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... | |
thoughts on phono stage Wow Simon, I can't wait to just find out what they are! Your Magico Q3's are mighty high performance, so your new speakers must be really special. Care to give us a hint? ;-) | |
Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs George, I have an interesting recommendation for you. Welsh Rock ’n’ Roll guitarist/singer/producer Dave Edmunds (well known as producer of The Stray Cats, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Everly Brothers and others, and member along with Nick Lowe ... | |
thoughts on phono stage Damn folkfreak, I need to come over to your place again just to hear your system with the new phono amp! | |
BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Mogami Gold Studio. | |
Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements Just compare the design and construction of the Eminent Technology magnetic-planar drivers and their metal support structures to the Magneplanars! I like and own Maggies (Tympani-4a’s), but anyone contemplating the purchase of MG1.7i’s (or even 3.... | |
Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements Damn, what a great idea! What you have there is basically the discontinued LFT-6, which are impossible to find. I know, I’ve been looking for a few years. Doubled LFT-8’s has been done before (by Douglas Schroeder), but in side-by-side configurati... |
