| Heart, Lungs, Brains, Veins, Liver Ha, some good ones theo! I was thinking more literally. For example, the power amp or pre amp being the heart is nice in the lyrical, romantic sense, but I was thinking of it in the sense of pumping power to the speakers (just as the heart pumps b... | |
| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? I will say that I met Daniel (I know the guitarist in Henry Rollins’ road band, whose own band did some work with DL), and he was a very cool guy, no attitude what-so-ever. There are plenty of guys I can’t say that about. He did an instore perform... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? The bottom octave is a bitch to reproduce, and very, VERY few speakers are up to the task. To require them to try compromises their ability to reproduce 40Hz and up cleanly (due to the distortion the woofer creates by trying to play below it's cap... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? For Manfred Mann lovers (they were a great, great group), look for their 1969 album entitled Chapter Three. Singer Paul Jones is unfortunately gone (he and Van Morrison were the two best singers of the British Invasion), only Mike Hugg and Manfred... | |
| Heart, Lungs, Brains, Veins, Liver All right, I'll take a stab at it. The lungs are obviously the speakers, the veins the cabling, the heart the power amp, the brain the sources, which leaves only the liver to be the pre. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Oops! The guitar break of George Harrison’s that I described as incredibly musically delicious is that in The Beatles song "Nowhere Man", on their Rubber Soul album. For fun, compare it to what James Burton (another fantastically musical guitarist... | |
| Dearly departed Music Reference RM9 A few weeks ago I called the number listed on the MR website, and Roger answered. Call in the morning. If you’re in S. California, the tech at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia (a long-time Music Reference retailer) is very familiar with Roger’s desi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? slaw, okay, now I get it---if you're writing about it, it's an LP! Red vinyl---my favorite LP color. Clear is pretty cool, too. Non-black LP's are sometimes noisy though. Let us know how the s/t vinyl sounds, ay?reubent, Nick had Los Straitjackets... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? AC/DC, Weezer, Dave Edmunds, The Ramones, Wagner. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? slaw, is the 2013 Lucinda s/t album on LP? I have an expanded and remastered CD version from 1998 on Koch Records with six bonus live tracks, and the original Rough Trade LP. I like the album enough to get a new LP if it’s been done real well.reub... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Great comments everyone. Well, except czarivey; The "Beatles do suck"? No they don't, but you do. Wolf is absolutely correct---Rubber Soul and Revolver in particular contain music as fine as anyone in Pop has ever made. | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... Too nice and too late. Autospec has already made up his mind he's done with Atma-Sphere, and listed that beautiful champagne faceplate pre-amp. Damn I wish I had a spare ten grand! | |
| Quincy Jones Interview tubegroover, if you reread my post you’ll notice I thought better of what I had said about Jones’ music, and beat the 30 minute clock.My beef with Jones’ opinion of the early Beatles musicianship is his (and a lot of other people’s) underlying ass... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview I like people who are opinionated, and/or have a point of view. But The Beatles the WORST musicians in the world? Jones has obviously never heard The Shaggs ;-) . It takes advanced technique to play Jazz really well, other musics not so much. Just... | |
| Vintage Turntable: AR Es-1 vs Denon DP-60L I went directly from an AR ES-1 to a VPI HW-19 Mk.1, with my Rega RB300 on both. I was immediately sold on the higher-mass platform of the VPI design. HW-19's are available for no more than what ES-1's go for. The Mk.1 had a 1" thick aluminum plat... |
