| Your (perfect) record This kind of topic invariably leads to a listing of primarily old albums from the 50’s. 60’s, and 70’s. Sorry youngin’s, but that’s when an album was more than a single and a bunch of filler. Actually, that’s an over-simplification. In Jazz, an al... | |
| What's Your Approach to Dressing Rack Cables? It also helps to keep interconnects a length no longer than absolutely necessary. I have a few 0.5m lengths for that very reason. | |
| Marty Balin has passed away. The 60's generation artists/entertainers are coming to, as The Traveling Wilbury's sang, the end of the line. They've been dropping like flies for a while now, and it will only get worse. Most of them are in their mid-70's, some almost 80. That's ... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving slaw’s point is well taken. While a stiff shelf is better than a weak one, neither provide isolation to any appreciable degree. Baltic Birch is not only stiffer than MDF, it is lower in mass, so it exhibits a higher-frequency resonance, and absorb... | |
| Speed kills.... @russellrcncom, I too have the Stax Lambda (Pro) phones and SRM-1. Have you heard the Sanders ESL's? I heard them at the show in SoCal a few years ago, and found them very much to my liking, more than the current Quads. | |
| For those of us over 60.. @hapinoregon, you’re my kinda guy! Are you actually in Oregon? Portland perhaps?@prof, I feel your pain. Musical taste is purely subjective and personal. I too find The Moody Blues insufferable (except for their debut Go Now album, when future Win... | |
| This is juvenile... Oh man, how could I have forgotten about Marianne Faithful?! The perfect mix of Angel and tramp. | |
| Old School MFSL By "new version" I meant the newer Mobile Fidelity, not the 50th Anniversary from Capitol. Mobile Fidelity issued Music From Big Pink twice, unusual for them. | |
| Tune of the Day Oops! Didn't intend to put a nail in his coffin or anything. Neil seems like he could turn out to be one of those guys who lives to a ripe old age. I think he's a few years younger than most of his contemporaries (Crosby, Stills, Nash). | |
| Old School MFSL Damn, look at the prices Elusive Disc is asking for the OOP Mobile Fidelity LP's! They'll never sell their copy of Music From Big Pink at that price, as the new version is better and can be had for far less $. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Wow slaw, two songs I haven't heard. So Steve Miller's "Mercury Blues" is a different song the Lindley's? I admit I haven't heard it. I saw The Steve Miller Blues Band (his original band name) in '67, before the first album came out, with Boz Scag... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving @skyscraper, I use ASC (Acoustic Science Corp., maker of Tube Traps) Wall Damp as constrained layer damping. It has a "tacky" surface like double-sided carpet tape, so holds together the two pieces of wood it is installed between. It was designed ... | |
| Tune of the Day Nail Young: "Powderfinger", my favorite of all his songs. | |
| What is the fascination? The original AR arm was pretty bad. In the 80's people started cutting it off the subchassis and putting on a different arm. George Merrill came up with some great mods for the table, employing some methods he uses to this day on his own table. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. slaw, is that the David Lindley "Mercury Blues"? Must be killer, 'cause David's is fantastic. Great recorded quality, too. |
