| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? My favorite loudspeaker finish is the same as my favorite automobile finish: hot rod black, the color 1950's hot road enthusiasts (including guitarists Jeff Beck and Danny Gatton) use on their rods. I painted the enclosures I made for my Rythmi... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If he, she, or they (a band) are "recording artists", I respect them all (even if I don't particularly care for the music they make). It is the "non-artists" I have a problem with. And sad to say, it is the latter category that dominates the mu... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? In 2016 I moved north from SoCal (Southern California for you in the rest of the U.S.A.), where there are probably more audiophiles (and hi-fi shops) than in the entire Northwest. As you travel north from San Francisco on Interstate 5, you pass... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Me as well @immatthewj and @slaw. I also saw him recently in Angel Heart (with De Niro). | |
| Removing silicone damping fluid "Mineral spirits" is also mentioned in the owners pamphlet for the Townshend Audio Rock turntable (which employs silicon damping fluid in a trough for the arm/pickup) as the fluid to use for cleanup in case of spillage. Mineral spirits is a spe... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. Here is a video of Modjeski’s seminar at the 2015 Burning Amp get together in the Bay Area. It’s an hour and a half in length, and contains a lot of Roger’s thoughts on tube amplifier design. Some humour too. https://youtu.be/io_yZENYlxY... | |
| Vinyl Me Please...well, not anymore They were dead to me when they announced the elimination of Rock and Country "tracks" from their monthly offerings. They put out some truly great albums, like those of Iris DeMent, Rodney Crowell, Marty Stuart, Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @clio09: Van Alstine used GE 5751 tubes (in place of the stock 12AX7's) in his modified Dynaco PAS pre-amp. Better than the ARC SP-3! | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. And thank YOU @clio09, for both your post and keeping the Music Reference name and products alive. Though reviews of tube amps in professional hi-fi mags commonly contain little exploration and explanation of amplifier circuit design, readi... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Two great new posts! @billstevenson: It was I who mentioned Davey Tough. He was way before my time, and played a genre of music I am unqualified to talk about. But the other members of the bands he played in sure thought very highly of him.... | |
| Vinyl Care @twangy57: You’ll "probably" take @billstevenson’s VPI HW-16 for $75? Don’t just think about it, do it! That’s one hell of a bargain. My first vacuum-style LP cleaner was a Nitty Gritty, which I found to be lacking (too many revolutions to ... | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Another one I forgot @chazz101s! I do indeed like Kelly a lot; I have seven of her albums on CD, one on LP. I used to have one Monte Warden album, and one Wagoneers album, of which he was a member. I don’t remember getting rid of them, but I do... | |
| Vinyl Care You can get a Record Doctor V vacuum LP cleaning machine from Audio Advisor for $199.37. The best two hundred bucks you’ll ever spend! Far superior to the Spin Clean. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? I inexplicably forgot two of my very favorite music making couples: Buddy & Julie Miller and Larry & Teresa Campbell. If I could listen to only one currently-active artist for the rest of my life, it would be Buddy Miller. A great singe... | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? Hmm, how deep should one go? Many on my list have been included in those of others, one reason I continue to read the Audiogon Forum. When it’s time for Classical, I usually reach for something from the Baroque era. J.S. Bach of course, but... |
