| Band/artist documentaries. In the 90’s I lived in Burbank, and one restaurant in the neighborhood that I occasionally ate at was located on the ground floor of the building in which was the KROQ studio (somewhere near the top floor). One Sunday night I was having a late ... | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design I forgot to mention that the output voltage of Londons and Deccas is a very high 5mV! Schitt includes a 33dB gain setting specifically for Londons/Deccas on their Mani phono stage, 40dB on the Skoll and Stjama. Some London/Decca enthusia... | |

| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Electrostatics, planar-magnetics, ribbons, horns. But it’s not just the snare wires you’re hearing, but also the wires vibrating against the resonant (bottom) head on the snare drum. As an aside, to hear what a snare drum sounds like with the... | |
| Grade Master3 cartridge--Moving Iron Design @dogberry: I believe the new owners of the London (Decca) brand will put a line contact stylus on the Maroon model (which comes with a spherical/conical) for an additional $268. I say that because I sent them my Model 4RC to be rebuilt, and th... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? I bought Standing In The Doorway---Christie Hynde Sings Bob Dylan a coupla days ago, but haven't listened to it yet. I didn't particularly like Joan Osborne's Songs Of Bob Dylan album, but I do like Joan Baez's Any Day Now, a 2-LP set of Dylan ... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? I think all of mine have already been mentioned. Willie Nelson’s latest album is sort of a tribute album, in that all the songs on it were written by Rodney Crowell. If you haven’t heard Rodney’s The Houston Kid album, rectify that oversight! I... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Yes, rpeluso. | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire Jill did as many singer/songwriters are doing: touring without a band. I really miss the accompaniment musicians provide them, but it’s expensive. Increasing the ticket price will pay for them, but that might result in fewer tickets sold. Touri... | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire I just talked to her. She had already heard about it. | |
| Jill Sobule has passed away in house fire OMG, what a tragedy. I saw Jill live last in the mid-2000's, at a show at Club Largo in Los Angeles. My long-time girl friend (25 years!) was the personal assistant of the lawyer who represented her, and when Jill saw us at a table she tried to... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @maghister: No truer words were ever spoken!!! | |
| Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore By the way, you youngins’: In the early 1960’s a few of the major record labels had record clubs. I joined the Columbia Records club when I was 12 years old, and picked Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits as my first 1 cent (!) album. | |
| Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore @slaw: What was the defect in your first copy of Joshua Loves Ruth? Mine was fine. | |
