| Best rock song of all times Ooh, good one @oblgny! I'll add "I'm On Fire" by The Dwight Twilley Band, "Shake Some Action" by The Flamin' Groovies, "Play That Fast Thing One More Time" by Rockpile, and "Cadillac Walk" by Moon Martin (original) or Mink DeVille (great version, ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Lots of Richard Thompson. What a unique, gifted artist! | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Both, or either, depending on frequency. Decouplers above resonance, couplers at and below. A mechanical low-pass filter. | |
| Favorite cover? Them’s version of Big Joe Williams’ "Baby Please Don’t Go", though they model their version on that of John Lee Hooker. Wicked, tough, Them make The Stones sound like the p*ssies they are.Another is The Guess Who’s (the first line-up, without Burt... | |
| Favorite cover? Oops, it was of course Gregory Peck who played Nolte's character in the original Cape Fear, not Mitchum. Haven't had any coffee yet ;-) .@roberjerman, I well remember the cover of Realization---kind of psychedelic. Everybody was trying so hard aro... | |
| Favorite cover? @roberjerman, Wow, I had no idea JR did "AWSOP". The original is a masterpiece, so I really gotta hear Johnny's version!@whipsaw, I so agree about original films vs. remakes, one exception being Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear. The added layer of ethi... | |
| Favorite cover? Dave Edmund's version of Smiley Lewis' "I Hear You Knocking". | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. Geez schubert, that’s a rather un-Christian sentiment, attitude, and posture. Don’t forget, pride and wrath are 2 of the 7 deadly sins. Repent sinner, and remember what Country folk say: Don’t get above your raisin’. | |
| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm @uberwaltz, My computer has a nasty little virus (Malware, or Adware, or something), and is wreaking havoc. I'll go to my email right now---Eric. | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. Jim, I assume the full documentary will include Emmylou, and Gram Parsons, Steve Earle, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, Commander Cody, The Byrds, Dylan, maybe even The Band---the whole Rock ’n’ Roll/Country convergence of the late-60’s/early 7... | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 @clio09, Though the OB/Dipole Sub uses the Rythmik A370 plate amp/Servo-Feedback woofer system and is sold by Brian Ding on the Rythmik website, the design is more Danny Richie's (of GR Research) baby than Brian's. Danny was already making an OB/D... | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 @clio09, Gradient also made an OB/Dipole sub for the 57. It looked a lot like the current Rythmik/GR Research, but laid on it’s side. Danny Richie says the R/GR can be so positioned as well, and used as a base for the 57. I would install a set of ... | |
| Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm Mike, when I assumed the arm was going to need to be raised via spacers, I recommended to Keith that he go to Ace Hardware and get some stainless steel washers of sufficient thickness to get the arm to the required height. If the arm base does in ... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? Al is (as always) correct about the Music Reference RM-200 having an input impedance of 30K balanced. Roger Modjeski did that for a reason, but will change that impedance to anything you want. I assume there will be a price to be paid (sonically),... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. If the band’s drummer looks familiar, it’s 'cause he’s Chad Cromwell, Neil Young’s drummer for his Prairie Wind show, also taped at The Ryman. I would have preferred they had Harry Stinson (the drummer/singer in Marty Stuart’s band The Fabulous Su... |
