Rodney Crowell One of the handful of my favorite contemporary songwriters, singers, and all-around music makers. I’ve seen & heard Rodney in the flesh only once, in the 00’s at The Roxy in Hollywood. He was touring with "only" a guitarist (longtime sideman S... | |
Disco...yep, I'm going there For me, a good tune is a good tune, no matter the style it is performed in. There were songs considered Disco that I loved ("Funkytown", "Disco Inferno", "Dancing Queen"---Bjorn & Benny were as good of Pop songwriters as were Lennon & McCa... | |
Designing new room With the Quads, the ceiling is not as much of a concern as it is with point source loudspeakers. But the front wall (behind the speakers) is more so. Diffusion! | |
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb? Music sounds better in the dark. No sights to distract the mind from it's primary function, to process sound. | |
Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c You couldn’t find two loudspeakers that sound more different from each other as do those two! If it was two chicks, one would be an extroverted party girl in a miniskirt, fishnet stockings, and ruby red lipstick, the other a quiet girl with glasse... | |
Death of Rock 'n' Roll @fleschler, I understanding your being bored by what the music biz is currently pushing as Country music, but there is a thriving underground of real Country you may not be aware of. It is a community of songwriters, singers, and musicians playing... | |

Oregon Audiophiles... I've performing in the taverns, bars, and small theaters around town (and on the coast), where entertainers get drink tickets. My taste runs to the "dry", so I've been trying out the IPA's. I like 'em, but still prefer German and Netherland beers. | |
Phono Pre Impedance Matching- Herron VTPH -2A or Manley Chinook And for anyone needing only enough gain for a high output cartridge, Keith says most of the improvement in the VTPH-2 over the VTPH-1 was in the moving coil section of the -2. He sometimes has a traded-in VTPH-1mm available, which is how I got min... | |
Which songs/albums take you back to college? Along with those mentioned by @tostadosunidos, I would add The Flying Burrito Bothers’ Gilded Palace Of Sin, Louisiana Man by Doug Kershaw, A Salty Dog by Procol Harum, Lost In The Ozone by Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, Where’s The ... | |
Oregon Audiophiles... Mike, I'm amazed the degree to which microbrewery brands dominate the beer market up here in the northwest. I can't find Grolsch beer anywhere! | |
Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there? Yeah @celander, AES File 48 specifies: - Pin 1 = ground- Pin 2 = non-inverted signal- Pin 3 = inverted signalIn Europe, Pin 2 and Pin 3 are the reverse. | |
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Excellent prof! Degritter is proving to be a very conscientious group of fellas. | |
Oregon Audiophiles... Thanks Mike, I hope to be able to make it to the next meeting. Are the members beer drinkers, or wine drinkers? ;-) ---Eric. | |
Is there an affordable long run XLR preamp to amp cable out there? Guitar Center stocks the Mogami Gold balanced cables (with Neutrik XLR jacks) in a lot of different lengths, 3ft. to 50ft ($39.95 to $109.95). A 25 footer is $69.95. That microphone cable is the standard in recording studios. |
