| Whats playing on your system today? My U.S. copy of the Rockpile album does too, reubent. The last entry, of Los Angeles Dec. 13-15, is the shows I was at. It wasn't really in Los Angeles proper, but over the Hollywood Hills in the center of the San Fernando Valley, on Sherman Way i... | |
| Thoughts on Big Star I saw a great documentary on Big Star a couple of years ago, should be easy to find somewhere. There are quite a few Pop groups who are cult legends, never achieving much commercial success, but inspiring a lot of members of groups/bands who did. ... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? The obvious question is, what speaker is the amp hooked up to? All amp/speaker combinations are "systems", the sound of each dependent on the other. Why is it assumed it is the amp that is boomy, rather than the result of the amp/speaker interaction? | |
| which Audio Research pre-amp? A reasonable question a-s, the answer being ARC pre-amps have a certain cache' amongst audiophiles. My question is, why doesn't the op audition both the ARC pre's he is interested in at an ARC dealer? Doesn't trust his own judgment, but "knows" th... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days Set up in a marble and glass room! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? reubent, did you manage to see/hear Rockpile live? They played three consecutive nights at The Country Club in Reseda, CA in 1980, with Moon Martin opening. I went all three nights; now THAT was a Rock 'n' Roll band! Moon was great too. My first w... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality I'm guessing Johnson was referring to the signal path length within a balanced circuit, not within a balanced cable. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. Yer welcome, knollbrent ;-) . The music’s great too. If you love the album enough to justify the cost, look for the original UK/British pressing; it has a great front cover. | |
| Esoteric Support - nonexistent??? Ah jafant, another happy DV-50s owner. The SACD/DVD player is garnering a cult following. | |
| SPEAKERS JUMPER CABLES I would assume the preferred arrangement is to connect the cable from the power amp onto the upper-driver binding posts, then jumper from there over to the low frequency driver posts. Is that how ya’ll do it? | |
| Mountain and Cactus I saw Leslie West playing in The Vagrants (on a Les Paul Jr., iirc), pre-Mountain. He came out onto the Fillmore stage wearing a mesh cape covered in bird feathers. Quite a sight! | |
| What is the Best LP Cover Art for you Wall R. Crumb And His Cheap Suit Serenaders. | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? Thanks ff, I’ll check them out too. I had all my regular places in L.A. to find LP’s: Record Surplus, Atomic (only a couple of blocks from my house in Burbank. They have a VPI HW-16 RCM), Amoeba, a bunch of others (as well as thrift stores, etc.).... | |
| Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing? Thanks sejodiren. Yeah, I'm just over the river in Vancouver, but there's no serious record stores over here. I learned of Crossroads just recently, but haven't made it there yet. Soon! Millennium's pretty good as far as stock, but not as far as p... | |
| Best MM? Very true dhcod. The Londons cause the SME knife-edge bearing to "chatter". Too bad, because the SME arm tube is a great one. |
