| 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... | |
| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? Oh yeah lj, Trap Door may be my fave of T-Bone's too. I got to see him perform solo in the Sony Records office in L.A. in the late 90's, just him with an acoustic guitar. Intimate! Sam Phillips was with him, but didn't sing any harmonies. I didn't... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? reubent, what’s LRS? (I’m guessing something Record Store). Did you get This Sweet Old World on LP or CD? Some people mean LP when they say record, some don't! Amazon sells the CD for about $12, the LP for $25. I just ordered a bunch of CD’s from ... | |
| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? Ah yeah lj, T-Bone's s/t album on MCA is fantastic both musically and sonically. I used that album as demo material for years. Did you know it's a digital recording? Proves it's possible! His Truth Decay album is great too, but very different musi... | |
| Rythmik subwoofer elf, if and when you want to spend more to get more, keep in mind that above a certain level, room integration will have more of an effect than the sub(s) it(them)selves. If you go to the Rythmik section in the AVS Forum, there are quite a few com... | |
| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? Man, what is with Daniel Lanois? The productions of his sound like they were done at the bottom of an empty well. I hate what he did to Dylan on Time Out Of Mind. Did his success influence the sound engineers now try to get?pops, I really like T-B... | |
| Racks made of wood There is a way to mix the properties of high mass (with which prof has had success) with that of the low-mass Ikea Lack table. What the Lack does, by way of it’s low mass, is not absorb, store, and later release very low frequency energy, which is... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I was afraid of that, reubent. When I saw and heard her singing with Steve Earle recently on TV, Lucinda was a mess, and sounded drunk. Which is a shame; I like the band sound she had developed since the time of the original SOW. The sound on that... | |
| Rythmik subwoofer At it's price, the e110 SHOULD be better than Rythmik's entry level sub! That's like comparing a Toyota Corolla to a BMW 3-series. | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... I don't know how they compare, but since Ralph says they are similar:Frank Van Alstine at one time, and perhaps currently, offered an update/mod for the Dynaco PAS (2 and 3) pre-amps. Very reasonably priced, and a nice, very quiet, little tube pre... | |
| KLE Innovations Silver HarmonyRCA's - not silver eh? Because of their nylon barrels, the KLEI may look "cheap" in comparison to the gold-plated brass ones used by most other RCA plug makers. But their sound sure isn't! The other good RCA's are the WBT Next Gen, which are similar in design. With them... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? "The" best? That's easy: the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub. A dipole speaker with a dipole sub---how ya gonna beat that?! And one employing servo-feedback ta boot! | |
| Tune of the Day Here’s the thread I was looking for! (on which to recommend Lucinda William’s song "Essence"). Ah well, here’s another I love: Marshall Crenshaw’s "Dime A Dozen Guy", from his #447 album. Another is his recording of the Byrds "Have You Seen her Fa... |
