| When to get your amp up graded caps ??? I have 2 Electron Kinetics amps - one was built in the last 3 years, one is about 10 - 12 years old. The manufacturer (EKSC)advocates recapping after 10 years - insists the amps sound better and operate more reliably. The newer one sounds signific... | |
| Is It Safe To Connect Speakers To Two Amps?? if my primary reason was to protect a quality tube amp in the first place, I definitely would not risk it. | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. Here's another I like a lot. I search Youtube to find backing tracks to play guitar along with. This one is one of the great all time Jams:Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers - "Melinda" | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. I always though Cowboy Junkies is one of the best cover bands around (also one of the best Original bands) - here's some evidence:Cowboy Junkies - "Powderfinger"Cowboy Junkies - "One" | |
| Musical Sub to pair with Mani2 Sigs.. I'm using a Rel Storm III and it integrates nicely with my Mani's. . . . incredibly musical . . .The Mani's hardly need a sub. I cross it over at 30Hz, and it covers those deep bass notes only. | |
| amp for totem mani2 I generally agree with Meiwan - most critical is placement some distance into the room. I have mine on a diagonal about 3 ft from the wall - and they're about 7 ft apart (after a good deal of trial and change). I like the target stands - sand fill... | |
| Setting tube bias have you sent an email to Paul describing this problem? Whenever I corresponded with him I received a reply with "probable cause" explanation from him within hours. I ended up sending min in to him once when it was blowing tubes. He fixed it and a... | |
| Setting tube bias what they said. No reason a TAD 60 won't bias KT-88s - I had one and switched between EL34s and KT88s now and then without problems, except for when I had a tube go bad. | |
| Flip flopped orchestra? I do have some records with musicians arranged in really odd manner. Most of these are Jazz LPs. One (I don't recall which - I think it's Bill Evans LP) has the drummer on the far right - beyond the right speaker. | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? My favorites include Jim Hall, John Abercrombie, Joe Pass, Django Reinhardt, Philip Catherine, Ralph Towner, Charlie Byrd, George Bensen, Larry Coryell . . . somewhat in order of preference.I also like Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLuci... | |
| how do you pick your next music? mine is mood dependent, which is time of day dependent. Sometimes I will decide to look for something I haven't played in a long time just to freshen up the rotation. | |
| Has anyone heard this? thanks for sharing Bwos. I had never heard it, nor of him or his music. The samples are interesting - I just ordered a copy. | |
| What is your source for discovering new music? Mainly Amazon.com recommendations for me. But I will pick up things on a whim in the used record store (like Elizabeth) too. | |
| Best LP since Waters left Pink Floyd? I think The Division Bell sounds more like Pink Floyd than anything Waters has done on his own. I agree. "Momentary Lapse" too. I like Waters' solo stuff a lot but don't think it's at all like Pink Floyd. When I bought Division Bell in the early '... | |
| Best LP since Waters left Pink Floyd? I've always been partial to the two Pink Floyd albums - "Division Bell" and "Momentary Lapse . . .". Hard to chose which I like better, but I like both better than the latter PF w/RW albums (eg "The Final Cut") |
