| Joan Baez-"I Am A Noise" Documentary Always nice to hear from you. While I’m here: A little over ten years ago we had a reunion-of-the-old-gang get together at another drummer’s house in San Jose (he was in a band with Dave Shogren after Dave "left" The Doobie Brothers, but i... | |
| New In 2025 On the upcoming Record Store Day (April 12th), the new album by Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives comes out. My current favorite band in the world! The album is all instrumental, 20 songs free of those annoying vocals. | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @tomic601: Right you are, pal o' mine! | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @billpete: If you're going to look for a UK Island copy of Tea For The Tillerman, make sure to find the original version, with the Pink center paper label. I had the second version, with the "sunray" Island label, which I found to sound very od... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @jasonbourne71: While doubting a pair of EL84’s can produce 35 watts, you failed to question a pair of KT88’s producing 125 watts. And yet Modjeski did just that in his RM-200 amplifier. For proof, read the test bench results John Atkinson got ... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. That’s the common wisdom @jasonbourne71, but one of Modjeski’s goals in designing the RM-10 was to prove that it is not a fact but rather a fallacy. Modjeski and David Manley got into a heated debate in the pages of Stereophile on this very sub... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @toro3: Hey, John has the same cassette deck as me, the Nakamichi BX300. Thanks for the link. It’s interesting; he has a lot more gear and LPs in the listening room at the DeVore factory that at his home. I’ll bet he spends more time at the for... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? David Lindley's 1981 album El Rayo-X. "Mercury Blues" is a killer track. | |
| George Kaye @unreceicedogma: In the mid-80's I received a call at home awhile after writing Harvey regarding Decca phono pickups (he was a well-known expert on them). I hadn't included my phone number in the latter, he called information to get it! I took ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, are you thinking of the T-Bone Walker album of the same title? | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. They don't want to get "flamed"? | |

| Best Compilation Discs The series of Everly Brothers compilation LP's Ace Records (UK) put out in the 1970's and 80's. Great music, great sound. | |
| Joan Baez-"I Am A Noise" Documentary While I have always appreciated (applauded even) Joan’s efforts on behalf of mankind, I found the extreme vibrato in her voice to be not to my liking (I feel the same about Elvis Costello). But a coupla months back I picked up a few of her old ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Oh, and a number of Roy Orbison's albums on Monument Records, including In Dreams, Only The Lonely, and Greatest Hits. Originals and reissues by Classic Records. |
