| Tune of the Day I could nominate any number of songs on the album to which I am currently listening, Buddy Miller’s Your Love And Other Lies. At the moment "Watching Amy Dance" is playing, so I’ll go with it. Fanf*ckingtastic! A great song, superior musicianship ... | |
| Artists out of the mainstream or currently en vogue Yes @slaw, Mary definitely qualifies as being out of the mainstream. One of her albums was produced by the aforementioned Buddy Miller (to whom I am at this very moment listening), another by Gurf Morlix, guitarist/harmony singer/bandleader/produc... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. One has to work his way up to Coltrane. Start with maybe Charlie Parker, and once Coltrane had been assimilated, give Ornette Coleman a listen. Wild, baby! | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? So now there is no objective reality, only subjective preferences? J. Gordon Holt was right about the direction Hi-Fi was taking, and is rolling over in his grave.For anyone yearning for some truth/facts about loudspeaker design, all you have to d... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, Springfield Missouri, hometown of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, is also home to another great group, some of whose members were in and out of both bands.Guitarist D. (Don) Clinton Thompson, drummers Bobby Lloyd Hicks and Ron Gremp, and key... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Damn @slaw, you're musical taste is like looking in a mirror ;-) .Lucinda's band on World Without Tears is one of the best I've ever seen/heard live. Drummer Jim Christie is just astoundingly great (though of course not in Neil Peart's league ;-);... | |
| Artists out of the mainstream or currently en vogue Just about all my faves are "out of the mainstream", to one degree or another.Welshman Dave Edmunds recently announced his retirement (he is now 75 years old), and was for many years my favorite Rock ’n’ Roll guitarist, and producer (Rockpile---hi... | |
| Curious about the difference in what I’d hear on different tonearms @noromance, good suggestion in the Audiomods. But whereas the earlier versions of company's arms did indeed use a Rega-sourced armtube (the only part of the arm related to Rega), the latest/greatest Audiomods arm (Series Six) is 100% Rega-free, th... | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER Lots of great nominees here. This past Christmas I re-established that my no.1 all-time greatest single performance is "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love. But that performance reminds me of the earlier "Maybe" by Arlene Smith (as ... | |
| Pick my next tonearm....PLEASE Oh, and for less than $1500 you can get a new Audiomods or Trans-Fi Terminator arm. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs The EAR pre-amps are unaffected by the input impedances of power amps, as their balanced/XLR outputs are transformer-coupled. Tim deParavicini is known for the quality of his transformers. | |
| Pick my next tonearm....PLEASE Kuzma Stogi (or Stogi Ref if you get real lucky), Helius Omega. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs Ear-Yoshino 868 (reviewed in Positive Feedback and Enjoy The Music) and 912 (review by Art Dudley in Stereophile). | |
| Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story Ah @onhwy61, when not to play. Related is the axiom of "The notes you don't play are as important as those you do." I've seen that quote attributed to Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Miles Davis. Whomever said it first, I'm sure they are concurre... | |
| New Vinyl The reason the Electric Recording Co. LP’s sellout, even though priced at $350, is because original pressings are selling for ten times that amount. The titles being released are very, very rare, and very much desired by collectors. Hence the pric... |
