| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Seeing the Angel Iris Dement receive the recognition she SO deserves gladdens my heart. Another well-kept secret is a singer of a very different sort---Lou Ann Barton. She has a few albums spread out over many years, but Old Enough, produced by Gl... | |
| Tune of the Day "Reconsider Baby" by Lowell Fulson. Listen to it to hear where Jimmie Vaughan got his style, and to hear the kind of laid-back deep-groove that very, very few white Blues bands are able to produce. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. "Musicality" is one of those oh-so-subjective terms with no agreed-upon meaning. But the same can be said about the incomplete sentence by khiak above ;-) . The "can" implies it is a question, but the "changes" negates that. Should the sentence re... | |
| Speakers for a small room Eminent Technology LFT-16A, $1250/pr. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Cool @boxer12, I love Don Dixon (and his wife Marti Jones), and haven't heard from him in quite a while. He's a very talented guy---songwriter, singer, producer, multi-instrumentalist. | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? George, I've never heard (or even seen) a plasma tweeter, so an ESL or ribbon driven by tubes is as good as I've heard. Transparent, grain-free purity, but only if the amp is capable of producing high frequencies at low distortion. As the OP has l... | |
| Buying my 1st new LP in 42 years..Suggestions? Anything on the Water Lily label. A Meeting By The River (with Ry Cooder) is fantastic, both sonically and musically. | |
| 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 ... |
