| Sweethearts of the rodeo tour @rpeluso, Keith was acting so lasciviously leering towards Norah it was disgusting. He was all over her, like a drunk at a bar. Like your uncle hitting on your mom or sister, it was really creepy. And you’re right----what is that thing of his wher... | |
| Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k The bass in some of the bigger Salks is produced by the built-in Rythmik Audio Servo-Feedback Subwoofer system. | |
| Heard Maggie 3.7i with.. @secretguy, what if you end up not getting a pair of the 3.7i? Why not wait, and get an amp when you get the speakers. The dealer may make you a good package price offer. Plus, by the time you get the speakers, there may be a newly-introduced amp ... | |
| How did a bands' name originate? The Band supposedly came from the fact that everyone around Woodstock referred to them as that (they were known to be living in the Big Pink house in West Saugerties, and working with Dylan). While they were still Ronnie Hawkins’ backup band they ... | |
| Isolation for Focal Aria 936 The Townshend Audio Seismic Pods are quite a bit cheaper than their Podiums. If your speakers already have outriggers as a base, the Podiums are not necessary. | |
| Sweethearts of the rodeo tour While Gram Parsons is given the lion’s share of credit for The Byrds’ Sweethearts Of The Rodeo album, to relegate Chris Hillman to a mere supportive role is, I maintain, a grave injustice. Remember, it was Hillman who was in a working Bluegrass ba... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana Excellent @mcondo, congratulations on your great musical taste! For more Americana albums in great sound, search out slaw's posts. They're full of them. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? A great early-70's artist almost forgotten by all but the most ardent Pop fans is Emitt Rhodes, whose self-titled debut album is fantastic.Everybody knows Crazy Horse as Neil Young's band, but they made a great album of their own in 1971, when gui... | |
| Preamp to preamp @ihcho, if pre #1 sounds better than $2 (plus has a phono stage), you could consider going without a remote (the horror!). If you just have to have it, do as you thought---tape out from pre #1 to any pre #2 input for phono. But your CD player shou... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana @mcondo, do you already have all Buddy Miller's albums? His with his wife Julie? Iris Dement? Emmylou Harris? Jim Lauderdale? Marty Stuart? Steve Earle? John Hiatt? Lucinda Williams? Rodney Crowell? Chris Hillman's latest (produced by Heartbreaker... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? I got to know quite well the manager of the Classical department at my local Tower Records. He had a very negative opinion of what he referred to as audiofools---those who care more about the sonic quality of a recording than its’ artistic content... | |
| Vandersteen 3a vs Magnepan 3.7i While a bigger room is better, 12' X 15' is sufficient for Maggies. Put them 5' in front of the 12' wall, and your listening chair 3' from the wall behind it. Because the speakers are to the left and right of the center line, that will put the cha... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Real good points @mustbethemusic. Very few people these days just sit and listen to music, as a destination activity. Many people just like a particular song by any given entertainer (as opposed to artist ;-), and are not necessarily interested in... | |
| Seasoned ears only @willieva, Roger Modjeski of Music Reference has developed a mod for the 121 Interface (he studied it, and found faults he could eliminate), as well a direct-drive tube amp for ESL’s. Modjeski designed and built the direct-drive tube amp used in t... | |
| Subwoofer info @pcc67, your concern about the lower power output of the Rythmik plate amp as compared with that of the SVS would be valid IF the sensitivity of the woofers used in both companies subs were equal. They are not. Rythmik woofer drivers are unusually... |
