| wide baffles and baffle step @ladrillo: That's exactly what John Bau did in his Spica loudspeakers. | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's @larsman: You may already know, but Man's drummer Terry Williams was later in the UK super-group Rockpile, and is also heard on the late-70/80's solo albums of Rockpile members Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. After that he joined Dire Straits, and is ... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? For audiophiles, Fritz Reiner stands out from most of the "historical" conductors, whose recorded sound is often not the best. Reiner had the "serious" temperament of the 19th century-born Europeans, and lead the CSO in a rather "severe" manner. T... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Roger Modjeski (Music Reference, RAM Tubes) had a thread dedicated to fuses in his AudioCircle Forum. In it Modjeski disclosed what he had discovered during his investigation into some of the audiophile fuses, and how they compared to the Littlefu... | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's That debut by Blue Cheer was the first album I heard that had a "heavy" sound, Zeppelin's the second. The former contained the worst "music" I had yet heard at the time of its release (1968), but then in 1970 Black Sabbath's debut appeared. Every... | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? This topic always reminds me of the great scene in the movie Diner, with the husband berating the wife for misfiling a record she listened to while he was out. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? Fritz Reiner for some things, Leonard Bernstein and Adrian Boult for others. @mahler123: Is Georg Solti ineligible? Most of my fave Baroque conductors are still active. | |
| Favorite religious song Off the top of my head (there are hundreds more): - Brian Wilson: "God Only Knows" - Iris Dement: "God May Forgive You (But I Won't)" - Ry Cooder (Traditional): "Jesus On The Mainline" - Julie Miller: "Broken Things" - Julie & Buddy Mille... | |
| Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy Too bad I'll be dead by then. ;-( | |
| How do you arrange the order of your records? This topic comes up here fairly regularly. Over the years of amassing LP’s (and/or CD’s), everyone finds what works for them. As long as you can find what you want, it doesn’t matter, does it? Unless you want your arrangement to make a statement a... | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage Find a copy of Holst The Planets with Sir Adrian Boult conducting The New Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus (EMI ASD 2301). If your system doesn't reproduce the astonishingly-deep soundstage captured by EMI's engineers, you need a better system.... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. @edcyn: I loved living in that end of Burbank. I walked my dogs over to the Bob Hope Park everyday and let them sniff around awhile. You know The Safari Inn on West Olive? Lucinda Williams stayed there while recording one of her 2000’s albums. Di... | |
| Anyone know the weight limit for a 4x4 Kallax with undeframe? Right @tonyptony, but you’re looking at the single-cubicle model; the 4-cubicle model diagram shows an internal height and width of 12-5/8" (1/8" shy of 12-3/4"), but mine are just shy of 12-3/4" (like 12-11/16"). The 2-cubicle EKET has the same i... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. Rock drummers like to tout their Jazz-influenced chops (basically knowing the rudiments), but Mitch Mitchell actually put his to good use (saw him live twice). A current guy doing the same is Steve Gadd. Earl Palmer is best-known as the drummer o... | |
| Anyone know the weight limit for a 4x4 Kallax with undeframe? Actually, the EKET's internal height is 12-3/4", as is the width of each cubicle. The depth is 13". I have a fair number of boxsets, which fit in the EKET just fine. The only ones too tall for it are the MoFi 1-Steps and Analogue Productions UHQR'... |
