| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck It's a popular myth that "all" vinyl is being cut from digital masters. I say myth because it's simply not true. Anyone who has been in a professional recording studio lately knows that. I recently recorded in the same studio in Portland Oregon in... | |
| Think fast: What would you take? If only California, Oregon, and Washington had taken the advice of the wise one and raked the forest floors, over half of which is federally managed. He no doubt would love to see the tapes Putin has on him burning ;-) . | |
| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck My problem is finding the $ to pay for all the new music I want on LP ;-) . As others have said, there is currently a LOT of great new music being made. Expecting to hear it on TV or most commercial radio is not realistic. If we can find the good ... | |
| Think fast: What would you take? Excellent @nonoise.John Lennon: "Just give me some truth, all I want is the truth."The sky here in Southern Washington State remains amber. I've always wondered what Earth would look like if a very large asteroid made it through the atmosphere. We... | |
| Main Audiogon site barely works? I too can access the Forums but not the Items For Sale section. It's been that way for a few days now. | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker I’ve learned that a lot of Audiogoner’s aren’t much interested in DIY, but Linkwitz owners have already built the OB frames for their loudspeakers. Still, assembling crossovers is a more demanding task that glueing and painting an MDF flat pack.Th... | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker Excellent @clio09! Linkwitz loudspeaker owners should jump on that. | |
| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck Back in the late 1960's, "underground" radio broadcasting appeared on the FM dial, offering music lovers an alternative to Top 40 AM radio. College radio is now a source of good radio programming; in Portland Oregon there are good Classical and Ja... | |
| Think fast: What would you take? If push came to shove, I would certainly box up my LP's and CD's before the hi-fi. Hi-fi can be replaced, 50 years of LP's and 30 of CD's impossible. | |
| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck @guitarsam and anyone else looking for real songs sung by real singers and played by real musicians, you're looking in the wrong place. There is a whole scene happening on an underground/cult level, called Americana. The label New West Records has... | |
| Think fast: What would you take? I just walked outside, and the smell of burning wood was in the air here in Vancouver, WA, just across the Columbia River from Portland. I still have a bunch of drums in storage down in Palm Desert, but there's nothing there that will burn. Just d... | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker Orion and LX521.4 owners are sophisticated enough to have knowledge of all the following, but for others:There are a few well known benefits to be had by using an outboard active line-level crossover in place of a passive speaker-level one. A main... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Ay carumba! The rear output of a dipole sub (or woofer, or any driver, in fact) being in polarity opposite to that of the front is inherent in all dipole woofers. The reason for that is obvious.The rear wave coming back to the woofer after it boun... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, I’m doing some catching up, and here’s some responses to a couple of your posts on this thread:- The Zeta arm. I think of it as the hi-fi equivalent of the Chevy big block V8 engine ;-). Available for under a grand (the last one I got---NM ... | |
| Thorens TD 124 or TD 125 MK. I bought a new TD-125 MK.2 in 1973. Mechanically it was fine for the time, but I had a lot of problems with it's electronics. It was in the authorized service center numerous times, the problem never eradicated. They should have just replaced the ... |
