| EAR 834 line stage I believe the 834 is now pretty old. I have the newer 868, which does not at all match the description @newbee gives of the 834. The 868 weighs 20 lbs., is very solidly constructed---including chassis mounted RCA and XLR jacks, and sounds great. | |
| Parity A related issue is the ratio of the number of LP’s in your music library vs. the number of CD’s/SACD’s, and the relative time you spend listening to each source type. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'd say metal @loomisjohnson . Rusty used a LOT of distortion, via pedals not tube over-drive. He wasn't a tradition purist. | |
| The Wilson Audio LoKe Subwoofer. All true @onhwy61. For a look at really great enclosure bracing, check out what Jim Salk does in his sub enclosures. He installs a number of different Rythmik Audio sub kits (with 12", 15" or dual-15" woofers) into enclosures of his own design and... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I finally secured the album Sweet Dreams And Quiet Desires (Avalanche Records, 1973) by the Country Rock trio Borderline, after learning of its existence from Hedley (Another Fat Bearded Man Talking About Records on YouTube), in his "Five Of The B... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @audioman74: In case you are a Jason Faulkner completist and don't know about it: Before Jellyfish, Faulkner was in a group named The Grays, who had one album on Epic Records. I heard it when it was released, but didn't like it enough to buy. Fel... | |
| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? After seeing NRBQ live a month ago, I ordered (on the band’s website) all their albums from the past ten or so years, catching up. They issued most of them on CD only, a few titles on LP. I got ’em all. If you have a chance to see NRBQ live, do i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @loomisjohnson: I’ll have to look for the Poco Live album. Deliverin’ was the last album of theirs I heard. By the way, in the early-70’s I saw them at The Fillmore (or was it Winterland?), and believe it or not the loudest guitar I’ve ever heard ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @buckroa: A fantastic album, in my all-time Top 10. But I think a fair number of people here know about it. Less well known is the debut of L.A. Power Pop band The Beat (the Paul Collins led quartet). Have you heard anything by The UK group The R... | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? Only twenty dollar hookers ;-) . All kidding aside, my ex-brother-in-law just OD’d on heroin, found dead in MacArthur Park in L.A. (yes, it’s not a made-up name in a song, it’s a real park). He’s been an addict his entire adult life, a 3-strike g... | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? Lightweight. I shoot smack while I watch a hooker service me. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @jafant: Clapton put a carton of Music From Big Pink LP's in the boot (sorry, trunk ;-) of his car, giving a copy to every friend his visited in the summer of '68. That of course included George Harrison. George and Ringo became huge fans, and Rin... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. So true @larsman. At Rockfield Edmunds was able to replicate the sound of the 1950's Sun Records Rockabilly "slap-back" sound, as well as Spectors' Wall Of Sound, using a reverb plate to simulate the echo chamber Gold Star Studios had installed un... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @lloydc: Wrong. You really shouldn't believe and then mindlessly regurgitate everything you read. When The Beatles were introduced the crowd went insane, rushing the stage and in the process knocking over all the folding chairs that filled the fl... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @larsman: Very cool! I didn’t learn of Dave until reading about him by Greg Shaw in his Bomp! Magazine, around the time Get It was released---early ’77. Another life-changing moment! I made my way back to the first and second albums, being gobsmac... |
