| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, Rank & File were a leader in the "Cow Punk" movement of the 1980's. They were fronted by the brother duo of Chip and Tony Kinman, previously of S.F. Punk band The Dils. | |
| SACD Ah, okay jafant. I've noticed some titles on CD have reached ridiculously low prices recently, like five bucks for a fairly recent Rodney Crowell album. Too bad I already have it! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, did you ever see Rank & File live, or have any of their albums? AE played guitar in that band in the 1980’s, and I saw them a few times in L.A. Alejandro performed live at Music Millennium here in Portland on Record Store Day last year,... | |
| Preferred Contact Cleaner and Contact Enhancer for Audio? Markertek sells the Caig Deoxit K-DG100L-2DB kit for $25.99 with free shipping. The kit contains both the Red and Gold cleaners, a 7.4ml bottle of each (the Red in that size sells for around $20 singly, the Gold for more, so the kit is a great val... | |
| SACD My problem with SACD's is their price. They don't cost any more to manufacture than do CD's, right? Seems like price gouging to me. If the SACD and LP of an album title are the same price, I'm buyin' the LP. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? @baffler65, the ABC Lexicon Of Love album has SUCH incredible production! My fave from that era of English Synth-Pop.For those who nominated Roy Orbison, there have been a couple of audiophile reissues of his Monument recordings (first by Classic ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ieales, agreed, but the Modulus pots (Noble?) were not that precise. I have no interest in resetting the channel balance every time I adjust the volume! | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @analogluvr, too fiddly. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? Coming at this topic from a different direction, there are some albums I have to possess just for one song; it’s a bonus if the entire album is good. Here are some of those songs:- "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys. On their Pet Sounds album, a p... | |
| Which Songs Make Good Ringtones? I have "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s on my cell. It never fails to elicit smiles when it plays in public. Wicked guitar playing by Steve Cropper. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes, oh yeah Roger, now I remember Dick Olsher's review of the RM-9 Mk.2. I found Olsher to be a reviewer from the Gordon Holt school (a school I approve of ;-), and he loved the amp. I believe his closing line was something like "Who needs ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! @ghosthouse, Yeah, that's a good one. Also on Pet Sounds is the sublime "God Only Knows", one of my three all-time favorite songs. It has not only strings and brass, but also woodwinds. And unlike The Beatles who required George Martin to write th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @uberwaltz, I saw AC/DC around that same time. Did Thin Lizzy open for them? I didn't (and don't) care for TL, but AC/DC I love to death! They alone are why I require a pair of speakers that play real loud ;-) . Well, they and Beethoven. | |
| Magnepan 3.6qr VS 1.7i Head over to the Planar Speaker Asylum and MUG (Magnepan Owners Group), where there is a lot of discussion by longtime Maggie owners about your very topic. | |
| MK II & MK III New! Improved! Some companies offer updates to current models only occasionally, others as a regular means of generating income between new model introductions. Another designation is SE, for Special Edition, often the final version of a model. |
