| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Awesome Steve! I have "Green Onions" as my phone ringer. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. @recluse: have you heard Mary Gauthier, Iris Dement, Lucinda Williams, or Julie Miller? There are dozens more like them, but they're not on radio or TV. You have to dig to find them. Check out the No Depression website and/or print zine. | |
| Absolute Polarity Switch Another factor is that many (in fact most) loudspeakers have driver(s) in polarity opposite of other driver(s). Wilsons, for one. Not Vandersteens and most ESL’s, though some Maggies do.I spoke with Clark Johnsen at a CES in the 90's (or was it a ... | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? I forgot to mention: For their "30.7 For Condo's" concept speaker, Magnepan chose to use OB/Dipole subs for bass frequencies, in place of the huge separate planar bass panels of the 30.7. Each of their OB subs contains six (I believe) small woofer... | |
| Women In Vinyl There a few gals who are members of The Vinyl Community posting videos on YouTube, covering varying aspects of LP acquisition and ownership, as well as the music they contain. The Omaha Introvert is a particular favorite of mine, as one of her fav... | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? @mijostyn: I couldn’t agree more about the wisdom of feeding a loudspeaker a high pass-filtered signal when used with a sub, for a few reasons. Can you imagine not putting a high pass filter on the midrange driver in a 3-way loudspeaker?! Taking t... | |
| What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm? Lenco tables are very popular with Decca/London pickup fanatics. I see no reason why the Triplanar wouldn’t be a good mate for any of them. All pickups benefit from an arm with a very stiff tube and rattle-free bearings, but none so much as the Lo... | |
| Pedal steel @dodgealum: Tell your guitar-playing friend to give a listen to Danny Gatton (mentioned by another poster above). In-cre-di-ble! Vince Gill---a mighty fine player himself---nicknamed him The Humbler ;-) . A guitarist’s guitarist. Jerry Garcia has ... | |
| Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust! ^ Do you mean Stylast? | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. This afternoon I dropped off a few bag of clothes at my local Goodwill, and decided to see what was in the store's coupla record racks. I had looked a few times before, and saw only the usual Mantovani, Jerry Vale, Jim Nabors, and other assorted s... | |
| All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow I wish the out-takes/unreleased material would be offered separately. I doubt it will be---that material is part of what is selling the 5 and 8-LP boxsets, and the expanded CD boxset. | |
| Pedal steel Sneaky Pete was the pedal steel player in The Flying Burrito Brothers.The guy playing the great ps part in Commander Cody’s "Hot Rod Lincoln" was The West Virginia Creeper, whose drinking got in the way of his career (Cody fired him, replacing him... | |
| Is today’s contemporary music lacking? Good songwriting (chord progressions, melodies and harmonies, and lyrics) may be found in the Americana genre. Americana is basically Pop music performed in "roots" style. A number of the songwriters responsible for your favorite songs from the 60... | |
| Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust! $50 for a wad of sticky goo "not expensive"? Only in Audiophile land. And "finally"? The Onzow Zerodust has been available for many years.A cheaper alternative is the RTOM Moongel drumhead damping pads, $7.25 for a 6-pk. Put five on your drumset, ... | |
| What Good Songs Can You Mention? Was "good" a Freudian slip? ;-)"God Only Knows" (music by Brian Wilson, lyrics Tony Asher)."With God On Our Side" and "Property Of Jesus" (music and lyrics by Robert Zimmerman). |
