| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Rodney played at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd. in support of the release of The Houston Kid, just he playing an acoustic guitar accompanied by an electric guitarist (Steuert Smith) and bassist (the great Jerry Scheff, a favorite of mine and T... | |
| New In 2024 @jafant: In addition to the 27-CD boxset of Dylan’s 1974 Live Recordings that Sony Records is issuing on September 20th (27 CD’s !), Third Man Records is issuing a 3-LP set of (some of) those recordings that augments the original 2-LP set from ... | |
| Tune of the Day @loomisjohnson: I haven't heard, what's up with Ryan? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Congratulations on picking up the Rodney Crowell album, Steve. The Houston Kid has been in my Top 10 list of 21st century albums since it's release (on CD only) in 2001. I've been hoping for it to be released on LP, and bravo to VMP for ... | |
| Tone arm length Another factor to consider is the effective moving mass of each length. I don't know how much emm the 3" adds, but the lower a cartridge's compliance is, the more it "likes" a higher emm arm. And of course the inverse is also true. | |
| Mary Martin Died Mary Martin worked for Albert Grossman, who managed Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter Paul And Mary, Janis Joplin, and Ian & Silvia. In 1965 Mary heard a band named The Hawks performing somewhere in the Northeast (I believe is was out on L... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? What's A.I.? | |
| Sviatoslav Richter. Greatest pianist of the last century? Jerry Lee Lewis. For a band member, Terry Adams of NRBQ. | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To @grislybutter: RAM is my favorite of McCartney’s early albums, though I also like his s/t solo debut. I have never heard anything post-Band On The Run, so my opinion is of questionable value. I did get the Wings Wild Life album when it was rele... | |
| Thinking About Selling and Replacing My Pop/Rock Vinyl Collection @drmuso: I well remember the surface of the Preener material (velvet-like) becoming too wet when I first started using one. I removed the end cap of the inner tube, removed the "wick" and let the foam rubber under the velvet covering dry out, a... | |
| Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps The MG1.7i, like the LRS+, needs a sub (imo). @secretguy doesn’t like to hear it, but for about the same price as the 1.7i you can get the superior (imo) Eminent Technology LFT-8b. And it doesn't require a high current power amp. | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To When I’m in the mood AC/DC, The Band just won’t do. And visa versa. But I am no longer EVER in the mood for Cream. Or The Jimi Hendrix Experience. I saw both live twice, in 1968 and ’69. And The Who twice those same years (performing the A Quic... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To AND Shoot Out The Lights is a great sounding recording, a bonus. I regularly use it as one of my demo LP’s. | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @ricevs: Your comments are always welcomed by me (by the way, I still own the Audible Illusions Modulus 2 pre-amp you "modified" for me about 25 years ago. Modified is an understatement; it is a complete redesign, turning the full-function pre ... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. Such as? I also own Quads ("57"s), Maggies (Tympani T-IVa), and ESS (Transtatics). In the past I have also owned Infinities (RS-Ib), Fulton Industries (Model J), a few others. It’s not that the ET LFT-8b is "better than the acknowledged master... |
