| FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner? Plus, I’m really sold on higher-frequency ultrasonic operation (say, 80kHz and higher) for it’s smaller cavitation bubbles, which get further into the groove than does a 40kHz-produced bubble. The Degritter runs at 120kHz, the HumminGuru at 40k. O... | |
| Black Friday Record Store Day Haul @mofimadness: Agree about McKee! Sort of her generation’s Linda Ronstadt, a very powerful singer. Really cute, too. ;-) I saw Lone Justice live when the debut was released (at The Roxy Theater on Sunset), and she was also great on stage. Did you k... | |
| Black Friday Record Store Day Haul @thepigdog: Wow, thanks a million! I'll send you a PM to arrange---Eric. | |
| FINALLY-a cheapskates US cleaner? I’ve been following the development of the HumminGuru all year, and recent tests of the production model (seen in three videos I’ve watched) aren’t entirely convincing. It doesn’t appear to have the cleaning power of the Degritter, or even a DIY U... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? There is a YouTube video in which a pianist sits at his keyboard, explaining and demonstrating the "bones" (chord progression, modulations---aka key changes, melody, counterpoint) of "God Only Knows" as he leads you through the musical constructio... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? @stuartk: Amen, brother! Rubber Soul and Revolver are much better. | |
| Doge 8 Clarity: 12AT7 replacement for phono stage Or call RAM Tube Works! Roger Modjeski is gone, but there are some of his graded-for-noise small signal tubes still available. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? One of my favorite things about Pet Sounds is how the album ends: with the far-away sound of a train running down the tracks, a dog barking in response. Brilliant! So evocative, so nostalgic, so sentimental. The album’s theme is all about becoming... | |
| Black Friday Record Store Day Haul I went back and picked up the Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry's pianist, this album produced by Keith Richards, with NRBQ members playing on the album), Leonard Cohen, and various artists Americana Railroad titles. The Little Feat was sold out, gotta... | |
| New In 2021 @slaw: It's funny---both Chrissie and Lucinda have new Dylan song albums out. I'm picking up Lucinda's on Sunday, to add to the Dylan albums I already have by Maria Muldaur and Joan Osborne. | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw: Good to see you giving The Rubinoos their due. Do you also have their Back To The Drawing Board album? It contains a fantastic song entitled "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", very high energy Power Pop (with a great guitar solo by Tommy Dunbar).... | |
| Anyone Get a Degritter for Xmas? @jgreen19: The Vinyl Storage Solutions outer sleeves are fantastic, aren’t they? I recently put all my LP’s in various models of Michael’s sleeves: 2mil resealable double pocket with 2mil multi-purpose on gatefold covers, two 2mil resealable doubl... | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? Why are REL’s so often given credit for providing the sound quality improvement to a system that all good subs provide, as if there are two classes of subs: REL’s, and all others? REL’s are not that unique, there ARE other subs that are great at r... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Geronimo by Shannon McNally, produced by Charlie Sexton. Though she has albums dating back to 2002, Shannon is new to me, this being the first album of her's I've heard. Though her very strong voice is quite different from Lucinda's (less "unique"... | |
