| JD Souther has passed away @mofimadness: I’ve watched a few docs on the Laurel Canyon scene, but I’m waiting for part 2 and 3 of the one you linked. Hair Metal is of no interest to me . By the way, a couple of the guys in Guns N’ Roses worked at the Tower video store on ... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover @harpo75: There is a way to use the VSS Double Pocket sleeves on a triple gatefold jacket, I’ve done it. You put a Double Pocket sleeve on both the two outer gatefolds, with the tape strips on the flaps on the back of the jacket (you MUST u... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Has anyone mentioned Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens? The Analogue Productions pressing. Not an "audiophile" sounding recording, but "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder (on his Talking Book album) is a track that is very "punchy" sounding. On... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover Hudson Hi-Fi provides no proof that the goats hair bristles of their anti-static arm "discharges" the negative charge on the surface of the LP (or even a technical explanation of how that discharging is accomplished), transfers "something" into... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! A cheap way to add fun to your hi-fi is to get one of the inexpensive surround sound boxes containing the Dynaquad system. David Hafler was a big fan, and offered a couple of different Dynaco boxes to create a rear channel signal. All the circu... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover There ya go @harpo75! VSS offers the double sleeve in a variety of different configurations. I recommend getting one packet (25 sleeves)---or even just a single sleeve---of each model that looks interesting, to learn what works best for you... | |
| JD Souther has passed away All the remaining Laurel Canyon artists should get together and record a JD Souther tribute album, before they too leave us. Jackson Browne, how ’bout it?! I spent a lot of time in The Troubadour after moving to L.A. in 1979, and really wish I... | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others Before Neil Young had Jack Nitzsche add orchestration to his early solo albums, Jack had done the same for Neil's Buffalo Springfield song "Expecting To Fly". Jack had written the orchestrations for Phil Spector's recordings, those recordings a... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response I eagerly look forward to the dipole dynamic woofer system Magnepan has been working on for quite some time now. It is said to be the basis for a new Magnepan planar-magnetic model, and to be offered as an add-on for the already available Magne... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover @lalitk: Oh sure, the platter one uses with the Orbit need not be the one on which you play your LP’s. I’ve never seen the term "transit platter" before. What’s that mean? @lewm: My mention of using a static removal device directly after cl... | |
| New In 2024 On November 1st, Elvis Costello’s King Of America (his own personal favorite of his many albums) is being released on LP by Universal Music. "Remastered from the original master tapes", for what that’s worth. I already own both original UK (on ... | |
| HumminGuru Orbit Vinyl Record Static Remover I was an early adopter of the original Zerostat (I’ve had models with white, red, and blue plastic bodies), and suffered with it’s idiosyncracies for years (the pistol needs to be squeezed and released verrrrry slowly. Irritating!). It was ... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? Lightweights. On tour in the U.S.A. in ’65, Kinks drummer Mick Avory removed a cymbal from it’s stand and tossed it at Dave Davies. It barely missed his head, Dave almost being decapitated. Antics like this resulted in The Kinks being banne... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @phusis: On the Rythmik Audio website designer Brian Ding provides exhaustive technical information on his subs. I believe details on the servo-feedback compensation for voice coil temperature variation and other functions may be found in the s... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? For those who want the OB/Dipole Sub from Rythmik Audio/GR Research but don’t have the tools, experience, and/or interest in building the required OB frame into which the woofers are installed, GR Research has a couple of woodworkers who will m... |
