| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Though American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead were radical departures from the music The Dead had been making prior to those two albums, if one knew about Garcia’s early involvement in Folk and Bluegrass music during his formative years (I love tho... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Well Dylan fanatics, the Clinton Heylin book, The Double Life of Bob Dylan; A Restless, Hungry Feeling 1941-1966, is finally on the shelves at Barnes & Noble. Or at least it was (I bought the only copy) at my local branch. And it shouldn't hav... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes The design of the Townshend Pod was clearly explained in detail here quite a while ago, several times. I was contacted privately in regard to my postings on them by several members, who also posted about them. All the while the new convert ignored... | |
| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? Love Dick Olsher. I still have a pair of the LX5 he mentions in his article. They're great for rear channel surround sound use! | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes @noromance and @slaw speak the truth. Though they aren’t the type to loudly take credit for discovering spring isolation, a search for their contributions on that subject will be rewarding. As will a search for postings related to the Townshend Au... | |

| Favorite audiophile-quality cover bands ... The only one I’m aware of is the album on Telarc by the Beach Boys/Jan & Dean tribute/cover band named Papa Doo Run Run. They are from my hometown of Cupertino, California, and their original drummer---Jim Shippey---was a coupla years ahead of... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Ha! I quite agree @tgilb. But I DID kinda misuse the term "old" in the original post. People took that as meaning old as in LP's originally released years ago, so the request for clarification as to what qualifies as old is justified. I actually m... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @slaw, you question has made me realize that I did not make my qualifier of "old" LP’s for the thread clear in not just definition, but also intent.We all buy basically three "kinds" of LP’s:1- New releases in still-sealed shrink wrap (or the thic... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Damn @slaw, my copy of Lucinda's s/t Rough Trade LP shows light through it as well! I had never noticed that before.I have her Good Souls Better Angels album in the limited edition translucent/frosty white vinyl pressing. The hype sticker reads "N... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Thanks @sryeager. I guess I’ll get a cheap tank to use until the Vibrato is back in production. Vevor makes a 6L that runs at 50kHz, priced at only $118 including shipping.Since I don’t care about the drying function built into the Degritter (I wo... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @slaw: I use the term in reference to used records, not the music itself.But your question is an interesting one. In a recent Daily Audiophilic Show, Steve Guttenberg asked his guest---a dealer in vintage hi-fi equipment---his definition of vintag... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thanks for the title @reubent, I’m definitely going to look for a copy. He was one of the new guys all the young singer/songwriters I knew back then were talking about and listening to. I don’t remember Pete being as Rock ’n’ Roll at Dwight and To... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Well fellas, I have some good news, and I have some bad news.Last night I emailed the Vinyl Stack people, asking if the out-of-stock single-disc hand-held model would again be available at some point in the future. I figured it would be cool to ha... |
