| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. I am living in the southern most town in Washington State (Vancouver), just over the border/river from Portland, Oregon. If I were working for Eminent Technology I think I would be living in Florida. And being paid to do so. I’m not a dealer, ... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. And Clover can be the band they were without being called mellow, which to me sounded like an insult. As for Clover, I don’t particularly like them (they were certainly no Rockpile), and I was never a fan of Huey Lewis & The News. But I wou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I like other Fleetwood Mac albums, I love Kiln House. It has the most 1950's American Rock 'n' Roll sound and feel of all their albums. It was amongst my most-played albums in 1970. | |
| Shorting plugs At one appearance Bill Johnson of ARC made in a dealer’s shop near me, he told the story of getting a call from Harry Pearson, who told Bill the new pre-amp he had received was defective. Bill asked Harry a few questions, and quickly learned th... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. I’m pretty sure Costello considers the music on King Of America to be "REAL Elvis music", and 14 of the album’s 15 songs are Attractions-free. As I said above, KOA is Elvis’ own favorite of his, and the musicians who play on those 14 songs inc... | |
| Something new. @atmasphere: Ralph, are you therefore opposed to a table having separate tone arm pods? I think I am, as to me it seems logical. | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. Clover "mellow"?! | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. Before any English teacher corrects me, I'll do it myself: The Brinsley Schwarz Band WAS a major player, not were. 😉 I was running short on time (for a scheduled doctor's appointment) as I was typing that sentence, and didn't proof what I wrote... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. Right you are @jji666, which played a role in my liking it as much as I did. Plus Elvis’ vibrato wasn’t as over-the-top as it later became. I’m not generally a fan of what to me constitutes excessive vibrato, though there are exceptions (Iris D... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Speaking of Tony Williams, in an interview in Modern Drummer Magazine the interviewer asked Tony if he had heard any drummers recently who impressed him. Tony responded (I paraphrase) "Have you heard the guy in The Ramones (he was speaking of t... | |
| 4th of July Music "4th Of July" was written by Dave Alvin, originally of The Blasters, though briefly a member of X. Then a solo artist, and currently a partner with Jimmie Dale Gilmore. | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? The following is not related to the op’s question, but as many readers have enjoyed the general topic of drumming, I thought the following may be of interest: As others have commented, there ARE Jazz drummers who play their bass drum very m... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric My only caution regarding Esoteric may no longer be relevant (read on), but here it is: I bought my multi-format player (the DV-50s) used, and had it shipped to me. It weighs 46 lbs., and the Esoteric shipping carton barely survived the trip. ... | |
| Thinking About Selling and Replacing My Pop/Rock Vinyl Collection My LP library was started in it’s present incarnation in 1968 (that year I got my first adult turntable---a Garrard SL55 with a Shure M44e cartridge, and replaced all the LP’s I had ruined playing them on my kiddie record player with new copies... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. I recently acquired a copy of the expanded CD edition of King Of America (which includes a bonus disc containing 21 demo, outtake, and live versions of the album’s songs). I also have the album on LP in a UK pressing and the one from MoFi (whic... |
