| Stands, to couple, or not to couple, contradicting products and positive reviews Consider watching the Max Townshend (Townshend Audio) video on You Tube in which he explains and demonstrates the properties and performance of his Seismic products. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, are you getting the deluxe box Music From Big Pink? 2 LP's, a 7" 45, an SACD/DVD, and a book. Can't wait! | |
| Trouble Contacting Clear Day Cables I've had some interaction with Paul, and as schubert said, he walks it like he talks it. | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? The rational for constrained layer damping is that the product absorbs vibration and converts it to heat---not reflecting the mechanical energy back to it’s source, but instead dissipating it. That’s the theory, anyway. I really doubt damping tape... | |
| EAR 912 impression Yeah, I was speaking in terms of the line stage only. I run a Herron phono stage into one of the inputs on the 868L. | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? Geoff’s dislike of EAR damping products reminded me that he also dislikes lead, and that rolls of lead tape are also available. A roll of 3/4" cost less than $10, for those wishing to give it a try. However, lead is relatively heavy (in relation t... | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? Michael Percy (Audio) sells an EAR product named TAD Damping Foil. It's a composite damping sheet comprised of a viscoelastic pressure sensitive adhesive constrained by an aluminum foil layer, 0.005" thick. It's very light and flexible, perfect fo... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale To hear another really great ensemble, there's a video viewable on You Tube of Joan Osborne and her road band in a radio station performing Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips", and they (and she) are smokin'! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz, give Dylan's Planet Waves a try. It's from '74, recorded live in the studio with The Band backing him. MoFi put it our recently on SACD and LP, and the sound is very direct, live in the room. Very little artificial processing (electron... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale Oh man vinylvision1, Little Village! Not only did I not miss their sole album (I have it on LP and CD, along with a couple of bootlegs of shows), I was fortunate enough to see and hear them live, on a soundstage in Burbank to an industry-only audi... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century I was going to nominate Modest Mussorgsky’s "Pictures At An Exhibition", but during a little research learned that though the work became very popular and often performed after orchestrations were written for it in the early 1900’s, most famously ... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? Ha, I’ve never been described as a conservative before; my Libertarian friends disagree! I’ve always thought the left/right, conservative/liberal (oops, I mean progressive) construct is way too simplistic. | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale I did not know that onhwy61, good to hear. I have a collection of The 5 Royales, I’ll have to give it a fresh listen. Another influence on all the Tele players is Paul Burlinson of The Rock ’n’ Roll Trio (Johnny and Dorsey Burnette, along with Pau... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @oregonpapa, FDR introduced many of the social programs now considered government-provided subsistence assistance, including Social Security (which is in fact no such thing). When the G.I.’s like my Pa came home from WWII, G.I. home loans were mad... | |
| New in 2018 And on August 31st, Capitol’s deluxe reissue of The Band’s 1968 Music From Big Pink debut album drops. It is a box set with new mixes and mastering by Bob Clearmountain from 24/96 digital masters, in all the formats (except tape ;-)---black vinyl,... |
