| 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... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued Correct @lewm. 4 x 12AX7 = 44dB, 2 x 12AX7 + 2 x 12AT7 = 42dB.When Frank Van Alstine was installing his own circuit into the Dynaco PAS 2 & 3 pre-amps (in the 1980’s), he was using 5751 tubes in place of the stock 12AX7’s. The 5751 provides so... | |
| Beatles Vinyl Mono Box..do you have one? I have original UK Parlophone stereo LP’s, and the mono box. The early stereos are silly---vocals and instruments panned hard left and hard right (sounds like our political environment ;-). The Beatles and George Martin put all their energy into c... | |
| Transcendent T16 OTL amp - bias question (& general tips) Too bad Roger Modjeski (Music Reference, RAM Tube Works) is no longer with us. He had worked on a couple of Transcenent OTL amps, and had even come up with fixes for their "problems".I don't know if he can help, but I would give Tom Carione at Bro... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued I contacted Keith about acquiring a VTPH-1mm, long after it had been superseded by the VTPH-2. My research on the phono amp had informed me that most of the improvements introduced in the VTPH-2 were to it's mc section, which is of no significance... | |
| Audiophile LP cover of Good Vibrations The Papa Doo Run Run version is an instrumental? I doubt it: they are a vocal group. Admittedly, I've never heard the album, but I’ve seen them perform the song live, and not as an instrumental. | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. @onhwy61: No disrespect taken! Roger Hawkins is one of my three favorite drummers, about who Jim Keltner says he wishes he played more like. Don’t we all!. I have studied the drumming of Hawkins for years, and benefited greatly from his musical wi... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. @sgreg1: Can’t disagree with ya, mate! I had tuned out contemporary Rock ’n’ Roll by the time Born To Run was released, but all the noise about that album sparked my curiosity. I got the LP, and found it to echo (no pun intended ;-) Shakespeare: A... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Ya'll are my kinda people! Well, except for @clearthinker and @ebm ;-) . | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. A lot of fair points, and I fully expected to see @onhwy61’s argument made. Sweetheart Of The Rodeo was big in my small circle of friends (my senior year band included a coupla songs from that album in our repertoire, as well as some Buffalo Sprin... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. Speaking of the influence the brown album had on The Band's contemporaries:I went to my local Barnes & Noble this afternoon to return the copy of the new John Hiatt/Jerry Douglas LP I received in the mail yesterday. Even before opening the fli... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. The brown album contains more of what we think of as The Band "sound" and style. I complete understand preferring it to MFBP (I myself did for years), but the point of this thread is to celebrate the impact MFBP had on the musical community in 196... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Mike Clifford: "I’m So Close To Cathy". I can picture my then-girlfriend and I slow dancing to this song in 1963 or 4. If you remember this song, you are old! | |
| Best best ballads that refer to a US State - Asleep At The Wheel: "Miles And Miles Of Texas".- Dave Edmunds: "Deep In The Heart Of Texas".Neither the original of each song, but the first ones I heard.- Lyle Lovett: "That's Right (You're Not From Texas)". |
