| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? John, it’s just like anything else; there are good horn loudspeakers, and not so good. They got their bad reputation from the PA designs of the "dark ages" (1940’s-50’s). The old Altec A7 was a very popular PA loudspeaker (my teenage band had a pa... | |
| Medium Mass or Low Mass Tonearms? tzh21y---Don't worry about your LP's; a mismatch between an arm's moving mass and a cartridge's compliance results in, not groove damage, but, as others are pointing to here, a too-high or too-low resonant frequency. What WILL cause groove damage ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another guitarist infamous amongst his peers is the late Danny Gatton. He played Jazz, Hillbilly, Blues, Rockabilly, you name it. Vince Gill nicknamed him "The Humbler". An astounding talent who decided to leave this world ahead of schedule. His g... | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Atmasphere? I feel like Rodney Dangerfield! ;-) | |
| On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch? Roger silk screens the tube biasing info on his amps top plates, so that in fifty or a hundred years they can still be optimized. Built to last, and sound real good long after more fashionable amps have been long dead, their many owners having fin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Amen, Orpheus. Ry Cooder is in my Top 10 guitarists of all-time list, and I know a lot of musicians---guitarists or otherwise---who feel the same. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system One great thing about the LFT-8b is that it's low 180Hz x/o frequency allows it to be used with a high-quality sub in place of it's stock woofer. Then a good tube amp can be used on the midrange magnetic-planar midrange driver and tweeter, which p... | |
| Malcolm Young...... Three great guitar sounds, shadorne! I’m working with a guy now who plays a White Falcon, and it sounds just fantastic. I knew a guy who had a Rickenbacker 360 12-string, and that darn thing was impossible to keep in tune. Fine for recording, but ... | |
| On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch? Oops, sorry again Tony! I found the correct number which Roger gave me, the 415 Area Code one. I'll be in touch about the tubes---Eric. | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? My pleasure, h-n-t-b! Vic is running low of his silver litz wire, the longest length he had left for my Terminator being 90cm. Luckily that’s enough for me, as my phono stage is right below my table. I can not believe people are still putting RCA ... | |
| Mel Tillis...... Both John Fogerty and Dave Edmunds do a killer version of Mel’s great song "I Ain’t Never". | |
| On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch? Oops, sorry Tony. Roger gave me the number! My call was in regard to buying some KT88's---Eric. | |
| Malcolm Young...... Yes, Steve! Just enough "crunch", but not too much. Maybe it was those Gretsch guitars Malcolm preferred. Gibsons can easily sound too thick, with too much sustain. The best rhythm guitar sound I ever played with in a band was a Gibson Les Paul Jr... | |
| Malcolm Young...... Robbie Robertson has said he used the playing of Pops Staples as his model for his playing in The Band. Robbie’s guitar "song parts" (as apposed to solos, the abilities at which being how most people access guitarists abilities) are supremely musi... | |
| On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch? Though the Santa Barbara phone number still works (I spoke with Roger just three days ago), Music Reference has moved it's operations to the bay Area---Oakland or Berkeley, I believe. You can talk to Roger's right hand man Tony at (702)540-2723. M... |
