| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Good example, @orpheus10. Ray is imo the most important and influential male singer of 20th Century Pop music (along with Hank Williams). Does that sound too "grand"? ;-)And I consider Big Joe Turner perhaps the first Rock 'n' Roll singer. He too ... | |
| Wall mounting on studs For anyone not having a concrete floor, and a tall enough crawl space under a suspended wood one, an old technique is to install 4 x 4 braces at the location of the table on the floor, from the bottom of the floor into the earth below. A concrete... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? @nonoise, perhaps the person making the misleading and mischaracterized accusation is assuming his voters, like himself, doesn't read. | |
| Tune of the Day Iris Dement: "Wasteland Of The Free". This was written and recorded during the Bush Presidency, but is perhaps even more relevant now. This song got her excommunicated from the Far Right Radical Evangelical community.Iris was born in Arkansas into... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Erik, looks like some didn't get the joke. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance, I bought a UK copy of The Madcap Laughs when it was originally released (even though I didn't care for Pink Floyd or Psychedelia in general). We were at that time looking for anything "weird", but this album is WAY beyond that; it's te... | |
| Are my standards too high? Brings to mind the expression my Pa used regularly: "He likes the sound of his own voice." Ignore him and he'll go away usually works, but in this case I doubt it. | |

| Wall mounting on studs Don't play "really valuable direct-to-disk LP's"? Why buy them to not listen to?! An unplayed LP has no value, musically speaking. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta And, Guttenberg mentioned the internal bracing is improved in the Meta. It's going to be interesting to see if they measure differently than the original, assuming John Atkinson gets a pair (he loves the original).I love the matte finish on the Me... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks fellers. I remember liking the sound of Harvest a lot. Neil was of course going for the Band brown album sound, as was Elton John on Tumbleweed Connection, said Bernie Taupin in an interview. Kenny Buttrey’s Sonor drums sound fantastic, he ... | |
| Tea For The Tillerman2 An artist revisiting a past work can be interesting and/or great, or the opposite. Anyone talented enough to create an original like TFTT deserves at least a listen to the new presentation. Cat may now be able to reach deeper into the album's song... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Regarding @tomic601's impression of his pressing of After The Goldrush, what is a good copy of that album to look for? How about the Harvest album? Somewhere along the line I got rid of my originals, wanna get the best sounding LP versions availab... | |
