| Tune of the Day Julie Miller with Buddy Miller: "When You Go Down". From Buddy and Julie's Lockdown Album, digital streaming only, but I heard the song on YouTube. The object of Julie's ire will become apparent when you watch the video. | |
| Using SUBWOOFERS internal crossover... @rbertalotto, I believe the m7-hp is for use with the Vandersteen amps and Model 7 loudspeakers, themselves rather expensive. Richard for years offered a much simpler and cheaper version for use with his Model 2 loudspeakers and subs. That version... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Great one @cd318! I have "Johnny Angel" on a 7" 45 (one of my first), and again fall in love with Shelley every time I hear it. From roughly the same time---and also performed on the TV show he was appearing in at the time of it’s release---is "Y... | |

| Black Friday Record Store Day Haul Last year I went and stood in line at Music Millennium at five in the morning. A week later they still had stock on most titles. This year I didn’t go in until early afternoon, and there were still a lot of copies of all titles save one: the Chri... | |
| Using SUBWOOFERS internal crossover... All subwoofer plate amps contain cheap OP amps, IC's, and other garbage parts in their high-pass filters. Use the low-pass filter on your sub(s), and a separate high-quality high-pass x/o (Pass, First Watt, Bryston, Marchand, etc.) on the loudspea... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- A strong 2nd on "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", sung by the magnificent Darlene Love, produced by the madman Phil Spector. Written by the powerhouse team of Spector/Greenwich/Berry. Intense, dramatic, and exhilarating! Tension & release a... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? For removing price stickers from LP covers, I've long been using a product named Bestine, which is sold in art supply house (like Michael's). It is formulated to dissolve rubber cement and other glues, and does so without discoloring or otherwise ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back atcha @tomic601! Everything’s cool with me; got my booster shot yesterday. My arm’s only a little sore, a small price to pay ;-) . I also put in all my holiday sale orders for LP’s (mostly) and CD’s (a few). New West Records, Compass Records... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent: One problem with the Pet Sounds album is that the multi-track is not a very good recording to begin with; a good pressing can’t cure that, only not make it worse. Brian had only 4-track machines to work with at that time, and did a lot ... | |
