| Drum throne suggestions I have a backrest for my Rok-n-Soc, but one has to be sitting very upright for it to be of any use. One thing it IS good for is preventing one from falling backwards off the throne at the end of a long night of drinking while drumming ;-) . | |
| The sonic rightness of a mono system. I long ago learned that I prefer music reproduced by drivers having large radiating surfaces (ESL’s, magnetic-planars) rather than comparatively-small direct radiators (domes, 3"-5" cones), and that I prefer line-sources to point-sources. Small dr... | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? A point that should be made is isolation is the long-term path to higher ultimate sound quality, "tuning" limited to short-term gains, but ultimately a ceiling, or dead end. | |
| The sonic rightness of a mono system. IMO, a better analogy than black & white photography to mono sound is black & white film, which I myself great prefer to color (for a glorious example, see The Coen Brother's "The Man Who Wasn't There"). Mono recordings must be reproduced ... | |
| HAIL TO THE KING..GINGER BAKER In the Playboy Poll George Harrison was voted a better sitar player than Ravi Shankar. Tells you more about Playboy's readers than anything else. | |
| Active isolation; what can it do for music reproduction? Fantastic, thanks Mike. I need to rob a bank. | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Mike (we're all on a first name basis, right? ;-), I would love to hear your findings in regard to active isolation. I saw and heard a Herzan (under Audiogon member folkfreak's EAR-Yoshino table), and am sold on extreme degrees of isolation. Not m... | |

| HAIL TO THE KING..GINGER BAKER Buddy Rich called Ginger a "clown". But then he didn’t like many other drummers, or musicians in general.I like Keith Moon’s answer to an interviewer who asked him if he could play in the Buddy Rich Big Band. "No", he replied, "and Buddy couldn’t ... | |
| Most annoying post period Any and all by kenjit. | |
| Tube amp forethought Thanks @clio09, I'll do that. | |
| Tube amp forethought @clio09, though I have yet to bring my old Quads up here from SoCal, I couldn't resist the near mint RM-10 Mk.2 that has been listed here on Audiogon for a coupla weeks. As the Quads don't need (and in fact can't withstand) more than what the amp ... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! Plastic Bertrand: "Ca plane pour moi." | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. Yeah Ed, Chris must have left The Byrds soon after that show, starting The Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram. The last Byrds album I bothered to listen to was the double untitled, which had only one good song---"Chestnut Mare." I then wrote them o... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. I’m green with envy, @edcyn! I somehow managed to miss The Byrds with Clarence up in NorCal. I’ve been to The Troubadour many times (once on it’s stage), that would have been a great place to see and hear he and they. I have mixed feelings about t... |
