| Whats on your turntable tonight? Damn @slaw, you been drinkin'? ;-)Loudon's Older Than My Old Man Now is in stock at my local (well, Portland) record shop, I'm picking it up tomorrow. I just received his new one (I'd Rather Lead A Band, with Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks), ... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. No love for Machina Dynamica? ;-) | |
| Fantasy Quintet - Who is on your deserted island? Shoot, I'm taking all dames: Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement, Patty Loveless, Lucinda Williams, Lou Ann Barton. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. The Peter Belt (PWB Electronics) "products" are laughably ridiculous. | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ At the time Bill Johnson was starting his Audio Research Corporation (1970), his reference loudspeaker was doubled pairs of the KLH 9 Full range ESL (two 9’s per side). High-sensitivity loudspeakers were very available at the time (I heard the ARC... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. @cd318, in one version of "Revolution" Lennon sings "out", pauses briefly, then sings "in". That was the expression of his mixed feelings on the subject.I love Jackson Browne’s songwriting and singing, but when he became overtly political his musi... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. @simao, sending a Cease & Desist may to some degree just be a gesture, to insure everyone knows the artist does not share the politician's views. On the other hand, if the letter is ignored the artist and/or song copyright owner is entitled to... | |
| Gerry Marsden has passed I loved how high Gerry wore his guitar, above his waist, way up on his chest. The Pacemakers made a sound like no other British Invasion band: acoustic piano and a drummer with Jazz influences. For whatever reason, they didn’t make the transition ... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ I have yet to hear the OB speakers Danny Richie offers in his various GR Research kits, but they are pretty darn sensitive (mid-to-high 90's) and are reportedly very transparent, natural at timbre reproduction, and dynamic as well. As soon as soci... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. So, do people listen to, say, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, John Mellencamp, and a great number of other artists I could name, and consider the political element in their lyrics off limits on Audiogon? Kinda sil... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ The SoundLab ESL's are considered by some to be one of the best sounding line of loudspeakers available. They are also notoriously insensitive, and a very demanding load for a power amplifier They are also extremely transparent, and about as good ... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k The entire industry showered praises on the talents of Tim de Paravicini and the quality of his EAR-Yoshino designs when he passed recently, yet his pre-amps (and power amps) continue to be ignored by audiophiles. That mystifies me. Art Dudley lov... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. The point of this thread is NOT about how any here (including I) "feel" about the issue, but rather first about the YouTube video Norman Maslov posted, and secondly about the artists who did not want their music used for political purposes. And th... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? Yeah @tweak1, I have three sets of MD Springs: two sets of the smaller, one set of the big ones. I got them for use where I don’t have room for the taller Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, which I have been using for a couple of years now: under two t... | |
| Interesting development @tvad, that's a result of his taste in beverages: Kool-Aid ;-) . |
