| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters For accurate information on the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Subwoofer, read Peter Moncrieff’s IAR review of this revolutionary (no pun intended ;-) product. | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? Good points frogman, but remember, there ARE electric basses without frets. Rick Danko played a fretless Ampeg electric bass in The Last Waltz, and it was a hollow-body ta boot. Jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius played a fretless Fender electric, and if... | |
| The best books on music Thanks for the tip Schubert. I like the conducting of Gardiner very much, so it’s a must-read for two reasons. If my library doesn’t have it I’ll even buy a copy! When I finish it, I’ll move on to your recommendations folkfreak. One can’t have too... | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? With all due respect Bill, John is not right. I’ve played with a few stand-up bass players (plus a "stand-up electric bass" player, but that's another story), and you’re right, a stand-up sounds very different from an electric. A good way to appra... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Note to minorl: Shadorne's post was a sarcastic joke ;-). Get it now?! | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? John Atkinson is still happy with his LP12. But then, he calls an electric bass a "bass guitar" ;-) . | |
| Speakers & Electronics - Matching Components - Your Evolution Good Lord that's a lotta systems! Why so many? Bored with same old same old? Or just hard to satisfy? | |
| How "Tribal" are we? I would say everyone here is so out of a deep love of music, first and foremost. Everything else is mere details---each of us chooses equipment that provides us deeper immersion into the music, and visa versa. Music lovers are not necessarily (and... | |
| Good Bass Recordings on CD for Subwoofer Testing Good one stringreen. I have three versions of Saint-Saens 3rd Symphony on LP, perhaps they are also available on CD: Marek Janowski on Harmonia Mundi France, Jean Martinon on Angel, and Georges Pretre, also on Angel. It is indeed hair raising musi... | |

| When System Improvements Are Marginal I've found that the character of a piece is more readily apparent when it is removed from a system after having been in place for a while, rather than when it is first inserted. By that time you have listened to a lot of music through it, and have... | |
| Best Drum Solos My pleasure, ghosthouse. There are plenty of other drummers with highly developed technique, but that alone is no guarantee of good drumming. It is that ability in combination with musical creativity and good taste that makes Gadd the drummer he i... | |
| Which components are "stupid good"? Clear Day Double Shotgun Speaker Cables. Ingress Engineering RollerBlocks. | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? I remember when I learned of the LP12. It was in the middle of 1974, and the table's retail price was $300! I had a Thorens TD-125 Mk.2 (with an SME 309 Series II Improved) at the time, and almost bought a Linn for myself. | |
| Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results Thanks for the report, Howard. Another great pairing with the London/Decca pickups is any of the Townshend Audio Rock turntables, with any arm of one’s choosing (the FR64/66’s being favorites, along with the Zeta). The damping trough inherent in t... |
