| Whats on your turntable tonight? Exactly @slaw. I haven’t heard the first Section album (the only one I’ve heard and owned) since the 70’s; who knows, perhaps I would like it now. On the other hand, what I look for in music is pretty specific. I call my taste in music narrow and ... | |
| Two Turntables? Why For fun. It's like having two cars, or two girlfriends.Or in the case of the owner of any iteration of the Townshend Rock turntable, a second table for an arm that cannot be used with the Rock, like a linear tracker. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc Hey @tomic601, good one! That I filed Musselwhite's d-2-d LP (Times Are Gettin' Tougher Than Tough) not in my "audiophile" section, but rather in with the "normal" LP's, proves that I value it not just for sound but for music as well. I found a co... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Kiln House by Fleetwood Mac. My favorite FM album, by my fave FM line-up. It displays their love of 1950's Rock 'n' Roll, my favorite era. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc Geez guys, I said many d-2-d’s are tepid, not all of them! That’s why I was willing to pay $75 for a Mint copy of For Duke, the most I've ever spent on an LP. In the not tepid column I would include many of the Classical titles. Classical musician... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Not just for James Taylor @slaw, but also Jackson Browne, Carole King, and other L.A. singer/songwriters. Carole was the piano player in James’ band until Tapestry went to number 1! It stayed there for about a year, iirc.The Immediate Family is Le... | |
| Tune of the Day I may have mentioned it before, but "Essense" by Lucinda Williams bears repeating. My God, what a song (I just listened to it three times in a row). On the album of the same title, which is full of great songs and vocal performances. Great musical... | |
| Any Yep Roc Records Fans ? New on Yep Rock is a recording by Los Straitjackets produced by Nick Lowe, a reworking of "Venus" by Shocking Blue. LS bassist Pete Curry and I were playing together in The Hillbilly Soul Surfers in the mid-90’s when he got the call to join them. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hank Williams: "No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive." Were truer words ever spoken?@tomic601, I've been watching all of Leland Sklar's YouTube videos, including those regarding The Immediate Family. Though I... | |

| Speaker popularity Some phono amps and the phono stage of some pre-amps invert the polarity of the signal from the pickup they are fed, others don’t. Some recordings contain music whose absolute polarity has been reversed in the recording process, others don’t. Some... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc One reason many d-2-d LP’s are so musically tepid is the musicians’ fear of making a mistake, which requires scrapping the lacquer and starting anew. The cost of doing that runs into thousands of dollars. That’s why Sax and Mayorga used the best s... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc A couple weeks back I proselytized, in the thread entitled "Why no interest in reel-to-reel if you’re looking for the ultimate sound?", that Doug Sax had proven in the early-1970’s that a direct-to-disc LP afforded higher sound quality than any ta... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? That’s the one, @spiritofradio. The song is "Taurian Matador". I would provide a link if I weren’t such a computer ’tard. Maybe someone can point me to a computer primer that will show me how. Until then, just search Leland Sklar on YouTube, and h... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @l_damon, speaking of Cobham, bassist Leland Sklar has a YouTube channel on which he posts a video everyday, playing along with songs he was the bassist on. The song today is a from a Cobham album (I forget the title), and the song---and the drumm... |
