| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp When I had a pair of M-60’s powering my old Quads, I did exactly as Ralph recommends: the rear of each amp facing the back of each speaker, with a 1’ length of wire (silver Kimber) connecting the two. So much for cable makers who say with a straig... | |
| THE LITTLE BLACK BOX, 399.00 ABSOLUTLY NUTS Roger Modjeski at Music Reference will make you such a box for a fraction of $399. Remember The Mod Squad? When they were closing their retail store (Music By The Sea) they had a clearance sale (I bought Steve’s ARC SP-6b). While there, I asked Jo... | |
| Seamzeazy record jacket repair For getting glue residue from old, poorly executed seam repairs off, try Bestine, a liquid found in art supply stores. It removes the residue, but leaves LP jackets, hi-fi casework paint, etc. undamaged. | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection There is an upcoming Dylan release I AM really looking forward to: "Love And Theft", an album I love, on a double-LP, just announced by Sony for the near future. | |
| Dylan live Oops, when I said Larry (Campbell) could be seen and heard in recordings made "there", I was speaking of the videos made at The Midnight Ramble shows filmed at Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock. I never made it to one, though a friend and I had talke... | |
| Best looking reel to reel That was my impression also, onhwy61. The Crown’s had great transports, but their electronics had a bit of a hard, transistor glare. Poor parts, or mediocre design? I don't know, but Revox's just sound better. | |
| Dylan live Larry and his wife Teresa put out an album in 2015. He played with Levon Helm for years after leaving Dylan's band, and can be seen and heard in the recordings made there. Very talented guy. | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Livewire is a brand sold at Guitar Center, an "economy" version of Mogami and Canare. Really, really cheap. | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Not yet jafant, but I did look over the LP and CD boxsets at my record store during the week, and the double-disc releases as well. The boxsets contain a lot of material---unreleased songs, out-takes, live recordings. I really liked the Christian ... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Mogami Gold is about the same as Canare. Both are standard cables in pro recording studios. | |
| Dylan live Nope Geoff, not a word to the audience. I myself prefer that to show biz bs. I last saw Dylan in 2001 (on the "Love And Theft" tour) at The Pantages Theater in Hollywood, a great Art Deco room that seats only a couple thousand. Great show---Dylan ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? LOVE Planet Waves, reubent! The recording is unusual for the time, rather under-produced, with little "sweetening" and/or electronic processing, including reverb. And The Band are very sympathetic to Dylan's music, playing it the way it should be ... | |
| Veterans Day I’m putting my money where my mouth is, performing gratis tonight at a benefit for Vets, all proceeds going to a local organization. Vets, including my sister, can attend for free. | |
| Don't You Just Love It When... Cheap Trick reference Kiss in "Surrender". | |
| David Crosby If Only I Could Remember My Name Didn't Classic Records do a pressing of the album? |
