| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? @nicolelynn_94115: Oh man, I forgot about the FMI 80! Talk about value!! I didn’t have the 80, but I had Robert Fulton’s Model J, which employed the 80 as it’s midrange reproducer. For highs it was the RTR ESL tweeter box (containing 6 ESL tweeter... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @whart said it all! By the way, some of the MoFi LP’s made in the past 15 years WERE "cut" (the lacquer) from analog tapes (presumably a "production"/aka "safety" copy---usually 1/4" 15 IPS---of the 2/ch mix master, though some original studio ma... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Yup @bdgregory, Testimony is a surprisingly (to me) great book, probably the overall best I’ve read on The Band. I love the scene Robertson recounts, in which Dylan is listening to the test pressing of MFBP, and when "The Weight" ends he asked who... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Everybody knows about Marshall Crenshaw, but his first release was not the debut album on Warner Brothers---produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie's original producer, previously a member of The Strangeloves of "I Want Candy" renown), but rather a... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Dang Bill, I forgot you put me in contact with Jim. I have his CD The Floating Zone right here in front of me, gonna give it another spin after dinner. Terry plays clavinet on one song. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them "I don’t think there was deceit." I not only think it, I know it. There is a clip floating around on YouTube, in which one of the MoFi people is asked point blank if their mastering chain is 100% pure analog. He responds with a very unambiguous "... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @whart: Bill, If you haven't heard NRBQ, I think you might like them. Founding member/songwriter/singer/keyboardist (piano and clavichord) Terry Adams cites Sun Ra and Thelonious Monk as two major influences! A fantastic live performer, as is the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @nicks25 and @dayglow: Another big Marshall Crenshaw fan here! Have either of you seen him live? I saw him in ’82 in one of the big NYC clubs, when his brother was still drumming for him, and Graham Maby (Joe Jackson) was playing 6-string bass and... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear I just now scrolled through the whole thread, and found inspiration. A lotta great suggestions, some I had forgotten making myself. After subjecting ya’ll to my rant directly above, I thought the least I could do is make a constructive contributio... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives @kingbarbuda: "I think this narrative about Maggies not integrating with subs is a myth." One guy perpetuating this "myth" is Wendell Diller of Magnepan. In his recent introduction of a prototype dipole sub the company will soon be offering, Wende... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @soix: By the way, the woofer towers of the GT Audio system are made using the Rythmik Audio/GR Research OB/Dipole Subwoofer kit. The kit includes a pair of 12" servo-feedback woofers and the Rythmik A370 plate amp, which includes a dipole cancell... | |
| MoFi controversy @sokogear. Yup, I have quite a few Speakers Corner LP's, both Classical and Pop. SC is my second favorite reissue label. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Obscure is SUCH a subjective matter. Some people are aware of the group Television, others aren’t. Same with The Skeletons/The Morells (same core members), a fantastic band out of Springfield, Missouri, whose fans include Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, ... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Another fan of Spatial Audio and Clayton Shaw is Danny Richie of GR Research. In a recent YouTube video Danny raved about the X4 (I believe it was), recommending it to his customers who can't or don't want to build a GR Research DIY kit. He of cou... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Want to hear what a truly great sounding mastering and pressing can do for the sound of an LP? Get a copy of the Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman album in: 1: An original U.S.A. A & M Records pressing 2: An original UK "pink label" UK Islan... |
