| 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? | |
| Does anyone use a tuner? Yup Nonoise, Lake Oswego is still here, though my sis tells me it's known by some locals as Lake no negroes ;-) . And the anti-California transplant sentiment is alive and well. Since my sis has been here since 1971, I have an out. Actually, I liv... | |
| Does anyone use a tuner? Me too, nonoise. I'm new to the Portland (Oregon) area, and Bernie's really popular here in the Northwest. Portland's slogan---on buildings all over town---is "Keep Portland weird" ;-). I was a little uncomfortable, however, with the "All lives ma... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I just saw that Dylan's "Love And Theft" is coming out on LP on December 8th, a double disc on Columbia. Great album imo. How are current Columbia pressings (I've never bought one)? | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Steve, I’m a long-time Decca/London pickup user, on-and-off since 1972. I have had a Super Gold Mk.7 mounted on a Zeta arm (which replaced a Cardas-rewired Rega 300), itself bolted onto a Townshend Audio Elite Rock (Mk.2) table for awhile now. The... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report I really, really liked Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. At first. But there was something about them, or more correctly, about him, that didn't wear well with me. I at first just lost interest, eventually coming to actually dislike him. I know a... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! prof---While MDF is cheap and easily obtained, it’s not a very good material for a shelf. Think about it; MDF is sawdust and glue mixed together---somewhat non-resonant, but not very stiff. 13-ply Baltic Birch ply (19mm, or 3/4" thick) is very sti... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? I don’t know yet Steve, the arm just left the UK yesterday. It will be here in about a week. I too am an admirer of Jeff Spall’s Audiomods Arm, one I recommend anyone in the market for a very high-value pickup arm at least checkout. I would rather... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Steve (williewonka), I happen to have just done that. I had Vic at Trans-Fi install a pair of the KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA’s (that I sent him) on the ends of the 1-piece silver loom with which he wired the Terminator Arm he was making me---Eric. |
