| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Fantastic @tomcy6, just the info I was looking for! I missed that issue of Mojo, a mag I love and for years had a subscription to.As for "unnecessarily gratuitous self indulgent", I don’t know what that means (as least as it is in this context app... | |
| No recommending Solid Tech Audio Racks That's the racks I have, @stereo5---three of the original Italian-made Solid Steel 4-shelf Model 44. The rack itself is acceptable (the four corner pillars hollow, sand/lead shot fillable), but the shelves are just 3/4" formica-covered MDF---ugh. ... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Yup, ya’ll are of course correct, it WAS Giles Martin, not Dhani. I didn’t pay much attention to those two reissues, so didn’t absorb that info deeply enough to recall it.And I myself haven’t heard about Dhani being involved in the All Things Must... | |
| John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band hit the road! That's about it for me too, Steve. Iris Dement at The Aladdin Theater last year was $40, drinks $10, I think. Music and alcohol go hand-in-hand. ;-) | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Just for the record (no, you know, pun intended): I have no interest in nor see the need for the past remixes Dhani did of Beatle albums (Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road), first and primarily because I'm not that fond of those two albums (a minority opini... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Yeah @tomcy6, Whitlock strays off topic a lot in their videos, and CoCo reins him back in. He has a lot of stories to tell, all the videos a lot of fun. Unlike a lot of musicians from the late-60's and early-70's who have foggy memories of that ti... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Yeah, @tablejockey, mono is the way to go on their albums up through and including Wild Honey, though the Surfer Girl album is a lone exception---the original stereo mix was real good.The same is true of The Beatles up until the white album (thoug... | |
| John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band hit the road! I admit to being spoiled as a kid. I saw The Beatles for $4.50, and Cream, Hendrix, Albert King, The Kinks, Elton John, the doors, Procol Harum, The Electric Flag, Big Brother, The Beach Boys, and hundreds of others for $3.00-3.50. And The Airplan... | |
| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. Oh no, the 50th Anniversary All Things Must Pass is FAR different from the original---any and all previous issues, analog or digital. Info about the 50th Anniversary is all over the internet, for those who really want to know what it’s about. Lots... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued The VTPH-2 faceplate was also available in a cool graphite color, sort of a very light charcoal. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Added today:- Ry Cooder: Paradise And Lunch (Reprise original). $7.00.- Seatrain: The Marblehead Messenger (German pressing). The followup to their classic s/t album, with George Martin again producing. $7.00.- Mary Chapin Carpenter: Hometown Girl... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters I would love to hear from Audiogon member @folkfreak about his integration of the Townshend Tweeter with his Magico loudspeakers, which I heard when he was still in Portland, Oregon. Magico might be viewed as one of the least likely speakers needi... | |
| What are some good sources for buying new LPs and CDs The only one not yet mentioned is The InGroove in Phoenix, Arizona. I haven't tried them yet, but some of the Vinyl Community guys on YouTube recommend them.All my Discog buys have been acceptable, but those sellers don't use the great mailing car... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Though I have fond memories of the ARC SP-3 I bought new in 1973, it's sound is definitely of the old-school tube sound of the 1950's and 60's---on the soft and warm side. I doubt restoring one changes that.A few over-looked tube pre-amps:My pal B... | |
| No recommending Solid Tech Audio Racks To combine two of the above postings/recommendations:The Core Audio racks are constructed of beautiful Baltic Birch ply for their entire structure; I believe Core also offer individual BB shelves (if they don’t, others do. Alternatively, you may b... |
