| Best Covers @stuartk: I too love Gurf’s playing. I sometimes saw him in the Guitar Center on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, buying guitar strings. He has done some great producing other than Lucinda, including Mary Gauthier. He has also made a few nice alb... | |

| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. Thanks for the link Mark, I'm definitely gonna subscribe and watch the series. Congratulations on a job well done! I've been involved musically with some unique artists (Emitt Rhodes, Evan Johns, Pearl Harbour), and few people know the price t... | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. @markmoskow: I LOVE Larry Campbell! I saw him live when he was serving as Dylan’s guitarist, harmony singer, and band leader. After that he went to work for Levon Helm, both in recordings and the live shows in Levon’s Woodstock barn. He figures... | |
| Best Covers @stuartk: When you watch the video on Lauderdale I posted you will get the answer to your question, and much more. 😉 You may get an inkling as to why Elvis Costello, Buddy Miller, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, and many other artists (and I... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? Yeah @rauliruegas, James Boyk's Performance Recordings label LP's are mighty fine. I have 5 of them myself. | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. And Iris DeMent. She’s coming back to town in a coupla months, get to see & hear her live again. Iris was John Prine’s favorite collaborator. | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update A few weeks ago I received a letter containing info on the 10% credit I had available to use on the Music Direct website for the MoFi LP’s I chose to keep. A few days ago I received an email with a return authorization label to send MD the LP I... | |
| Tonearm resonance Get yourself a Townshend Audio Rock turntable. 😁 | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? Before the arrival of the CD each LP side was created with it's own dramatic arc, the two sides being separate entities, complete unto themselves (with the possible exception of the dreaded concept album). I thought it would be "cute" if the r... | |
| Best Covers Robert Hunter has made a couple good albums with Jim Lauderdale, a real fine Bluegrass/Hard Country singer/songwriter. | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? @dynamiclinerarity: In the mid-80’s I saw a pair of the ESS Transtatic I’s for sale in The Recycler (a weekly For Sale newspaper in SoCal), $400 for the pair. One of the B139 woofers had been replaced with an imitation (the oval frame and flat-... | |
| Laura Nyro "Eli And The Thirteenth Confessional"...Analog Spark Label One reason Mobile Fidelity has always suffered from a bad image is their choice of titles to release. Some great, others real doozies! In contrast, the reissue labels named above show consistently great taste. As does of course Chad Kassem/Ana... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? Bose 901, definitely. But JBL, Klipsch, and Cerwin Vega are good runner-ups. So suffering from what JGH named "vowel" colorations, they all make voices sound comically unnatural. I saw a lot of that horrid JBL L100 back in the 70’s, which would... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @tomic601: And in fact, the cartridge/tonearm/turntable/RIAA phono amp may be considered a single multi-piece component, the performance of each evaluated only in relation to the others. The same is true of the loudspeaker/amplifier interaction... |
