| Has all decency left the entire planet? Dave, I had (R.I.P.) a longtime friend who, after retiring from Hewlett Packard, spent his days playing computer chess and recording himself performing J.S. Bach keyboard works on his German-made upright. Bach's music alone can take an entire life... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Damage done to the Cathedral containing the pipe organ upon which J.S. Bach performed some of his music has nothing to do with audio?! Okay, if Abbey Road Studio is vandalized, nobody dare mention it on Audiogon. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact Eminent Technology LFT-8b, $2499/pr. | |
| Intimate Live Acoustic Recordings Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Where's The Money. Recorded live at The Troubadour in 1971. Great music, great sound. | |
| Underrated album: Sonics AND Music Rumble Doll by Patti Scialfa, her debut album. Produced by Mike Campbell and Springsteen, good songs, stellar musicians (on drums Keltner, Porcaro, and Aronoff!), and Patti’s singing is really, really good. While Bruce’s albums sound terrible, thi... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? What a shame. If and when the perps are caught, their hands should be chopped off. | |
| Bi-amping Rules "The only place where biamping makes sense is with subwoofers." Siegfried Linkwitz and owners of older Magneplanars disagree. The .6 and earlier Maggies had parallel crossovers, and a simple 2-way electronic x/o can duplicate the "textbook" stock ... | |
| ACDC Back in Black. Two reasons AC/DC albums sound so good is 1- drummer Phil Rudd tunes his tubs really well, deep and "thumpy", and 2- producer Mutt Lange and his engineers really know how to get a good drum sound---fat and punchy. AC/DC is what a hard Rock band is... | |
| Transitioning options from Big Maggies True @roberjerman, but do you think the 8b will work in an 11 x 14 room? I guess they could be placed on the short wall, firing down the length. The speaker is 13" wide, and being a dipole (above 180Hz) can be placed fairly close to the side walls... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601, if you like Rock Of Ages enough, look into the 4CD/DVD boxset entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971, which is an expanded version of the recordings made those four nights. Rock Of Ages is a collection of selected highlights from th... | |

| Vinyl cleaning and alcohol I believe goofyfoot accidentally left out the word "not" between is and recommended. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yeah @slaw, that Andrew Gold album is a rarity---good music in good sound. It was one of the albums I used as material with which to audition speakers back in the 70’s.Andrew created a really remarkable album (CD only) that is unlike any I have ev... | |
| JD Souther @rpeluso, have you seen the Ronstadt documentary? Fanf*ckingtastic! I have a newfound appreciation for her. I don’t care what Costello thinks, she may be the "best" female singer of her generation.Souther had a role in the Nashville TV series, and... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio, not yet, my copy is on it’s way to me. I haven’t looked lately, but about a month ago there was a lot of chatter about the set on Steve Hoffman’s site. There are bound to be differences of opinion, and I expect to have conflicting ... |
