| A song murdered by someone. @2channel8, omg isn’t Nico awful? Just like everything connected with Andy Warhol (yes, including The Velvet Underground ;-), complete and utter bs. Jackson Browne, on the other hand, remains under-appreciated. A great songwriter and a good singer... | |
| Bands with great second albums Walter, I found Gram's Grievous Angel to be quite a bit better than his first, mostly because his tendency to go flat is minimized. There are great songs, including his nice duet with Emmylou on The Every Brothers' "Love Hurts", and a great band. ... | |
| Expanding your hobby by expanding love Fans of Americana already know about Buddy Miller, but for those who don't he's Emmylou Harris' guitarist, bandleader, and harmony singer. He is also a solo artist with a bunch of great albums, and an in-demand producer. Iris Dement is a very spec... | |
| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? Not Duke, but some people put a "budget" active electronic crossover into their system, and find it to reduce the system's transparency. Lots of people are even using those cheap digital x/o's. Oy! They contain Opamps, IC's and other sound-comprom... | |
| Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades? Just my opinion, but feet like VPI's aren't very effective at providing isolation. For the price of them you can get a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, VERY effective isolators. | |
| Expanding your hobby by expanding love Allow me to make a recommendation of how to enhance one’s own musical life: take courses in Music Theory (or at least Music Appreciation) and Electronic Engineering. Both will empower one to better understand how music is made and how it is reprod... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. slaw, you know it's funny how when "Oops" is taken out of Britney's hands and put in Richard's, you can hear how good a song it actually is. | |
| Someone please "(do) get me started" I don't have any Ray Charles LP's, just a DCC Greatest Hits gold disc. | |
| Favorite musician(s) Crowded House were one of the bright lights of the late 80's and 90's, weren't they? Like Squeeze were in the late 70's and 80's. It's a damn shame drummer Paul Hester couldn't hold on until just a little longer. | |
| Favorite musician(s) Agree 100%, t_e_p. Great choices! Another kindred spirit is Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris' guitarist, bandleader, and harmony singer. He's also a solo artist with a bunch of great albums. | |
| For those of us over 60.. slaw, I became deeply into Lucinda after discovering her in the mid-80’s (and meeting her at a Long Ryders’ show in Hollywood. Her at-the-time husband was their drummer.). I lost interest in her after her Car Wheels album, her follow-up albums not... | |
| Tune of the Day "Dimming Of The Day", performed live by Bonnie Raitt and the song’s writer Richard Thompson. Viewable/hearable on You Tube. | |
| For those of us over 60.. Being as timeless as they are, The Band have been on my turntable and in my CD players since 1969 (I didn’t "get" them until a year after Music From Big Pink came out, but for years have listened to that album every single day. Seriously.).And you... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? @fleschler, Roger Modjeski also get’s 100 watts out of a pair of KT88’s in his Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2, with well less than 1% distortion (look at the listening impressions and bench test results in it’s review in Stereophile a few years back)... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Plus, the Herron is really well built, unlike the JC3. |
