| EAR founder has cancer @petg60: Alas, Tim passed away in December of 2020. Those of us who own one (or more) of his amps and/or pre-amps consider ourselves fortunate. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Being on the older side, I have a lot to choose from. Like many who have owned the QUAD ESL, they are number one. Then there is the unique Townshend Audio Rock Turntable, mine being the Elite/Mk.2 version. Mated to it is another keeper, the Zeta... | |
| Favorite religious song If you are old enough to remember the 1960's San Jose Group named People, you may recall they had a hit single with their recording of The Zombies song "I Love You". People had two lead singers, one of them named Larry Norman. After leaving People... | |
| New In 2022 @jafant: 8 CD’s?! Those musta been a coupla damn long concerts (the original 2-LP album is drawn from two live shows) Little Feat played! I’ll be looking for this boxset, thanks. The evolution of this band is interesting to me. Lowell George was ... | |
| Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets. ’’’...filter out most all of the jitter at the speaker terminals"? What exactly do you mean by "jitter"? Jitter from where and from what? | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers To answer the OP's question very literally, there is one sub which is VERY different from ALL other subs: The Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subwoofer, a joint effort between Danny Richie of GR Research and Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio. Different how, y... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo Good observation, @audition_audio. Just one of the things that makes the RM-200 as unique as it is. And he gets 100 watts out of a pair of KT-88’s not by driving them hard (which of course shortens their life, something Modjeski was very much oppo... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Oh @larsman, you’re quite right about PH not sounding "just like" any of the other English Blues-based bands; they couldn’t with Gary Brooker singing! My feeling is that they became "just another" English Blues-based band. Perhaps too fine a disti... | |
| Today By the way, I saw The Dead live only once: in The Panhandle in Golden Gate Park, Summer of '67. Also appearing that day were The Airplane and Country Joe & The Fish, all performing on a large flatbed truck parked on the lawn in the park. Food ... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo Andy, Roger Modjeski designed his Music Reference RM-200 tube amp specifically to deal with low-impedance loudspeakers. When they occasionally become available on the used market, they fetch around $2,000 for the original version, a grand more for... | |
| Today Surrealistic Pillow was playing on the turntable just as I was "taking off" on my last trip. ;-) My favorite Dead song is "Friend Of The Devil", which I have performed live on stage. | |
| Best progressive rock album side @larsman: Procol Harum’s first three albums include the contributions and influences of organist Matthew Fisher, whose musical education greatly informed the groups music (his organ part in "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" is well-known to have been coppe... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? This first time I heard height reproduced through a hi-fi system was when I played Boult's recording of Holst's The Planets (EMI ASD 2301) on a Thorens TD-125 Mk.2/SME 3009/Decca Blue pickup turntable, feeding pair of Magneplanar Tympani T-I's bi-... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Has anyone already nominated Procol Harum's "In Held Twas In I", the 5-piece suite filling almost all of side 2 of their Shine On Brightly album? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? I may have already nominated one or more of these, but they're worth repeating: - "No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive". Hank Williams didn't have to wait long; he died at only 29 years of age. - "How can ... |
