| Most overrated bands For what it's worth, the only words Dylan spoke to the audience were to thank Beck, and to say "He's going to be around a long time", something along those lines and very close to it. Dylan played five nights in a row at a small theater in L.A., w... | |
| Most overrated bands Just about anyone is going to suffer opening for a Dylan audience. I saw Beck try in 2001, with the to-be-expected results. He came off as a complete lightweight, a little kid playing in a man's world. I felt sorry for him, but he should have know... | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers. Restored Quad ESLs. Both great speakers for chump change, they embarrass far more expensive ones. | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers One advantage of the 3.6 is that it can be bi-amped. It has that advantage over the 3.7 as well. None of the .7 Maggies can be bi-amped, as their crossovers are series, not parallel. | |
| What makes a good tonearm? Check out the Audiomods arm. Made in the UK by a master machinist, who uses only the Rega 303 arm tube, all other parts made by himself. A very interesting set of design choices. | |
| Financial bind and need a nice XLR Mogami Gold Studio cables are available at Guitar Center. 3', 5', 10', 15', 20', 50' lengths for a pittance. Pro recording studios use them for their microphones. | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Poor Erik. He's lucky enough to have had parents who chose the cool spelling of the name, only to have so many here call him by the lesser spelling. Yours truly---Eric. | |
| GroOove Lube. Does it work? Stylast, as well as the LP Preservative and other products from The Last Factory, is hardly junk, but rather well-engineered products by a chemist and LP archivist. Last products are used by The National Archives in Washington, D.C., hardly fools.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? No reubent, I'll look Butch (and Buick 6) up. I saw her last night (Monday) on Seth Meyer's show, singing with Steve Earle. I don't know if that was her band or his, but they were real good, including the drummer, whom I loved. Lucinda didn't look... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Oh man, reubent, Marty is SO great, and His Fabulous Superlatives one of the very best bands in the world. I first saw and heard guitarist Kenny Vaughan (who has a solo album) live with Lucinda Williams, and he's a fantastic player. Drummer Harry ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? pehare---I did! Music Millennium had in on LP, which I went for. Haven't played it yet, though. I have so much waiting to be heard! | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? Magneplanar MG30.7, or Music Reference Direct Drive ESL, or Sanders Model 10e. Santa's choice. | |
| shrink wrap film residue- how to remove As I am currently out of Bestine, I recently used Goo Gone to remove some tape residue. It worked fine, and didn't damage the painted surface I applied it to. Try it, as falconquest suggested, in an inconspicuous location first. | |
| IsoAcoustics speaker isolation stands...Thoughts Excellent. maplegrovemusic! I called my Guitar Center about the Pucks, as they are an IsoAcoustics dealer. The numbskull kid had no idea what I was talking about, and was not the least bit interested in finding out. | |
| What is it that you don't like about your speakers ? Magneplanar Tympani IVa's. They need a larger room than I currently have. |
