| Is Magnepan is coming out with it's own amplifier Yeah, that Forum can be viewed two different ways. One is pretty straightforward (choose "Classic" view), the other (something to the effect of "Show all info') a real mess. | |
| Speaker engineering and design Speak of the Devil. Ignorance is bliss. | |
| Best songs to test speakers "Me And Bobby McGee" by Gordon Lightfoot. When Walter Davies (my first hi end dealer, later known for his Last Record Care products) played the LP track for Bill Johnson and I in 1973, Bill’s response was: "That is a great sounding recording." Gor... | |
| Is Magnepan is coming out with it's own amplifier Sort of. It is an amp made for them, which they will market and distribute for use with their loudspeakers. The amp has been discussed on the Planar Speaker Asylum site, info provided by amongst others a great fella and contributor named Josh, Wen... | |

| Speaker engineering and design What with that inane nitwit starting numerous threads in which he spreads disinformation and ludicrous opinions on the subject of loudspeaker design, I thought it appropriate to bring to the attention of all ya'll @jaytor's link from last year to ... | |
| EAR founder has cancer You are so right @tomic601, the Water Lily recordings are as good as recordings get. Tim de Paravicini designed and built the tube electronics in Kav Alexander’s analog tape recorder and microphones.When Ry Cooder, a man VERY serious about the ton... | |
| Tune of the Day "I’m Gonna Be Strong" by Buddy Miller, on his Cruel Moon album. "IGBS" was written by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil (fantastic Brill Building writers, with hundreds of recorded songs), originally recorded by Gene Pitney (Cyndi Lauper has also reco... | |
| EAR founder has cancer Damn, Roger Modjeski, now Tim. Guys like these aren't replaceable. | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER And for those who heed @jsauterr's excellent recommendation, then give Ruth Brown and Lavern Baker a listen. For a modern, white version (but not "white" sounding) of old school R & B singing, try Lou Ann Barton. Her Old Enough album, produced... | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? Evan Johns (three albums on Rykodisc, a bunch of others on assorted labels) was legendary not only for his guitar playing (amazing), songwriting, and singing, but his drinking. When I went to Atlanta for a week in the late-90's to record an album ... | |
| Quad ESLs - I have some questions Talk to Kent at Electrostatic Solutions in Kansas City, MO. | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? As to old Rockers, Welshman Dace Edmunds understands Rock ’n Roll as few do. A listen to his incredible 1970 re-imagining of the old Smiley Lewis Blues "I Hear You Knocking" will explain it all.Lots of Rockers think the music is about the release ... | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? The first live music I saw and heard (apart form my first concert in the Summer of ’64: The Beach Boys at The San Jose Civic Auditorium, with Brian Wilson still playing bass and singing lots of falsetto parts) was in the wake of the British Invasi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cool @tomic601. Hurd's a great songwriter, one of his recorded by Junior Brown, one ("If You Play With My Mind You're Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty") by The Skeletons. Hurd's guitarist Paul Skelton (just a coincidence ;-) and I moved to L.A. together... |
