| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? @helomech: If you want to hear a Maggie with midbass punch, try to find a pair of the 3-panel Tympani models. Harry Pearson mated the two bass panels from a Tympani with the m/t panels from the Infinity IRS to create his own "super speaker". The ... | |
| One guitar, or three? @onhwy61: Yeah, many Soul bands---who commonly have great rhythm guitarists, a thing very different from a lead guitarist (John Lennon was a fair rhythm guitarist, Don Everly a great one)---and, especially, Country Bands---who commonly have at lea... | |
| One guitar, or three? @edcyn: LOVE the Marquee Moon album! I never managed to see Television live (damnit), but Verlaine's and Lloyd's 2-guitar interplay is a good as most trio of guitarists! It's funny they were lumped in with the other NYC bands who played at CBGB, w... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: I put the EU pressing of Little Village (which I learned of from you) on my To Get list, but have yet to do so. Say, your mention of a Vinyl Flat carbon fiber heating bag is the first I've heard of that. I need to investigate the matter! W... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Yeah @lewn, Classic Records---though starting out strong---ended up wimpering across the finish line, their last few years marred by bad pressings. Owner Michael Hobson blames that partially on the move to 200g discs. 200g? Why?! Good news: Chad... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Right you are @audioguy85. I was long mystified by Harry Pearson including the original UK Island pressing of Tea For The Tillerman (which I for years owned) in his Super Disc list, a recommendation parroted by Michael Fremer. I heard something se... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Where was the Coltrane LP pressed? Yes, there are bad new LP pressings, so consumers have to be discerning. You don’t buy a McDonalds hamburger expecting it to taste good, do you? ;-) For a great Coltrane pressing look for the reissue of his Lush... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Isn't the Vinyl Flat a God-send? One less thing to be concerned about when when searching for hard-to-find LP's! | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! My first record store job was in 1970-1, and let me tell ya, we had to return a LOT of defective new release LP’s that year, whole batches of them. LP pressing quality has ALWAYS been an issue. That’s one reason I and others started buying import ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @adrobitko: Yep, but that is what I and others have been talking about. Your post reads "My problem with new the pressings are quality" (you obviously meant to say ...with the new pressings....), implying all new pressings are of the same quality.... | |
| Dipole speakers, subwoofers and that rear wall Sound travels at approximately one foot per millisecond. For two sounds to appear unrelated, they must be separated in time a minimum of 10 milliseconds (it’s a function of how our brain perceives and processes sound). For that reason it is recomm... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Today I listened to a CD I bought on Discogs, He Walks Through Walls by Julie Miller. Julie is now a major artist---along with her husband/partner Buddy Miller, producer, singer, guitarist, and band leader for Emmylou Harris---in the Americana mus... | |
| The price of used LP's. @sns: Having traded in some LP’s at the shops I patronize, I know how they can afford to sell them for $3-$10: they pay only $1-$3 for trade-ins! Vinyl Community member Norman Maslov ("Mazzy") posted a new YouTube video yesterday talking about hi... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @big_greg: The first Rock 'n' Roll colored vinyl album I saw and bought (in 1970!) was Dave Mason's great debut album, Alone Together (recorded by the legendary Al Schmitt.). Accompanying Dave are the all-star cast of Leon Russell, Chris Ethridge ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Excellent post @big_greg! I too have no use for or interest in colored vinyl LP's. Seems like something made for girls, or little kids The first ones I had were in the mid-50's---translucent red kiddie records, 10" iirc, or maybe the more common ... |
