| The current best band in the world? I think Weezer are a great band. They strike me as being a blend of The Ramones and AC/DC, with their own approach and personality. I love 'em! | |
| The current best band in the world? @n80, so you consider The Stones the "current" best band/group in the world? I can see a person wanting to bestow upon them best "all-time" (whether I or anyone else agrees with that or not), but current? I'm not sure even they would still be self... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Me likey, ghosthouse. The verses are very similar to Albert King's "Born Under A Bad Sign" (same lick and groove), written by William Bell and Booker T. Jones. Cream also recorded the song, but Jack Bruce was no Albert King! | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? @tzh21y, unfortunately, Buffalo Springfield were history by the time of CSN&Y. If you think about it, they had to be, as Stephen Stills and Neil Young were in both. | |
| Platter mat insanity Everybody I knew dumped their rubber mat when the Audioquest Sorbothane mat came out. Then companies started exploring, as Thom @ Galibier put it, impedance matching materials like Acetal (Delrin), Graphite, even lead. | |
| Substitute for Shindo in the UK EAR-Yoshino. | |
| Coupling vs Decoupling @jdeickhoff, to see and learn more about mass-on-spring isolation, go to You Tube and do a search for the Townshend Audio Seismic Pod video, on which that product is explained and demonstrated. | |
| The future of new music....... Young, modern engineers have been trained in very non-audiophile/purist recording methods and techniques, the term high fidelity meaning absolutely nothing to them. There is no absolute, all is relative. The idea of recreating an acoustic event is... | |
| Questions about my system. Tubes have to me always meant freedom from grain, dryness (lack of liquid transparency), and thinning of the harmonic complexity of instruments and voices. Also superior depth reproduction, the physical palpability of instruments and vocal cords, ... | |
| Questions about my system. "Warmth" is a coloration. A really good pre-amp, whether tube or solid state, sounds neither warm nor cold, neither soft nor hard. | |
| Platter mat insanity David Fletcher, Marcel Riendeau, Peter Moncrieff, George Merrill, Austin Jackson. There are others, but that’s enough to get the sincerely interested started. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? In the 1960’s and 70’s, self-contained musical organizations (those that wrote, sang, and played the music on recordings) were called groups, not bands. The term band for many years referred to the musicians who backed up a singer, i.e. (Springste... | |
| Your 3 Favorite Songs Great songs slaw. I always forget how good a song "Monday Monday" is, until I hear it playing. By the way, I met Carole in the late 90's, and she was absolutely wonderful, as beautiful inside as she is outside. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @convinced, I'm impressed! I discovered Smiley Smile (and Wild Honey) in the spring of '68, and soon read (in Paul Williams' Outlaw Blues, a great book on music) about the entire Smile album debacle. That album would have been, had it been complet... | |
| Your 3 Favorite Songs "God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson (music) and Tony Asher (lyrics), performed by The Beach Boys, vocals by Carl Wilson."What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean, performed by Jimmy Ruf... |
