| Speed variance study with a Phoenix Roadrunner Thanks Ray. Are you referring to U.S. Audiomart? I don't see a Roadrunner there, though there is a "Wanted" ad for one. | |
| Best divorce album? While Buddy Harmon may have lived in a suburb of Nashville, what his drumming is was superb ;-). | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers - Johnny Barbata, L. A. studio drummer turned Turtle, later in Jefferson Starship. Amazing song parts, and Buddy Rich liked his playing! His name is rarely mentioned, for a reason I don't understand.- Bobby Graham, British studio drummer who is he... | |
| Best divorce album? A great song, linnlingo, vocals by one of my favorite singers---the transcendent Tammy Wynette. And suburb, understated drumming by one of my favorites---the supremely musical Buddy Harmon. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers When the "chops" players and fans of that style playing starting badmouthing Ringo for his lack of technique, one of his fiercest defendants was a very technically accomplished player---Greg Bissonette, drummer in the Maynard Ferguson Big Band. Gr... | |
| Obscure brands worth considering There are some companies and their products that are both very well established and financially stable, yet still relatively obscure; Music Reference and Eminent Technology come to mind. Their products aren't reviewed much (models aren't "improved... | |
| Sellers increasingly overgrade records I was really p*ssed when Nitty Gritty had to discontinue First. Damned EPA! | |
| If you were to market a product, what would you do? There is nothing like a positive review from a critic with integrity (and a system suitable for your products). I would have Dick Olsher and maybe Art Dudley give your stuff a listen. | |

Really quiet, with the highest overload margin I’ve ever seen (take a look at Atkinson’s bench test report in Stereophile). According to Michael Fremer, a ... | |
| "Innovations" rooms at RMAF 2017 Have a locked room, with scheduled demonstrations. | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world There is no such thing as "a" best speaker. Wilson has become seen that way by some in the same way The Rolling Stones came to be considered "The best Rock 'n' Roll Band in the world" by some. That wasn't true either. | |
| Sellers increasingly overgrade records For Jazz enthusiasts, Atomic Records in Burbank California is an excellent source for LP’s. The owners (two brothers) are very knowledgeable in the genre, and, though perhaps not audiophiles, have high standards regarding sound quality, and have a... | |
| RIP John Bonham Dylan toured with The Band the following year (’74), and if you want to hear a Rock ’n’ Roll drummer who plays the music the way it should be played, listen to Levon Helm on those recordings. No gratuitous, narcissistic, immature, amusical showing... | |
| Subwoofer advice please The 57 worked stacked because it had a single tweeter panel with a bass panel to either side. Stacking turned a pair into a quasi-line source speaker.The 2805, on the other hand, is essentially a coaxial design, the sound emanating from the center... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Thanks 61. Levon Helm talked about The Hawks going and seeing Ray and his band in Montreal after they finished their nightly shows with Ronnie Hawkins. |
