| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? Yup, noromance, next time the SG get's retipped it's gonna be with a Pratracer. I know London cartridge builder John Wright is very much in favour of that stylus. | |
| Tune of the Day Neil Finn gets taken for granted as a songwriter. To me he is sort of the British (or is Neil Welsh, Irish, or Scottish?) Marshall Crenshaw---great chord sequences (employing chords lesser songwriters aren’t even aware exist), melodies, harmonies,... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Speaking of famous drummers with famous drummer dads---Zak Starkey, while no Keith Moon (who is?!), is doing a great job in The Who. | |
| How does one (grow) as a music listener/lover? Great topic/subject. For years it was good FM radio stations (meaning College ones, generally), as well as looking for connections on album liner notes. Brian Wilson lead me to Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle, who lead me to Randy Newman's 1st, etc.The... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers A lot of older non-musicians think of John Bonham as the gold-standard in Rock drumming (younger ones Neil Peart ;-). For instance, this woman I’m seeing now; she has drug me out to see two Led Zeppelin tribute bands (tb are huge in the NW, for so... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. If a rack and components (or screen) MUST be between the speakers, one way to minimize the damage is to place diffusers on both sides of the rack(s) and/or screen, parallel to the side walls.

| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? I a London Super Gold as well, on a Townshend Rock table (Mk.2 Elite version). The arm of 10 years ago---a Cardas-rewired Rega RB300---is gone though, replaced by a Zeta.Other keepers are original Quad ESLs, a Revox A77, McIntosh MR78 and MPI4, St... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Damn slaw, you must have quite a music library! I don't know anyone else who has TNCB album. It got pretty much over-looked, I believe. I love it. | |
| Tune of the Day "Honkin' Down The Highway" on The Beach Boys under-rated Love You album. Much better than it's predecessor, the dismal 15 Big Ones. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The sole album by The Notorious Cherry Bombs, a Super Group if there ever was one. NCB members include Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Richard Bennett (an absolutely fantastic guitarist), Hank DeVito, Tony Brown (yeah, the bigtime producer. But rememb... | |
| Tune of the Day "Wait A Minute" by The Notorious Cherry Bombs, the Rodney Crowell/Vince Gill/Richard Bennett/Hank Devito/Tony Brown/Eddie Bayers Super Group. From the 2004 s/t album, an absolute classic chock full of great songs, singing, and playing. | |
| Fast Eddie Clarke has Passed 67, 'bout the same age as Petty. My generation ain't livin' long. A half dozen guys I've worked or played with have died in the past few years. | |
| Audio Research Factory Tour The original fans of Bill Johnson's designs, like the State-Of-The-Art SP-10 pre-amp and D-79 power amp, were dismayed when he handed over a lot of the ARC design work to Rich Larsen, who was largely responsible for the hybrid SP-11. That pre-amp ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? reubent, I don't have Chip & Carrie's live album, but I have their Red Dog Tracks, and Carrie's Seven Angels on a Bicycle, Good music! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great, reubent. I see the Written In Chalk LP in your future! The two Buddy & Julie albums are of a piece, the same but different, like The Band’s 1st and 2nd albums. Buddy’s guitar song parts and little solos are SO cool, and his production S... |
