| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @arafiq: The part of the Townshend Audio Seismic products---all of them---that provides the majority of the isolation they afford is the Seismic Pod, which is built into the Platform, Podium, and Bars.The Pods are available separately in sets of 4... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Agreed @rvpiano, that song defines Pop. Carole and Gerry wrote a lot of fantastic songs, including the astounding "Halfway To Paradise", recorded in the 1980's by Nick Lowe, a great version. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Once a year Music Millennium in Portland (featured in one of Michael Fremer’s Analog Planet YouTube videos) has a sidewalk sale: boxes and boxes of used LP’s, priced to sell. I guess it’s done partly to make some room in their LP racks (which fill... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. @bkeske: The night before! Upon hearing the news, I for the first, last, and only time cried at the passing of a musician or singer. I'm tearing up now; I loved Richard SO much. So did Clapton. | |
| Is your heart filled with a love of music, or something else? Great story @tablejockey! If I had been at the Bar-B-Q, Harold and I would have been discussing Earl Palmer, the New Orleans drummer whom I and others credit with creating Rock ’n Roll drumming (okay, D.J. Fontana deserves some credit too ;-).I wo... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. @tomcy6: Because at the time of The Last Waltz, the plan was to take some time off, then later regroup to recommence recording. Robertson wanted to get off the record/tour/record/tour merry-go-round, which he thought was an unhealthy lifestyle. In... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. Yeah @roxy54, I think of The Band (and others like them) as the counter-Counter Culture ;-). The movement they were spearheading was definitely swimming against the tide, and was almost on a cult level. Though their albums did actually sell pretty... | |
| Most important fundamentals in your built/modded listening room? Sheetrock is well-known to be fairly resonant, behaving like a struck drumhead. Go to the website of Acoustic Sciences Corp, and check out their wall-damping and isolation products, particularly Wall Damp.I've been in a room constructed with the A... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning I did @slaw. His TINDIE.com webstore, too. No response from either. | |
| Beatles Vinyl Mono Box..do you have one? @aberyclark: The 2009 stereo LP's are made from digital copies of the master tapes. NO one needs them! | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @sokogear: I started a thread here about the Acoustic Sounds UHQR Kind Of Blue LP, and info about the panel discussion on YouTube related to that release. The video provides all the details one could want, the participants being Chad Kassem of Aco... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl Clear vinyl makes it IMPOSSIBLE to see any pressing imperfections in the LP surface, as well as scratches and scuffs, and even dust. The same is true of lighter-colored PVC, just to a lesser extent.On the other hand, the new(ish) Clarity vinyl---w... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued @au_lait: I don’t want to speak for Keith Herron, but though he will not be making any more phono amps, he may be willing to upgrade a VTPH-2 to a -2A, assuming he has the required parts in stock. He is staying in business, still making his line s... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Vince Gill nicknamed Danny Gatton ’The Humbler". When he felt his band were becoming a little too pleased with themselves he would play a Gatton CD on the tour bus sound system to put them in their place. ;-) | |
| Beatles Vinyl Mono Box..do you have one? Yep @slaw, the MoFi Beatles LP’s are not so hot. I sold all mine too, which more than paid for the mono boxset. The MoFi Beatles were done in the early days of the company, mixed and mastered by a now-deceased engineer who was a bass player and ha... |
