| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. My semi-weekly trip to my two neighborhood (withing a 10 minute drive) used record shops proved fruitful yesterday.Found at store no.1 (where I’ve seen nothing worse than VG+ LP’s):- Dean Martin: Dream With Dean (Reprise Records, stereo), $6. I kn... | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? I'm finally seeing and hearing Mary Gauthier live next Friday, at Doug Fir Lounge in Portland. May as well hit Music Millennium while I'm in the neighborhood, pick up some new releases. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601: Thanks Jim, it’s on my list to buy. I got her first two after seeing Steve give her a thumbs up. Now I’m curious about her mom Libby Titus!BTW, Mary Gauthier is on the road, coming through Portland next Friday. My ticket’s waiting at wi... | |
| What are your top three live concerts of all time? I just recalled seeing and hearing Van Dyke Parks and his small orchestra in the concert room located in McCabe's Guitar Shop on Santa Monica Blvd. A once-in-a-lifetime experience! One of the musical geniuses of our lifetimes.Then there was hearin... | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question Exactly @lowrider57, the info in the dead wax gets one only so far. That info tells you nothing about when in a stampers lifespan the LP was made.It was Chad Kassem and his team who made the startling discovery that all pressings of Cat Stevens’ T... | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question @lowrider57: The pertinent number is how many LP’s are pressed by each stamper. With each LP pressed, a stamper becomes a little more "worn". White hot stamper LP’s are those records made when a new stamper has been installed in the pressing machi... | |
| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do Max Townshend's original Seismic product (the Seismic Sink) was an inner tube (or two, or three, depending on load rating) between two metal plates. For years I used them, only replacing most of them when Max introduced the Seismic Pod. I had trie... | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question Classic Records redid the Zeppelin catalog in the early-2000's, and those pressings are now worth a fortune (Classic even made them available as single-sided 45RPM LP's!). Why? Because they sound better than the originals, all of them. Hardcore co... | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? Modjeski provided this kind of great technical information in all the threads in his Music Reference section of the AudioCircle Forum (though dormant, that section is still available for viewing). Several years ago I pointed Audiogoner’s to the ex... | |

| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS @tomic601: Years ago Danny designed a 2 cu.ft. (I believe) sealed sub enclosure employing double walls, with the chamber between the two filled with sand. I designed my 4 cu.ft. sub enclosures for the Rythmik F15HP DIY Kit using that same idea (wi... | |
| Is today’s contemporary music lacking? @stuartk: Oh yeah, I get No Depression emails several times a week. I also have a complete collection of the printed version of the mag, which I have been reading since it's inception in the 1990's. That title is taken from Uncle Tupelo's debut al... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? Yes @coltrane1, The Band are too subtle for some listeners. They were for me, it taking me a year of listening to finally "get" Music From Big Pink. Perhaps you need to listen to them some more, or perhaps you, like some musicians I know, will nev... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS @rixthetrick: I take it you live in Texas. Have you visited Danny Richie at his GR Research facility, located in Iowa Park? He welcomes visitors, and will demo his loudspeaker models for you. He sells his designs as kits (only), so they aren't for... | |
| Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts Absolutely @gpgr4blu. Hal Blaine was my first favorite studio drummer, once I learned there was such a thing. I left out Jim Keltner, considering him an obvious member of the musical drummer fraternity. His playing on Randy Newman's early albums r... |
