| Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!! There is also the matter of some album sides being created to be experienced as a whole, an interruption halfway through destructive to the music itself. In those cases, a bad trade-off imo. | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? noromance covered all the "sonic" improvements, which leaves the matter of involvement, immersion, suspension-of-disbelief, excitement, ability to discern the artists "intent" (for those who, Like Art Dudley, think playback equipment can affect su... | |
| This is juvenile... Some of ya’ll have nominated dead ones, so I’ll add Tammy Wynette, Amy Winehouse, Eva Cassidy, and (me too) Dusty Springfield (too bad I'm not "her type" ;-). | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Wow Geoff, Fulton’s! I never heard the Nuance, but did have a pair of the earlier Model J, which replaced Magneplanar Tympanis. The J’s had the great RTR ESL-6 tweeter array, a transmissionline loaded woofer, and Fulton’s Model 80 2-way as it’s mi... | |
| Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" MOFI UD1S slaw, my putting "better" in quotation marks was deliberate, for a reason. Better in terms of technique (a voice as an instrument) and being "prettier", but those are only two element in a singers voice, and not at all the most important to me. I ... | |
| The better (artist).... Dave Edmunds or Nick Lowe (Rockpile)? Nick Lowe for songwriting, Dave Edmunds for everything else.Jay Farrar or Jeff Tweedy (Uncle Tupelo)? Jay Farrar.Phil or Don Everly (The Ever....oh, never mind ;-)? Don.Peter Holsapple or Chris Stamey (The db’... | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? Good response noromance, real good. | |
| Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!! 45 RPM LP's remind me of 78's. How important to you is the last 5 or 10% improvement that 45's provide? How much do you value being able to put on an album, and relax and enjoy the music for a half an hour? | |
| This is juvenile... Could be Emmylou Harris. Or Iris Dement. Or Julie Miller. Or Joan Osborne. Or Carlene Carter. Or Kasey Chambers. Or Rhonda Vincent. Or Patty Loveless. Or Chrissie Hynde, I guess ;-) . | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. David Lindley’s (Jackson Browne’s original guitarist, a pal of Ry Cooder’s) first couple of albums contain great music in good sound. I don’t know if they have received an audiophile reissue, but the original Asylum’s are fine. Wait until you hear... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Good point had2be, one that had not occurred to me. I have Solid Steel racks, which unfortunately have 3/4" MDF shelves (yuck!). I bought extra top shelves to double the thickness (for my fairly heavy turntables), as well as ASC Wall Damp cut to t... | |
| Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" MOFI UD1S Great comparative review folkfreak! I prefer Paul solo (his first two, especially. He lost me on Graceland; not great songwriting imo), Garfunkel's voice being too lightweight for me. I prefer Baritones to Countertenors ;-) . Garfunkel has a "bett... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Regarding has2be's statement that screwing the two pieces of birch ply together will defeat the isolation provided by the constrained layer damping placed between them, that layer of damping material is put there not to provide isolation for the t... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? Buy a sheet of 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood (about fifty bucks), and cut (or have cut at a cabinet building shop) two pieces to size. Put Green Glue, EAR Isodamp, ASC Wall Damp, or other constrained layer damping between the two pieces, and screw the... | |
