rooms and no hum to show for it.I'd rather be lucky than good. | |
| Bob Dylan The last few albums are excellent. However, his best are Highway 61 and Blood On The Tracks IMO.Perhaps Blonde On Blonde as well. | |
| record cleaning findings/puzzle >>09-26-09: OilmanmojoThe alcohol primarily reduces the surface tension and allows the fluid to get deeper into the groove<<Incorrect. Surfactants, not alcohols, by definition (Surface Active Agents) reduce surface tension of solutions... | |
| New or Old DAC I was a pettyofficer in the US Navy years ago and after hours spent a great deal of time drinking heavily as well.Glad to see the tradition continues. | |
| record cleaning findings/puzzle A small percentage of IPA contacting a vinyl record for a very brief time has absolutely no deletorious effect.Nor does it contribute to any of the cleaning fluids' efficacy.Move on hifiguy. |
