| Unusual Old School Way of Wiring Speakers What the Dynaquad box does is create a left minus right signal (the opposite of a left plus right mono one, as used for the center speaker in 3-channel stereo---somewhat popular in the 1950’s, and of course in home theater for the dialog channel).... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: Turning a new friend on to a favorite old album or movie is SO fun! It's also a great way to appraise their taste, intelligence, sense of humour, etc. | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One @tylermunns: David Lynch is one of the few genuine genius (a very overused adjective imo) of our lifetimes. Criterion was having their annual catalog sale a few weeks ago, and I picked up copies of their DVD (I haven’t yet made the move to Blue R... | |
| MoFi controversy Exactly, @daveyf. It’s fine that MoFi decided they prefer DSD to analog, but they then shouldn’t have continued to claim they were cutting their LP’s from analog master tapes. That was, of course, a deliberate, intentional lie. And by the way, An... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @noske: I saw Larry Norman quite a few times when he was one of the two lead singers in the San Jose group People, who had a hit single in 1968 with their recording of The Zombies "I Love You". Larry was asked to leave the group when the four musi... | |
| Creedence on vinyl Excellent @tylermunns! Analogue Productions also has fantastic LP’s of Elvis and Roy Orbison titles featuring glorious 1950’s sound, recordings made with tube equipment, vocals often captured with the legendary Neumann/Telefunken U47 tube micropho... | |
| Creedence on vinyl @tylermunns: Good news! Analogue Productions has reissued the debut Buddy Holly LP, and it is spectacular! Considerably better than the version issued by MCA Records in 1988. AP has issued the Crickets LP as well, and it is not far behind. As for... | |
| Owning Up To It @waytoomuchstuff: I just saw/heard NRBQ live, and Terry Adams remains an amazing keyboardist. He is a very physical player, pounding the keys (electric piano and clavichord, organ) like Little Richard and/or Jerry Lee Lewis, but with the influence... | |
| MoFi controversy @rauliruegas: Yes, direct-to-disc LP's (for you youngins, no tape recorder of any kind is employed, analogue or digital. The output of the microphone mixing console goes straight to the lathe cutting the lacquer) remain the by-a-wide-margin most-a... | |
| New In 2022 Coming From Light In The Attic Records in November: a 50th Anniversary Edition of Karen Dalton's legendary In My Own Time album. | |
| What I really hate about some music Excellent points @tylermunns. Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive" still hold up as timeless truths 75 years after having been written and recorded. I learned of singer/songwriter Iris Dement fr... | |
| MoFi controversy @daveyf: I too have the old MoFi Folk Singer, and have never felt the need to own another version. But Analogue Productions has a 1-LP/33-1/3 RPM version of the album, as well as a 2-LP/45 RPM, and I’ll bet they’re the best of them all. $40 and $6... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? When I was thirty years old I was dating a young woman who, when reaching "that moment" in lovemaking, spoke in tongues. At least that's what her caterwauling sounded like to me. She was a recovering cokehead, and a ton-o-fun. ;-) | |
| How many plays can you get out of a good record? I have used Last Record Preservative since it was introduced almost forty years ago. My LP's are still in like-new condition, some of them bought new and now fifty-five years old. I have also always used the best record cleaners available at any g... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? There is a guy who posts amazing videos on YouTube, calling himself The Jazz Shepherd (real name Dan something). In his deep discussions about Jazz music (he is a good friend of Stereophile reviewer Ken Micallef, himself a serious Jazz fiend) he i... |
