| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? @n80, if your comment was made in regard to the names I mentioned (it may not have been), I named the band, then gave details about it’s members. Bands have members, right? ;-)If The Band is eligible, what makes them SO unique is that they are a s... | |
| The current best band in the world? @slaw, yup I got the "Way Out West" LP at Barnes & Noble. They have an exclusive version with the cover signed by Marty & The Fabulous Superlatives. By the way, there is a promotional video for the album, entitled "Marty Stuart Way Out Wes... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? If you want to go way back and talk about all-time best:- The Tympani Five (Louis Jordan’s band). Jordan is considered the father of Rock ’n’ Roll, though that credit could also go to Big Joe Turner.- Little Richard’s recording band. Unbelievably ... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Not imo! Not bad, though. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nice score 16f4! Which pressing of Truth Decay did you get, the one by Chrysalis or Allegiance? The song "Driving Wheel" has a "false" ending---the song ends, the sound slowly decaying to silence. The song then starts back up again, playing out as... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Yes prof, the Quad 63. The Eminent Technology LFT-8b, with it's magnetic-planar midrange drivers reproducing 180Hz up to 10kHz without a crossover. The dynamic woofer and ribbon tweeter are employed below and above that (respectively) via 1st orde... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? The Stones are American?! The Four Seasons were a Rock & Roll band?! Ay carumba!I would say Los Lobos are in the running, and The Blasters, though they are on the border where Rock & Roll and Blues overlap. | |
| Your (perfect) record Oh, me too slaw, otherwise I wouldn't bother having them in my collection. I also have about 750 7" 45's, of individual songs I like a lot. There are currently quite a few young bands and solo artists making albums with at least mostly good materi... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Since The Band were 4/5’s Canadian, and Rockpile English/Welsh (and played American Rock & Roll at least as well as any band of which I am aware), I’d say NRBQ. But then I don’t consider The Eagles a Rock & Roll Band. Rush can be called ma... | |
| Reminiscing about Dual and AR turntables I would avoid the 60’s/70’s AR, the XA and XB---it’s tonearm was not so hot, though the table was fine for what it was. The ES-1, introduced in the mid-80’s with an outsourced arm (Jelco? Audioquest?), the arm weakness of the XA/B cured and theref... | |
| The current best band in the world? jnorris, I didn't expect a consensus. If "this discussion will really lead anywhere" it is to "introduce people to new music". THAT was my intent! | |
| The current best band in the world? @ron1319---Is your swing dance venue The Derby? That place really took off in the 90's, when the Swing Revival got underway. The clientele was into the whole lifestyle---zoot suits, vintage cars and haircuts, the ladies in garters and seamed stock... | |
| Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW Paravacini uses transformers to create the balanced/XLR outputs in his EAR-Yoshino 868L pre-amp. If the power amp it feeds has only XLR inputs, the 868's balanced outputs (there are two pair, plus two pair of unbalanced/RCA outputs) are obviously ... | |
| Your (perfect) record A few more: Dylan's Blonde On Blonde, John Wesley Harding, and Blood On The Tracks, Rockpile's Seconds Of Pleasure, John Hiatt's Bring The Family and Slow Turning, Loudon Wainwright's Last Man On Earth, Weezer's s/t ("green" album), The Byrds Swee... | |
| Pieces of music that digital can't get right @onhwy61, as you may already know, a good small diaphragm condenser mic is best for cymbals. I’ve been recorded with Sony’s (don’t know the model number, but I believe they cost over a grand), the Shure SM81, AKG’s, and Neumann’s (very expensive, ... |
