| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: It’s funny Steve---I also mistakenly credited the k.d. lang Ingenue One-Step as being on Impex Records, in a response to the video Norman Maslov posted on YouTube around the time of it’s release. Feeble minds think alike? I previously ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Steve, on the k.d. lang (for some reason she spells her name all in lower case letters) Ingenue One-Step album, are you not talking about the recent release on Sire/Reprise Records? One thing Impex and Sire have in common on their One-St... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed After for years being an almost lone voice in recommending the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, it’s great to be joined by others. But that recommendation is dependent on a number of factors, ones that make the recommendation non-universal. Not ever... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Hey Steve, does Jackpot add sales tax to your orders? If you're buying enough on one order to make it worthwhile, I could pick them up for you at the Jackpot brick-and mortar retail store in Portland. Oregon has no sales tax! I have kep... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Speaking of Jackpot Records LP’s Steve, in 2022 they reissued an album I love: - Shake Some Action by The Flamin’ Groovies. Produced by Dave Edmunds in 1976, the recorded sound is far from audiophile in quality, but that was intentio... | |
| A music thread for diehard analog guys that get great sound from cd I somehow missed this thread. One CD I have that features great sound AND music is: - A Meeting By The River (on Water Lily Acoustics), an album of instrumental duets by Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Recorded by Kavichandran Alexander o... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? @nogaps: One ET LFT-8b owner claims that when he removed the wood trim rail from the top of each speaker, the height of the sound stage increased. I haven’t tried it yet, but diffraction caused by speaker enclosures is a real thing, and can res... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? The LFT-8b retailed for $2499 when I bought my pair. I ordered them with painted black wood trim rails; I figured I'd be listening to them with the grill cloth/frame removed, and painted black they kind of disappear. | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? Wow @nogaps, a $3500 pair of speakers (with the Sound Anchor stands) for $1450! And no shipping!! I'm relieved you really like the LFT-8b, I'd feel guilty if you didn't. It's a shame so few people get to hear the speaker, what with Eminent Tec... | |
| Bobby Whitlock has passed Yeah Steve, @tooblue beat me to it! I started watching the videos Bobby's wife CoCo shot and put up on YouTube when the pandemic hit. She's behind the camera, feeding him questions. He tells lots of great stories that cover his time with Delan... | |
| Two more Rock 'n' Roll casualties. Dave was a very big fan of Brian Wilson, In his essay on Wilson is the September issue of Stereophile, Mike Mettler included the following: Dave Edmunds told me from his home in Wales: "It’s ("God Only Knows") a miracle of Pop record making... | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? @slaw: No hurry Steve. Thanks---Eric. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Available only on CD, the two solo albums (The Sea To The North, and Music For Our Lady Queen Of The Angels) by The Band's resident (and recently deceased) genius Garth Hudson. A little hard to find for a while, but now available on ebay. Musi... | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? @slaw: Since you included turntable mats in your post Steve, any chance of you doing another run of the one you made a few years back? Pretty please? | |
| Do you recall "instant improvement" from your first stand-alone DAC ? This is now almost ancient history, but my first-and-only stand-alone DAC was the Muse Model Two, in its day a mighty fine sounding digital converter, and reasonably priced. |
