| 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. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I have for years heard accusations from audiophiles about TAS and now Stereophile requiring advertising from any company wanting one of their products reviewed. I have never seen any proof of that, and have to point of that though I have never see... | |
| Sound Anchors and Magnepan The sound anchor stand DOES provide an improvement over the stock feet, but supports the 1.7 at only it’s bottom end. The Mye stand, made in Canada, has left and right-side bars that extend about 2/3 the way up the panel, anchoring the panel to th... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! @ghosthouse, yup, I'll be posting my thoughts. As a teaser, there are plenty of examples of them used in a way of which I approve ;-) ; Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, Roy Orbison, Randy Newman, The Lovin' Spoonful, and George Martin immediately come ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I went through what I guess could be called a Progressive phase. I had the debut album by The Nice, Keith Emerson's pre-ELP band. I even saw them live in late '68. My favorite Rock 'n' Roll guitarist Dave Edmunds had his pre-solo band Love Sculptu... | |
| Ordered Magico S5 MK II traded S5 MK I - Thoughts - Feedback - Anyone here them? Ah, I see fsmithjack. I was assuming you were local to Scott Walker. I guess that's not the way things work anymore! | |
| Dylan Though I love him, I've seen Dylan live only twice. I prefer to experience his kind of music privately, for some reason. I didn't see him until the very late 80's or early 90's, and he and his band (the 3-piece with G.E. Smith on guitar) were just... | |
| Ordered Magico S5 MK II traded S5 MK I - Thoughts - Feedback - Anyone here them? If Scott Walker Audio is a Magico dealer, why don't they have a pair to demonstrate? | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! The Ramones are a misunderstood band. They were an "inside joke", a wink between those who got it. They were waging a deliberate and calculated attack on Progressive Rock, which they and many other Rockers (myself included) despised. While on thei... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In? Geez Louise, rodman. Roger not being incompetent is what is called a joke, apparently one too subtle for some. I don’t accept the word of the owner of the damaged Music Reference amp, but I do accept the word of Roger Modjeski, and what he has rep... | |
| Audioquest Makenzie XLRs @lightfighter2018, if both your source and your amp conform to the AES standard, you should not have to switch your speaker cables. If either doesn’t, you won’t get the full benefit of balanced connection even if you use XLR connections. In that c... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In? @odman99999, Roger Modjeski has explained numerous times (both on his AudioCircle Music Reference Forum a few years back---which is still available to read, and on a recent thread that has unfortunately been deleted, perhaps by Roger himself. He m... |
