| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. Yeah, Al! The first version I heard of "Train Kept A Rollin’ " was in 1965, that by The Yardbirds with of course Jeff Beck on guitar. It’s a great version, and I was amazed in 1977 when I heard a version I liked even more, that of The Rock ’n’ Rol... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. The original Rockabilly artists, like The Rock 'n' Roll Trio (Johnny Burnette and his brother Dorsey, along with Telecaster guitarist Paul Burlinson, a favorite of Jeff Beck). There are hundreds of others, released on small, independent, regional ... | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? The problem with The Beatles music---whether on original Parlophone LPs (which I have), the recent mono LPs (which I also have), CDs (yup)---is that the recordings themselves are rather mediocre. George Martin was a fine producer, and EMI had grea... | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Right Marty, and power amps too. Didn't he make those V-8 amps that George Cardas has in his system? | |
| Sentimental song. I gotta get me some more Gauthier, slaw. She’s my favorite "new" discovery. Some other songs I always go to are a couple by Brian Wilson, "God Only Knows" and "In My Room", and "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted", sung by either Jimmy Ruffin (orig... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Good choice, rsf507. I've mentioned the Sanders ESLs in other threads, and love them myself. I heard them at the S. CA show a couple of years ago, and thought they provided the best sound at the show. | |
| A nice discussion of reviewers priorities. Art Dudley is such a good writer, he's enjoyable to read just for the writing. He really puts the music itself ahead of the "sound" of music, faulting gear that itself doesn't. It's a subtle distinction, since music is, after all, sound first.But ... | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation Lewm, I have an Audio Research LS-1 specifically for it's Mode switch, which offers Stereo/Reverse/Mono/Left/Right from it's main outputs. It's fun to switch between Left and Right on early Stereo LP's, like The Beatles. Vocals on one channel, ins... | |
| Sentimental song. "No Time To Cry" by Iris Dement, for any melancholy occasion. One of the few songs that, ironically, makes me cry. | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Oh good, Moore’s a talented engineer/designer. | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Bruce Moore is in San Jose, right? Isn't he himself still working? | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) VPI’s Harry Weisfeld recently stated in his blog that he feels the Eminent Technology LFT-8b has the most accurate midrange of any speaker he has ever heard. Unfortunately, it retails for only $2499, but with $15,000 you could always buy six pair ... | |
| SVS PB-16 Sub Rythmik has just introduced their FV18, a ported design with an 18" woofer, priced at $1699. Then there is their F25, a sealed design with dual 15's, at $1599. Due shortly is the FV18's sealed brother, assumingly the F18. Rythmik's are exceptional... | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation London offers a mono version of their unique pickup. | |
| A nice discussion of reviewers priorities. Yup, Art Dudley. The ability of a component to convey the musician’s "touch" is a very high priority for him. That, and the "forward momentum" of the music---PRAT. He no longer plays his LPs on a Linn Sondek turntable, but he’s a Linnie. Surprisin... |
