| Is blasphemous Music ok? @hilde45: Like, for instance, politics? ;-) | |
| Owning Up To It How about unforgettable moment? ;-) In late 1968 I went to see Jeff Beck during his first solo U.S.A. tour (he’d already been over with The Yardbirds), after the release of his great Truth album, which I loved. I also loved his band on that album... | |
| NRBQ live at The Doug Fir Lounge in Portland this Friday (tomorrow)! Well fellas, it was a HELL of a show! Though Terry Adams is the sole remaining original member (playing electric piano, clavichord, and organ, singing, and banging on various percussion instruments), the band sounded almost exactly the same as th... | |
| Sub Confusion @jackd: And, all the Rythmik's have what @mike_in_nc wants: a continuously-variable phase control, providing anywhere from 0 degrees of phase "lag" (no delay) to 180 degrees (16 milliseconds of delay, which does electronically what moving your sub... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Great nomination @tylermunns! A favorite use of music in film of mine is that in Blue Velvet. The score by Angelo Badalamenti is great, but what kills me is how David Lynch uses the music and voice of Roy Orbison is a couple of scenes. One reall... | |
| Sub Confusion Another company offering subs with high-level hookup capability (the sub taking it’s signal off the power amp’s speaker binding posts) is Rythmik Audio, in their non-XLR plate amps. Those plate amps offer both high-level and line-level (from a pre... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Perhaps just a matter of semantics, these days it’s not the music which may be blasphemous, but rather the lyrics. But back when the Catholic Church ruled the Western world, the use of the tritone---then referred to as "the Devil’s interval" was ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @sbank and @bslon: The two Kasey Chambers/Shane Nicholson albums are available on LP, on Sugar Hill Records. Good music. | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito Good points @larryi. There is a case to be made that a DSD 256 (or even 64) file made from a master analogue tape is not necessarily in every way inferior to a 1/4" (or even 1/2") 15 IPS (or even 30 IPS) analogue copy. I’ve read reports from well-... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito @djones51: I fully expected to hear of a class action suit being filed. It wouldn't at all surprise me if this puts MoFi out of business. If so, they have no one to blame but themselves. I myself own far more Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable Doesn’t anyone own an Oracle anymore? The Townshend Audio Rock table has quite a dedicated cult following. | |
| Olivia Newton John Passes at age 73 "You're The One That I Want" is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's pure Power Pop, along the lines of ABBA, whose music I adore. I consider The Ramones a Pop group too. | |
| New In 2022 @reubent: I’ve seen Joan live twice, once with just her guitarist and pianist as accompanists, the other with her (excellent) full band (guitar, piano, bass, and drums). She’s great both ways. Joan kinda reminds me of the young Maria Muldaur, bot... | |
| Tune of the Day "Attics Of My Life" by Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, with Amy Helm on the third part of the delicious 3-part harmony singing. The song was written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, and if it was recorded by The Dead I doubt it sounds as goo... | |
| I have a Teres 245 setup for Rega arm. Question re Origin Live arms Also look into the Audiomods Series Six arm. The designer/builder started out using the Rega 300 tube in his earlier arms, but now uses his own carbon fiber tube, and manufactures all the other parts in his machine shop. A very well designed and b... |
