| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? The most efficient and effective means of absorbing and dissipating cartridge mechanical energy is via employment of a damping trough (containing viscous fluid) located at the front end of the arm, as found in the series of Townshend Audio Rock tu... | |
| One man Band Somewhat unknown is John Fogerty's first solo album, put out under the pseudonym The Blue Ridge Rangers. The album fits the op's requirements in that Fogerty plays all the instruments and sings all the parts, but fails in regard to songwriting. Th... | |
| Blues for Aficionados Has anyone mentioned The Best Of Little Walter Volumes 1 & 2 on Chess Records? | |
| One man Band This is an easy one: Emitt Rhodes 1970 s/t debut on Dunhill Records. There is a documentary about Emitt entitled The One Man Beatles. I actually think he was (RIP) better than they. | |
| My Experience With Tekton @tomic601: Good point JIm. In one of his Burning Amp talks, Modjeski said EAR-Yoshino's Tim de Paravicini (as with Modjeski, recently departed) claimed he could tell how a tube amp sounds by looking at the transformer(s).Let me point out that a 4 ... | |
| A CHEAP AND VERY EFFECTIVE RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION. @whart: Oops, thanks for the correction Bill. I’ve been reading the writings of both Neil and Rushton, and conflated the two. I also made it through the complete record cleaning thread on the VPI forum, where a lot of info on the ultrasonic cavita... | |
| What 3 recordings from different genres do you and your wife/partner appreciate equally? Not recordings, but artists: Dave Edmunds (Rock ’n’ Roll), Marshall Crenshaw & The Plimsouls (Power Pop), Iris Dement (Singer-Songwriter/Bluegrass), Steve Earle (badass Country). Oops, that’s four genres and five artists. | |
| Blues for Aficionados One long-time favorite is the debut album by Lou Ann Barton entitled Old Enough, released in 1982 on Asylum Records. Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Sheffield, Alabama, produced by Jerry Wexler (Aretha, Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett, Dy... | |
| A CHEAP AND VERY EFFECTIVE RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION. In the very comprehensive tome Rushton Paul wrote (and @whart published), he makes the case for Alconox Liquinox. For lowering water surface tension (both in and out of ultrasonic cleaners), he explains why Tergitol 15-S-9 (made by Talas) is a goo... | |
| Tune of the Day Mary informed us that she wrote a book during the lockdown. She organized her set by reading a passage from the book that chronicled the impetus for a given song, followed by her performing the song. Wonderful. Lots of humor in her repartee, too. ... | |
| Tune of the Day Dang Steve, I'm green with envy! Mary Gauthier was just wonderful last night. My introduction to Mary was her 2002 album Mercy Now, which was produced by Lucinda's original guitarist/bandleader/producer, Gurf Morlix. As I anticipated, Mary was ban... | |
| Tube Amp recommendations to drive Klipsch Forte III Music Reference RM-10 Mk.2. | |
| Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line. Roger Modjeski never once advertised in Stereophile, yet his RM-200 amplifier has been in the Class A Tube category for twenty years (it's Fremer's reference "affordable" tube amp). AND, since Roger's passing a few years ago has not been available... | |
| Which Subwoofer Jim Salk offers Rythmik Subs both incorporated into some of his loudspeakers and as stand-alone subs. He takes the F15HP DIY kit (as well as the F12) and installs it in an enclosure of his own design and build, and it is incredible! It is an extre... | |
| Tune of the Day I think I've mentioned this song before, but it deserves a second recommendation: "West" by Lucinda Williams. The most deeply and romantically melancholy song I've ever heard. Also great, subtle drumming by Jim Keltner, with the best use of a bass... |
