| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection The last time I saw Bob live was in the early-2000's, at The Pantages Theater (a great Deco-style building) on Hollywood Blvd. That night he was fantastic, and looking like he was actually enjoying himself. He was even taking guitar solos, Larry C... | |
| Mono Recommendations In the Buffalo Springfield boxset, Neil Young includes the first and second albums in both mono and stereo, the third in stereo only. Procol Harum's debut album was released in mono only in the UK, reprocessed imitation-stereo in the U.S. The U.S... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report - Something Peculiar by Julianna Raye. Delightful Pop, produced by Jeff Lynne. - The Grays: s/t. Interesting later Beatle-esque style music (circa 1967), group members included Jason Faulkner (later of Jellyfish) and Jon Brion (who went on to do ... | |
| Best double live vinyl? @voodoolounge: Big Pink IS close, in West Saugerties, where Woodstock was actually held. Another good dbl live: Little Feat's Waiting For Columbus. My early pressing has the 1/4-2/3 LP side arrangement, my later pressing (with bar code on the bac... | |
| Mono Recommendations Early Dylan (pre-'69) is better in mono, as are The Beatles, Kinks, Yardbirds, and pre-Sunflower Beach Boys. For Jazz, the Prestige and Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder recordings. | |
| American Made Audio Products "magneplaner" doesn’t make it’s own drivers. Magnepan does though, for its Magneplanar loudspeakers. If one wishes to give a U.S.A. company props, getting the company and product name correct, spelling them correctly, and using an upper case lette... | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker Not "just" flatter frequency response (so that’s now a bad thing? ;-), but also improved spectral decay (aka waterfall plot) response, phase coherency between drivers, lower baffle panel and enclosure resonance (Linkwitz specified un-braced .75" M... | |

| Are Music Reference amps still available new? @clio09: Will you be offering RM-10 MkII-to-MkIII conversions to current MkII owners? | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Damn @jafant, 60 years! I was a little too young to like (or even know about) Dylan in '62, not learning of him 'til on the radio hearing "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", and then not being able to relate to it at all. That song was of course on th... | |
| I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers A VTPH-2A appeared on USAM a day or two ago at a price of $2900, and sold in a matter of hours. Guess whose it was? Hint: his location was listed as a city in northern Washington State. ;-) | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions What, no love for Tekton? ;-) | |
| What is Tight Bass? Tight bass is very simply: when the signal stops, so does the woofer (in fact, the entire loudspeaker). To not "stop on a dime" is to produce "overhang". In the world of loudspeaker design, there is the concept of "critically" damped woofers, as w... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? The term "ribbon" is commonly misused. The Infinity EMIM and EMIT drivers are not ribbon drivers; as noted above "EMI" denotes Electro Magnetic Induction, the "M" and "T" midrange and tweeter respectively. Magnepan’s are often referred to as ribb... | |
| New In 2022 Joan Osborne: Radio Waves, a collection of live performances done at radio stations. Do a search on YouTube for her and her band's smokin' hot version of "Shake Your Hips". Incendiary! |
