| Whats on your turntable tonight? Miles Davis: Kind Of Blue (Analogue Productions UHQR). Holy f*cking sh*t. Beauty incarnate! | |
| What traditional dynamic speakers deliver a sonic signature similar to a horn speaker? If you like the horn sound, why not just get horns? Too big for the room (or the little lady ;-) ? | |
| Will the placement of casters on speaker stands degrade the performance @twoleftears’ suggestion is a good one. Use the Herbies until you find your permanent (ha!) speaker placement, then if you want remove them and install the footers of your choice. You can try the current rage---springs---without (heh) springing fo... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Quad ESL. | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? 18 tubes in a pre-amp---yow! | |
| How to remove scotch tape brown residue from album covers I prefer Bestine---created to dissolve rubber cement---over Goo Gone. I use it to remove the glue left by the price stickers I remove from used LP covers. It doesn’t stain the cover as Goo Gone sometimes does. It's sold at art supply house (and of... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: @onhwy61: The Blasters---now we’re talkin’! I saw them live many times, including in the mid-80’s when they backed Big Joe Turner on his last appearance in L.A., at Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd.. Little Richard’s tenor sax man Lee Allen was in the... | |
| Blues for Aficionados This being an Audiophile site, I have to mention the legendary Muddy Waters' album Folk Singer. Originally on Chess Records, later reissued by Mobile Fidelity, then Classic Records, and currently Analogue Productions. Great acoustic Folk Blues mus... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Agree @stuartk. It just occurred to me that another element to remember is that The Band are actually from a generation before Petty and his guys---The Band of the 50’s, Petty of the 60’s. That was one reason Petty seemed out of place to me in The... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Excellent insights into the lyrics of J.R. Robertson, @stuartk!Speaking of the American aspect: One reason I hold The Band in much higher regard than TP & THB is because of the depth of their musical roots. Organist Garth Hudson is a profound ... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Yeah @fuzztone, and NRBQ live are just incredible. Terry Adams’ piano and clavinet playing on stage, as well as Al Anderson’s guitar playing and Joey Spampinato’s bass playing (Keith Richard’s choice as Bill Wyman’s replacement in The Stones. Joey... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report ^ Ha! ;-) | |
| what would be the best speaker cable under 1k used or new to used with the 3.6 maggies I don't know about best, but the Clear Day Double Shotgun is good with Maggies. It retailed for $500/8 ft. pair when available, but is now out-of-production. Patience is required! | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: I know when I make my own statements (as apposed to Marty making his), I should use the term "my favorite" instead of "the best". But to tell you the truth, I choose to do that for a reason: I do it when I feel to do so is the only way I can make ... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Expensive reissues? Analogue Productions single LP’s are $35. So are those from MoFi, Speaker’s Corner, Intervention Records, and many more audiophile reissue labels.Try and find a "white hot stamper" copy of Pet Sounds, Smiley Smile, or Wild Hone... |
