| 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... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby @mashif: Fantastic, thank you SOOO much! I read No Depression for years (I have a complete collection of the original---pre-online---run of the mag, but I obviously need to catch up with their current issues). For those who read the article... | |
| Are You a Swifty? I have an old (in both senses of the word) friend who was bewildered when he in the late-70’s learned of my love for ABBA. Rock music snobs have always looked down upon Pop music. Jazz snobs look down upon Rock music, Classical snobs look down ... | |
| Laura Nyro "Eli And The Thirteenth Confessional"...Analog Spark Label Another great reissue label is Speakers Corner (German). | |
| Are You a Swifty? I think Dylan chooses to sing as he does. His Nashville Skyline album proves he doesn't have to. | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby Wow, staying on Audiogon is paying off. 😊 I’ll get Blue Heron Suite and Build Me Up From Bones, and take it from there. I’ve seen Sarah’s name mentioned numerous times over the years, but just never connected with her. Now if I could get peopl... |
