| Your last concert was to see who and when? Richard Thompson is okay, but he's no Jerry Garcia ;-). Love Richard, seen him a few times, have all his albums, as well as all the Fairport Convention ones. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Without question, pigdog! Damn, now Garcia's not just good, or even great, but a genius? Guess we'll have to come up with a new term for J.S. Bach, Brian Wilson, and Hank Williams. If Garcia was a genius, what were they? I say were in regard to BW... | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... Mighty fine list, Marty. I just don’t have the energy right now to do my own. I'm exhausted from listening to Grateful Dead albums ;-). | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? Hey Geoff, as a ceiling is no more free from seismic vibration than is a wooden floor, what about this?: Build a structure that sits on the floor (like the frame of a children's swing set, except with two parallel top rods or beams), from which a ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I LOVE Self Portrait! I did when it was released, amused (and not surprised) that the Rolling Stone-type reviewers didn't get it. I was surprised by Dylan's literalness in the album title, literalness not something he's prone to. I find it to prov... | |
| Speaker Output for Subwoofer--Sounds Better Brian Ding gives you the choice of speaker level or line level on his Rythmik subs' plate amps. One advantage of speaker level is the lack of needing another line level output on your pre-amp/integrated amp/receiver. His personal recommendation is... | |
| Another Audiophile obituary His take on reality, which he insisted you share. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Elitisim, probably guilty. I prefer quality, no apology offered. Snobbishness? Absolutely not. I love and listen to Hillbilly (I consider Hank Williams a genius) and Classical (J.S. Bach is the father of Western Music). That I consider Danny Gatto... | |
| Another Audiophile obituary Peter was a bit of a self-righteous, smug a-h. Kind of like a recovering alcoholic who now lectures everyone on the evils of drinking. Alvin Gold, being British, really knew his hi-fi. I hope Ken Kessler writes a piece on him. | |
| Clint Eastwood I love Unforgiven, one of my favorite movies of the modern era. Gran Torino, too. Hard to believe he's a Republican ;-). | |
| Seller has not contacted yet. How long should I wait... A few weeks ago I did a Buy it Now, and the Audiogon system instructed me to wait for an invoice from the seller before making payment. When I didn't hear from him for a few days, I emailed telling him about Audiogons message to me, and asked for ... | |
| Seller has not contacted yet. How long should I wait... Patience, grasshopper. 12 hours not very much time---the seller most likely has a job and family requiring his attention, the auction being a low priority. Nothing to worry about---yet. | |
| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? Point taken, one and all. Music being so subjective and personal, there really is no point in arguing about it. I should take my own advice! Let me make two more comments, and I’ll shut up: 1- It has been my experience that a fan of Garcia is much... | |
| What did you own in the 60's? AR table w/ Shure M91e pick-up, Cecil Watts Disc Preener, Fisher X100 integrated (tubed, of course), AR 4ax speakers, Koss Pro-AA phones. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums If you get pods instead of platforms, you can put a pod under each front corner, and one in the middle of the rear. |
