| Using SUBWOOFERS internal crossover... All subwoofer plate amps contain cheap OP amps, IC's, and other garbage parts in their high-pass filters. Use the low-pass filter on your sub(s), and a separate high-quality high-pass x/o (Pass, First Watt, Bryston, Marchand, etc.) on the loudspea... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- A strong 2nd on "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", sung by the magnificent Darlene Love, produced by the madman Phil Spector. Written by the powerhouse team of Spector/Greenwich/Berry. Intense, dramatic, and exhilarating! Tension & release a... | |
| Holiday Music Challenge In San Jose California we had The Chocolate Watchband (three albums on Tower Records, home of early Pink Floyd), Stained Glass (two albums on Capitol), People (two on Capitol), The Syndicate Of Sound (one album on Bell Records), The Count Five (on... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? For removing price stickers from LP covers, I've long been using a product named Bestine, which is sold in art supply house (like Michael's). It is formulated to dissolve rubber cement and other glues, and does so without discoloring or otherwise ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back atcha @tomic601! Everything’s cool with me; got my booster shot yesterday. My arm’s only a little sore, a small price to pay ;-) . I also put in all my holiday sale orders for LP’s (mostly) and CD’s (a few). New West Records, Compass Records... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent: One problem with the Pet Sounds album is that the multi-track is not a very good recording to begin with; a good pressing can’t cure that, only not make it worse. Brian had only 4-track machines to work with at that time, and did a lot ... | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii If you're not in a great hurry, wait for a used Herron phono stage to come up for sale. Put the money away and make it easily accessible, and when you see a VTPH-2A offered pounce on it immediately. They go quick! | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard "I’ll Never Get Out Of This World Alive". Written by Hank Williams and recorded in June of ’52. Six months later he was dead. | |
| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Good observation about the NYD’s, @edcyn (The Sex Pistols also sucked live). When I was living in NYC in 1982 I saw Jerry Nolan’s pink Ludwig drumset in a pawn shop. Guess he needed a quick fix. @larsman: Seeing The Beatles live was not about act... | |
| Dustcover Blues So what we have here is a perfect example of knowledge and facts (compliments of atmasphere) vs. ignorance and alternative "facts" (untruths). | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Revisiting this thread (which I came to late four years ago), and reading every entry, I see a bunch of my all-time favorites: "God Only Knows", "The Weight", and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale". A few I don’t see (though I may have missed them) are: -... | |
| Tune of the Day For those of you discovering Emitt’s debut, here’s another you gotta hear: Sincerely by The Dwight Twilley Band. Another Power Pop masterpiece by a remarkable trio: Dwight on songwriting, piano, rhythm guitar, and vocals, Phil Seymour on drums and... | |
| What song have you played the most? Can’t leave out "Like A Rolling Stone". It’s easy to over-look, until one hears it again. I just did, and it still sends shivers up my spine and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Definitely in the All-Time Top 10 songs imo. | |
| Tube Line Stage around $5k If you can find a used one, the EAR-Yoshino 868PL (phono and line). Designed and manufactured by the brilliant Tim de Paravicini. | |
| Sounds like a hot stamper! Jackpot Records, Willie Nelson, "....and then I wrote" Well @jbhiller, it was actually Fahey who released it ;-) . T Bone was signed to the label by well known producer Denny Bruce (Fahey himself, Leo Kottke, The Fab T-Birds, The Blasters). Oddly, he is listed as the album’s "director". It’s a real g... |
