| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Every musician I knew had the Harvey Mandel album and followed him when he later joined Canned Heat, but I wasn't aware he had recorded with The Stones. Ry Cooder also did, and has told a very interesting story about that experience. I don't want ... | |
| Component isolation Isolation need not involve damping or lack thereof. The Townshend Audio Seismic products and the IsoAcoustic GAIA's provide isolation only. | |
| Speaker With Least Room Interaction Yet another benefit afforded by subs is that, should one elect to employ digital room correction (the DSPeaker Anti-Mode, for instance), the bass portion of the source signal can be digitized without the higher frequencies needing to be. This is e... | |
| Tune of the Day Thanks @slaw, on my list of To Buy it goes! | |
| More Cowbell For any drummer wanting a great sounding cowbell, look for the one Zildjian made for a while. Best sounding cowbell I've ever heard! Sweet, musical sound. | |
| Tune of the Day Not yet @slaw. Jim puts out albums so frequently, it’s hard to keep up with him! I assume you got the album on LP; how’s the sq? As usual, I have to choose between LP and CD; I don’t mind paying the higher price for an LP if the sq of the recordin... | |
| Is this too hot for my preamp? What should I do? You also want to separate the chassis’ from each other to prevent self-generated internal vibrations from each to pollute the sound of the others. | |
| Subwoofer location/facing question I’m sure Duke will give you some definitive info, but as an introduction, subs need to be located in a room so as to counteract that room’s high and low pressure zones (modes and anti-modes) created by the room’s wall boundaries (the room’s dimens... | |
| How many brands use own drivers? As far as I know, ALL electrostatic (many) and magnetic-planar (Magnepan, Eminent Technology) drivers are manufactured in-house. If not, each company's are made for them exclusively, unlike most speakers employing dynamic ("cone") drivers, Vanders... | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? @richopp, you don’t have the full picture. I hold no songwriter in higher regard than Brian Wilson. My first live concert was The Beach Boys in the summer of 1964, when Brian was still playing bass and singing on stage. Upon hearing the Smiley Smi... | |
| Amp "timing" ? It’s a concept held onto by Linnies (fans of the Linn Sondek turntable), now applied to even electronics. Art Dudley and Herb Reichert apply the term in their amp and pre-amp reviews in Stereophile, claiming something about the electronics effects... | |
| More Cowbell Dylan "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? It’s common for people of a certain age (teenagers in the 1970’s) to say the only alternative to "guitar bands" (is that the term for that music now?) was Disco. But as others have already said, there were plenty of other choices. Of course, if yo... | |
| Hal Blaine @rpeluso, I know, I’ve been dealing with a bad tooth ;-) . Thanks for the posting, Hal is very special to me, and very important to music. When I learned of studio musicians (in 1968 iirc), he was my first love. The amount of music recorded in Los... | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? Fulton Model J, Wilson WAMM, Infinity IRS, Stax, Beveridge, Dayton Wright, Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa, Eminent Technology LFT-6 (I’m looking for a pair). |
