| Simon and Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" MOFI UD1S I’ve always found Mobile Fidelity’s choices of titles to redo inexplicable. They always do a great job, I just can’t discern what the rational is in those choices. It doesn’t seem to be the sound quality of the original master tapes, as that varie... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? The roller bearings made by Symposium, Ingress Engineering, and FIM each use one ball bearing per foot. How many are in each Stillpoint? The more ball bearings, the more friction and noise, etc. | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. wow whart, Brian Davidson! I haven't thought of him in years. I saw him live when The Nice came to San Francisco in '68. For those who don't know, The Nice was the group Keith Emerson was in before ELP, and I kinda liked their first album at the t... | |
| Phono cable and preamp for soundsmith Carmen mk2 What is the output voltage of your pickup? If it’s a couple of mV’s or more, you need only the 42-44dB gain provided by the mm version of the Herron VTPH-1 or -2. Keith Herron sometimes has a used VTPH-1 that was traded in on a TVPH-2. I bought a ... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale LIttle Feat and The Band shared a mutual admiration for each other. When Levon Helm came through Los Angeles in 2000 and played at The House Of Blues, Little Feat drummer Richie Hayward joined him on stage. Levon was recovering from throat surgery... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. I could talk for hours about The Band, and have. Levon Helm is a musical giant in my book, and I’m not alone in that sentiment. Here’s part of his great story:Levon grew up in Helena, Arkansas, the same town in which blues harmonica-great Sonny Bo... | |
| 50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album. @michaellent, I too have cried when listening to "The Weight". I applaud your courage in admitting to crying in response to music, especially to a sausage-fest audience such as AudiogoN ;-). No offence, Elizabeth. Some other songs that bring me to... | |
| Send Inlets to be Cryoed What's an "inlet"? I feel dumb. | |
| What is the epic song of a group? I now realize many of us, certainly I, didn't take the "epic" qualifier seriously enough in our nominations. | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? Roger Modjeski doesn't provide ANY power cord with his Music Reference RM-200 power amp, saying he figures everyone has an unused computer cord in a drawer, or will be using an aftermarket cord anyway. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I haven't done the math, but I don't believe there are enough hours in an average persons life to listen to a million albums. And that's if you started at birth! But then, some people "collect" with no intention of listening. | |
| LP Anti Static Brush The new, revise Audioquest brush is claimed to have conductive fibers which transmit static into the users hand, down his body to ground. I don’t have one, still using my ancient Hunt and Decca brushes. | |
| Major artists that don't have an epic song Frank Zappa. But then he wasn't a songwriter. Or a singer. Or much of anything, except full of himself. So smug! | |
| What is the epic song of a group? Al, speaking for myself, that’s because very few groups have a member capable of writing what I consider a song, let alone an epic one ;-). By the way, though I don't care for Joni (to put it mildly), I agree with you about Judy’s version of "Both... | |
| What is the epic song of a group? The Beach Boys: "God Only Knows", written by Brian Wilson.Jimmy Ruffin: "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean.The Band: "The Weight", written by J.R. Robertson.The above are by far the mo... |
