| Talk but not walk? @glupson, audiopoint was referring to my August 27th, 3:01 PM post on this page. | |
| Talk but not walk? Referring to hi-fi as a hobby offends me. Music is sacred (well, some of it ;-), and to call the efforts taken to maximize it’s reproduction a hobby tends to trivialize our greatest art form. Hi-fi is merely a means to an end; it is of importance ... | |
| Magnepan 30.7s visit Jacksonville Hey Josh, nice to see you here on AudiogoN! For those not into planars, Josh is a leading contributor on the Planar Speaker Asylum site, and is very knowledgeable about Magneplanars---Eric. | |
| Talk but not walk? Right you are, analogluvr, But there’s no money to be made off one such as Kosst. He who preaches walking in truth wants following, and to his tune (pun not intentional, but.....) only. That comes at a price, of course. | |
| Is It Possible? I bought a pair of the original Magneplanar Tympani-I’s in ’72, then sold them in ’74 and bought Fulton Model J’s. Though the Fulton’s were more transparent (those RTR ESL tweeters were killer!) and had the bottom octave missing in the Tympani’s, ... | |
| Magnepan 30.7s visit Jacksonville Excellent! I was at the first stop on the tour (in Portland, Oregon), which was unfortunately sabotaged by a bad room and source material. I’m an owner of the 80’s version of the 30.7, the Tympani-IVa’s, and can’t wait to hear the new model in a b... | |
| Preamplifier power supply Regarding power transformers, real audio engineers/designers like Tim de Paravicini (EAR-Yoshino) and Roger Modjeski (Music Reference) have much to say on the subject, not just silly things like smaller is better. Roger winds his own for some of h... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale Hiya tomic601! If you haven't yet discovered him, check out Buddy Miller. He's Emmylou Harris' guitarist and bandleader, and also a solo artist with a bunch of albums, both with and without his wife Julie, herself a great songwriter and singer. | |
| Hidden Treasure In observance of the passing Aretha Franklin, I heartily recommend an album produced by her early Atlantic Records-period producer, the great Jerry Wexler. Wexler took Lou Ann Barton down to Muscle Shoals to record her Old Enough album, and it is ... | |
| Ed Martin: Marcof Right you are tomic601. Tom Carione is the techs name, and he is in the store on Wednesdays and Saturdays. A few years before Brooks died he had an absolutely mint Bedini 25/25 in his museum. I wanted it pretty badly, but already had a working 25/... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century Thanks tubegroover. I have only one solo piano version, Richter's 1958/60 live recording issued on LP by CBS Records in the late 60's. The performance is great, but the recorded sound is pretty thin. | |
| Hidden Treasure I’m not surprised ghosthouse, you’re one hip music lover! Hanging around hi-fi stores as I have since discovering component audio when I was 18 (I met a guy who had a Rek-O-Kut transcription table with a Shure M44 cartridge, H. H. Scott integrated... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @nutty---I love Mary’s Mercy Now album, and her as an artist. I discovered her as a result of the album being produced by Gurf Morlix, Lucinda Williams’ guitarist, band leader, and producer up to and including her career-making Car Wheels On A Gra... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs @n80, oh yeah, Edmunds has a lot of solo albums, and one as a member of the great Rockpile (with Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams). Dave just announced his retirement---he's in his mid-70's. He continued to perform "Sabre Dance" after ... | |
| Hidden Treasure A great topic! I could name a few hundred, but off the top of my head:- Julianna Raye: Something peculiar. An album of great pop songs produced by Jeff Lynne. Really cool.- Michael Kelsh: Well Of Mercy. A great singer/songwriter, produced by Rodne... |
