| Nicks or McVie..... By the way: Many years later Keltner, Tutt, and Scheff also appear on Elvis Costello's King Of America album, to my taste his best. | |
| Tune of the Day Thanks @slaw and @tubegb, that LP is now in my search for notebook.Now here's one for ya'll: Nick Lowe is of course a member of Little Village, and in 1980 was a member of another super-group, Rockpile. I consider the lone Rockpile album (though t... | |
| Cost of state of the art? Ya can't please 'em all. ;-) | |
| Audio companies or boutique labels for good SQ LPs? @mglik: Just be aware---I don't think Better Recrods can provide you with a White Hot Stamper LP of anything on Audioquest, Vandersteen, or Water Lily.The A Meeting By The River not only features excellent recorded sound quality (the label's owner... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) @kennyc: Actually, we are in agreement. My post in this thread did not mention "vinyl", but rather "vinyls". In another thread I addressed the issue of the difference between the singular and plural usage of the term vinyl in relation to LP’s, and... | |
| Nicks or McVie..... Just today I learned the musicians who appear on the 1973 Buckingham Nicks album include Jim Keltner and Ron Tutt on drums and Jerry Scheff on bass. Damn it, another album I must now acquire. | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: A quote attributed to many master Jazz musicians---Miles Davis, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington to name just three---goes "The Notes you don't play are as important as those you do." I consider that essential musical wisdom.I've been watching Jack... | |
| Next step in Turntable The HW-19 Mk.2 has a floating subchassis composed of a bottom layer of steel top with a 1/2" split-slab of acrylic (the split between the larger piece onto which the platter bearing is bolted, onto the smaller the tonearm), and a 1" Delrin platter... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Let’s just think of (U.S.A.) Americans and Canadians as North Americans. ;-) . I would argue that in some ways Americans from the North (or at least non-South) have more in common with Canadians than they do with Southerners.Levon Helm---born and ... | |
| Which subwoofer? @lewinskih01;By jove, I think you have it! 18" woofers have gained favour amongst OB enthusiasts because of their higher max-SPL characteristics in comparison to smaller woofers (and 15" for the same reason). Open baffle woofer design results in l... | |
| Next step in Turntable @unreceivedogma: Now get yourself the VPI SAMA (Stand Alone Motor), and you’ll be set! And if you can find a TNT-3/4 platter (a bottom section of 7/8" aluminum with a plate of cork-covered lead inserted into it’s bottom side, topped with a 5/8" la... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? Magnepan owners (and others) think very highly of that company’s current ribbon tweeter, used in the MG3.7i, 20.7, and 30.7. The long-discontinued Tympani T-IV and T-IVa also used an earlier incarnation of basically the same driver.The Townshend A... | |
| Free in-home testing? Rythmik: Returns allowed for 45 days, but customer pays return shipping, which on a hundred lb. sub is not inconsiderable. I have never heard of Rythmik deducting for fingerprints on the enclosure though. ;-) | |
| Audio companies or boutique labels for good SQ LPs? Audioquest, Vandersteen, and Water Lily (get the album A Meeting By The River, guitar by Ry Cooder). You mention Sheffield: have you ever heard a direct-to-disc LP? Find one, any one!Back in the 1970’s FMI (Fulton Musical Industries) produced some... | |
| recording to Reel to Reel directly from "preamp out" For best SQ, it's better to plug the source component directly into the reel-to-reel if and when possible (if your integrated contains your RIAA phono stage, obviously not). Not convenient, but if you don't do it often not that big a deal. |
