| what's the point? It’s true. That’s why you should go to Guitar Center and buy the Crown amplifier with as many wattsperchannel as you can afford. That way you’ll have an amp that never clips. Use the money you saved by not buying an "expensive" amplifier (anything... | |
| Top ten American composers/songwriters @pgaulke60, Willie Dixon wasn't forgotten (see 04/04 at 5:50 AM), Good call on Big Bill Broonzy, and let's add Leadbelly and Mississippi John Hurt (a huge influence of Lucinda Williams and Peter Case). | |
| How do you sort your LPs? From best to worst. ;-)I’m curious fellas: why the organization by genre? I suppose if you have a hankerin’ for some Blues (or any other style) it would be handy. I did it that way when I was 17, but then I got a Mose Allison album. Jazz, or Blues... | |
| Top ten American composers/songwriters Oops, left out Lucinda Williams, Marshall Crenshaw, Dwight Twilley, Jordan/Wilson (The Flamin' Groovies), Difford & Tillbrook (Squeeze), Nick Lowe. And Johnny Cash, fer cryin' out loud! | |
| The Eagles Greatest Hits - Question I bought an Eagles collection on CD for my sister-in-law. It was a "gold" disc, and iirc it was on DCC, mastered by Steve Hoffman. | |
| Top ten American composers/songwriters A lot of the greats already listed. I’ll add Brian Wilson, Chuck Berry, Dave Bartholomew, Pomus/Shuman, Leiber/Stoller, Willie Dixon, Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Randy Newman, Jackson Browne, Iris Dement, John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell,... | |
| Turntable Mats: Rubber, Felt or Cork. VPI’s used to make platters with a top layer of Delrin. The Aries 1, TNT-3, and TNT-4 had 3/8" of Delrin over 7/8" lead-lined aluminum, the TNT-5 7/8" Delrin over 5/8" stainless steel. | |
| Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul" After "MMF" plays, let You Tube take you to more Dylan. "Desolation Row" will soon be heard, and if you aren't stunned silent by what you hear, he is wasting his time on you, and you on he. | |
| John Prine hospitalized with COVID-19 I saw Iris Dement, a close friend and collaborator of John’s (check You Tube), live earlier this month. As they say, we will not soon see his kind again. Hope he, like Jackson Browne, survives. Musicians are dime-a-dozen, songwriters a rare breed. | |
| John Prine I’m listening to "Murder Most Foul" as I read this, and I’m feeling that it’s just about all over. Good luck, you younger fellas. If you let You Tube dictate what follows ’MMF", "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" will follow immediately. If you’re no... | |
| Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul" SO many great lines, this one’s gonna take many hearings. It seems to me to be a bookend to "Not Dark Yet". It just pours out of him. Ginsberg immediately recognized his genius. I can’t imagine what it would be like had he not been born. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Tall line source designs. Maybe the Sanders ESL. Diffusion on the wall behind the speakers. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ah Chris, it is an RM-9 you have, not a 10. I guess I forgot ;-). I had a talk with Roger about which to use with the ESL, a conversation I can share at another point in time. Onto the Decca/London!:My first Decca was a Blue, and I, like Colloms a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Agreed 100% Chris. Except (;-):1- The Decca/London sound is SO different, and unique unto itself. No other pickup I’ve heard makes LP’s sound so alive, so much like live music, and that is true regardless of the arm it’s mounted on, the amount of ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Couldn’t resist Kevin ;-) . By the way, after you've become acclimated to the Spatials, give Danny Richie at GR Research a call. He's very familiar with them, and has done some measuring and x/o evaluation, etc. He might have some info on them you... |
