| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @skyscraper: Nice to use real names Mike ;-) . The first time I heard Bloomfield was the same as for most people: on the 1965 Paul Butterfield Blues Band debut album on Elektra Records. That was the first exposure to real Blues (as opposed to the... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them ericsch: I believe Bernie Grundman mastered the 2017 version. Fremer might know the answer to your question. | |
| Personality Type? You couldn’t keep your eyes off Keith Moon, regardless of where on stage he was. Clem Burke has obviously watched and listened to Keith a LOT. He is seen in the video of The Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" (love it!), but not heard on the recordin... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I agree @larsman. My invitation for other Audiogon to voice THEIR opinion does not conflict with that position. | |
| Component placement for open baffles? That's about how I do my planars too @coralkong. Speakers 5' from the front wall, equipment racks about a foot away from the wall, their front edges about 2.5' behind the speakers. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Okay members, on one side we have Roger Waters, Graham Nash, Ringo Starr and George Harrison (both big fans), Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, The Staples, Muddy Maters, Dr. John, Jim Keltner, Elton John and Bernie Taupin (Bernie says Tumblewe... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Agreed. I wince when I hear the term record collector. I’m not collecting anything, I’m amassing a music library (my entire adult life), for listening to. And to then refer to record collecting as a hobby only makes it worse! When I started buyin... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge He had a dealer/distributor in San Francisco for quite a few years. I don't remember his name, but a Google search may bring it up. | |
| Component placement for open baffles? You're SO right about scale @hleeid. After experiencing big planars, box enclosure speakers sound like the whole soundstage has been miniaturized and squeezed through two little holes in the wall. Huge grand pianos sound like a child's doll house ... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Yep @sokogear, you HAVE fallen hard for Steely Dan! Those who buy all the upcoming UHQR's are going to have a fair chunk o' change invested in that group. I sold my MoFi collection of The Beatles albums when the mono boxset came out, as those MoF... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives If a low input impedance in the power amp is the problem, there are four tube pre-amps which will drive a load as low as even 600 ohms: two from Atma-Sphere, and two from EAR-Yoshino. EAR's Tim de Paravicini did a lot of work in recording studios,... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @sokogear: In the world of rare LP collecting, $3-400 is not at all uncommon. Original 1950’s Blue Notes in Near Mint condition now sell for more than that, and even more rare records into four figures. I myself don’t swim in those deep waters, an... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tgilb: Yes! Once again, thank God for Chad Kassem (and mastering engineer Kevin Gray). Who but Chad would think to reissue the entire 1962-67 Capitol Records Beach Boys catalog (stopping before Wild Honey, for some reason). I have six different ... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @skyscraper: I saw The Band live only once, at The Berkeley Community Theater on the tour in support of the s/t ("brown") album. I sent for the lottery tickets Bill Graham was selling for the Dylan/Band Before The Flood tour in ’74, but missed out... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Damn, John retiring is very bad news. Those of us who already own the utterly unique London and Decca pickups are going to have a hard time finding someone else to service them. I better give him a call! As for acquiring a Reference: don't hold y... |
