| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? As Ralph Karsten (atmasphere) has been saying, distortion is perceived as tonality. Less high frequency distortion = less brightness. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... Grisman and Jerry Garcia had a Bluegrass group in the early-mid-70's named Old & In The Way, and their debut album was put out on audiophile label Acoustic Disc. It sounds fantastic!Rounder Records is known for their excellent sounding albums,... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Wolf, I drove to Austin with my bass player partner in 2008, to see what the housing market was like. We were thinking of moving there and hiring ourselves out as a rhythm section (but ended up not doing it). We checked into a fleabag motel and we... | |
| Your first component that was "special" @brettmcee, I lived in Burbank for years (over by the NBC studios. Have you eaten at Don Cuco's Mexican restaurant, right around the corner from Bob's Big Boy?), and found Tom Carione to be an excellent tech. He's at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia... | |
| VPMS speakers from the 80s Brian Cheney got the ribbon drivers he used from Bruce Thigpen at Eminent Technology. Try to hear the ET LFT-8b. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Right you are clio. I just checked the listing, and it's closed. This one had a nice walnut base, which I hadn't before seen from Music Reference. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification John Atkinson got the following measurements for the Cary Audio SLI-100:- 3.2 watts @ 1% distortion, into 8 ohms from the 8 ohm tap.- 22 watts @ 3% distortion, same.- 100 watts (Carys’ stated output for the amp) @ 10% distortion!- 1.2 watts @ 1% d... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks @mitchagain. I know of Duke from his work with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, and Bill Morrissey, and I have his own Lava album on CD. Great player! As is Jim Campilongo, who is pretty well known in the Bay Area, where I grew up. Jim ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Yeah wolf, Edmunds made two Love Sculpture albums, one sort of Progressive, one pure Blues, like Peter Greens’ Fleetwood Mac. But it was when he went solo that he really found his forte. His hit single of Smiley Lewis’ "I Hear You Knocking" in 197... | |
| Tune of the Day "Get Out Of Denver" by Dave Edmunds. Written by Bob Seger (who does an okay version), but perfected by Edmunds. Absolutely bristling with Rock ’n Roll tension-and-release sexual energy, it’s found on Daves’ fantastic Get It album on Swan Song. Swa... | |
| Recording 50's style Dave Edmunds put out his debut solo album (after having put out a couple in his band Love Sculpture) Rockpile (album title, not his later band with Nick Lowe of the same name) in 1970, and had a hit with its’ single "I Hear You Knocking" (a remake... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Exactly @whart. Modern "Country" became big business with that ass hat Garth Brooks, but is even worse now. How disgusting are Rascal Flatts? There’s a couple hundred phony Country acts now, one worse than the next. Johnny, Merle, Buck, and Hank a... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? I hesitate suggesting any artist, as someone here is bound to have heard of him or her, some even having actually heard his or her music. For instance, some have never even heard of Dave Edmunds, others are very aware of him (and his band with Nic... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @clio09, there have been two different RM-10 Mk.2 listed here recently, one at a much lower price than the other. The cheaper sold, the other is still listed at an asking price of $2450, I believe. | |
