| 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). | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? I had long ago stopped paying attention to Rock music when sometime in the mid-70's I read an interview with Brian Wilson in the great Phonograph Record Magazine (reviewers included Greg Shaw of Bomp Records, Ken Barnes, Lester Bangs, John Mendels... | |
| Speaker With Least Room Interaction Well @samgar2, both Ivan and Duke are right. So, do you want the least amount of bass eigenmodes ("standing waves" at the frequencies related to the room dimensions) possible? If so, you want an OB/Dipole woofer/sub (which does not create modes in... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion @whart said it all.By the way Bill, The Record Collector in Hollywood was the best Classical music LP store I’ve ever been in. Domestic, import, the owner had it all, and was an expert in the music. The best non-Classical was Village Music in Mill... | |
| Tune of the Day Something I neglected to mention about Jim Lauderdale, something that might break down any resistance some have to listening to someone as Country as Jim (I realize a fair number of Rockers have an aversion to the genre):When I saw Lucinda William... | |
| The best music in 2018 Hey schubert, do you miss as much as I the critiques of Classical music in the now-defunct Fanfare Magazine? I learned a lot about the music and its performance in those reviews. | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Yup @slaw, in fact I also picked up an Aries 1, which incorporates a lot of improvements over the HW-19. Separate heavy motor pod, no suspension (an ideal candidate for the Townshend Pods---in the works), 2" thick MDF chassis with a layer of steel... | |
| Tune of the Day While listening to the Jim Lauderdale track, you should hopefully become aware of the feeling that the players are "holding back". It’s a hard thing to describe and quantify, but it’s what separates the men from the boys in the area of musicianshi... | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Yeah @slaw, the HW-19's subchassis really needs to be removed from the surrounding base. I'm getting some Townshend Seismic Pods to put under the subchassis of my Mk.3 (with Aries 1/TNT-4 platter and bearing), the stock spring suspension removed. ... | |
| Tune of the Day Sure do, @slaw. New West Records had a great sale back in November, and I picked up the Hiatt LP as well as the new ones by Rodney Crowell and Richard Thompson for $13.99 each, plus the Court Yard Hounds (the two sisters from The Dixie Chicks) LP ... |
