| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, speaking of Let It Be Naked, word is the upcoming reissue of All Thinks Must Pass will also be free of Spector's overdone echo & reverb. | |

| Stereo systems are like Harleys Stereos may be like Harleys, but audiophiles are not like bikers.The band I was a member of in '75 got hired by the owner of a motorcycle repair and customizing shop on El Camino Real somewhere between San Jose and San Francisco to play at a party... | |
| Biographies I am currently reading Sandra B. Tooze's biography of Levon Helm. Fan-freaking-tastic! She had previously written Muddy Waters: The Mojo Man, which I guess will be next.Robbie Robertson's Testimony is excellent, much better than I had anticipated.... | |
| What to do with a collection of sealed audiophile vinyl? MFSL Telarc Sheffield Nautilus The original MoFi Music From Big Pink (Stan Ricker mastered) is not good. The second MoFi version (MFSL 1-346) is much, much better, but is out-of-print, and worth some semi-serious money. Even the new Capitol 45 RPM double-LP edition is better th... | |
| Ringo Beaucoup of Blues @tablejockey: Don Nix is very cool. He's an Alabama boy, and a great songwriter. I have his album on Elektra Records, recorded in Muscle Shoals with The Swampers (whose members include the great drummer Roger Hawkins and bassist David Hood---his s... | |
| Ringo Beaucoup of Blues Oh, and by the way: the musicians who played on Ringo's album made a couple of albums as a Group, naming themselves Area Code 615 (Nashville's ac). | |

| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Right @rauliruegas. My point was that even if there were a "perfectly damped tonearm" (if such a thing is even possible), there will still be the cartridge/tonearm resonance that is produced by ALL cartridge/arm combinations. A poorly or non-dampe... | |
| Audio research ref 6SE vs world @redwoodaudio, isn’t it funny how Tim de Paravicini’s passing was marked with accolades from the entire hi-fi industry, yet U.S.A. audiophiles continue to ignore his excellent EAR-Yoshino pre-amps and power amps? No full page ads, no semi-annual M... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews @onhwy61: Good points. Yes, a musician is called upon to provide whatever the music being made calls for. Very, very few musicians are proficient in all styles. Guys like Steve Gadd are thin on the ground. It pains me to hear Rock drummers trying ... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy Loves You! @seanchau: Yup, Michael (45 RPM Audiophile) is a fave of mine as well. He's a hardcore audiophile with a very nice Einstein system (from front to back). His LP focus is primarily on new audiophile reissue pressings, and he has reviewed LP's from M... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews As I said, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. The notion that one opinion may "carry more weight" than another is also an opinion, one that I have found to have merit.But beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. There was a... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Here is that of Eric Clapton:"I was in absolute awe of these people (the three musicians who comprised The Dominos---Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon, and Carl Radle). And yet they made me feel on the same leve... | |
