| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? The Grammy’s has always been about 1- promoting the music business, and 2- rewarding those who have generated the most money for the music business.For those looking for an event rewarding the making of superior music, there is the annual American... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I’ll go further, reubent. King Of America is my favorite of EC’s (in the same way that Full Moon Fever is my favorite Petty album). Nice full, warm acoustic rhythm guitar parts (giving it an Everly Brothers sound), a more relaxed, "Southern" feel ... | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) I could probably add another voice or two every day for quite awhile (I love female voices), but above left out a few that simply MUST be included: Aretha Franklin, Arlene Smith (of The Chantels---you have GOT to hear her sing "Maybe"), Brenda Lee... | |
| Multiple copies of the same album? In the late 60’s/early 70’s, record companies were deleting from their catalogs the mono versions of LP’s. All through the 60’s, LP’s were offered in both formats, the stereo version selling for a dollar more, mono going for around $3, stereo $4. ... | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp There’s a K & K Maxxed Out Phono on Audiogon right now, priced at $2000. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? In the technical section of his Rythmik Audio website, designer Peter Ding makes his case against passive radiators in subwoofers. | |
| Done buying new vinyl Do I have the numbers, realthing? In my post above, it was I asking you for the data to support your statement "all (?) modern source material being digitally recorded/mastered". Remember, I did NOT say your statement is false. I myself have never... | |

| Done buying new vinyl "all (?) modern source material being digitally recorded/mastered". The "(?)" is well-deserved. Who says "all" modern source material is digitally recorded/mastered? | |
| Did you know....? The Beach Boys are pictured wearing Pendleton shirts on the cover of their 1st album, Surfin' Safari. The shirt was popular with surfers and surfer-wanna-be's at the time, which was a factor in them choosing that as their name. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Well audiozen, Clapton and George Harrison were very close, so Eric may in fact have played on another White Album song. But he talked about how amazed he was that George invited him along to a session one day, and how "wrong" it felt to be playin... | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Steve Earle quipped that Shania Twain was the highest paid lap dancer in Nashville. Good one, Steve! I fully understand why he feels that way, and share with him a distain for the high-gloss, "fake" Country music that gets promoted. In spite of th... | |
| Done buying new vinyl This is why guys like Michael Fremer are so valuable---he regularly reports on the sound of new pressings, of albums both new and old. On new pressings of re-issued old albums, he often compares the new pressing to an original, when possible. Of c... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers That is indeed Clapton on "WMGGW", but not on "Yer Blues". However, Clapton DID play guitar on the song when Lennon performed it in The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus live show.An interesting Beatles song, guitar-credit wise, is "The End". Th... | |
| NOS tubes Tim deParavicini (EAR-Yoshino) told me old tubes are better because the people making them did so as a career, with a lot of experience under their belts before they were promoted to the position of making them. To the people making them today, do... |
