| Dodd Audio Preamp Excellent @jim2! By the way people, Danny’s system includes a pair of the GR Research/Rythmik Audio Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subs (the 3 woofer version). I regularly see guys stating as fact that OB subs aren’t capable of producing deep bass. ... | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? @cleeds: While I heard the IRS once (Mike Kay of Lyric Audio brought his pair to the Stereophile Show in L.A. one year), the highest-level model I have lived with was the RS-1b (my first Infinity’s were the company’s entry-level speaker---the M... | |
| Kris Kristofferson Matthew: Larry McNeely! I have an album of his, Live At McCabe’s (Takoma Records), the well known acoustic instrument shop on Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica (a favorite haunt of Ry Cooder). There is a concert venue in the back of the store; I saw V... | |
| Kris Kristofferson @immatthew: Yeah, the lines separating Country & Western, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Folk, Singer/Songwriter, etc. are not clear cut. And it was---imo---the emergence of Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, etc. that led "mainstream/commercial" Country m... | |
| Dodd Audio Preamp Give a call to Danny Richie at GR Research. Gary and Danny were close friends, and Danny has a number of Dodd amps and pre-amps, which he used in his system at hi-fi shows, and still does in his own personal system. | |
| New In 2024 On October 18th New West Records is releasing (on LP and CD) a various artists collection of recordings of songs written by David Olney. Entitled Can't Steal My Fire: The Songs Of David Olney, the artists include Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier... | |
| Open baffle speakers Few people have heard either the Linkwitz Lab or GR Research open baffle loudspeakers, both of which include open baffle woofers. Linkwitz uses a pair of 10" woofers in an M/W frame, GR Research a choice of two or three 12" woofers in an H fram... | |
| Kris Kristofferson For those who haven’t heard it, Gordon Lightfoot’s recording of Kris’ "Me And Bobby McGee" is a great version (it’s on his If You Could Read My Mind album, originally issued as Sit Down Young Stranger). As a bonus, it features excellent recorde... | |
| Kris Kristofferson @garebear: Not to be argumentative---and appreciating the sentiment expressed directly above---but now is also a time when Country is Country and is good music. Sure, not the stuff on the radio or awards shows (except for the annual Americana M... | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? I bought Brooks Berdan’s personal pair of RS-1b’s in the late-90’s for $2,000, and sold them back to him in 2008. Anyone contemplating buying any of the Infinity’s that contain the EMIT/EMIM drivers should be prepared to have some restoration ... | |
| Thoughts on the new pressing of "Bookends" lp from MFSL I balk at paying $125 to Mobile Fidelity for their One-Step releases, considering they are cutting their lacquers from digital files (though I do own one, Carole King’s Tapestry. ALL other versions are really bad, and I must have the music cont... | |
| Kris Kristofferson @mcstin: Carlene is quite a gal. She was married to Nick Lowe for a while, then Tom Petty’s bass player Howie Epstein. Lowe wrote a song called "Homewrecker", and I’ve long wondered if it was she to whom he was referring. Carlene was brought o... | |

Owner Art Noxon has designed a complete systems approach and product line for soundproofing a room, named IsoWall Soundproofing. Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound built his room using the ASC... | |
| Otis Gibbs elicites a great interview with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel! @stuartk: I never said The Dead copied The Band. And I’m well aware of Garcia’s musical roots. I bought the Old & in The Way album when in was released in 1973 (and felt it was rather mediocre), and have played "Friend Of The Devil" in a ba... | |
| New In 2024 Already in the racks: Dave Edmunds: Swan Songs: The Singles 1976-1981. For you younger fellas, Dave Edmunds emerged as a solo artist in 1970 (after having been a member of the UK trio Love Sculpture). He was on the short list of guitari... |
