| Pass Labs Son of a .....! I take my sister to the VA hospitals and clinics in Portland and Vancouver a few times a month---she was in the Navy, and is now partially-disabled. Ya’ll know the cuts in funding for services for working class people in the new fe... | |
| Pass Labs Montreal is where Ronnie Hawkins put together, one player at a time, many different incarnations of his backing band, The Hawks. The longest-lived of those was the one that included amongst it’s members Levon Helm, J.R. Robertson, Rick Danko, Rich... | |
| Time for Two Ways ! The original QUAD is both an ESL AND a two-way, of a sort. | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... Yup, that's a good one infection. I think it was on the tour in support of that album that I saw him live in '78, at The Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Nobody even remotely like him, though Tom Waits tries ;-). | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac I've noticed ASC products are not mentioned on Audiogon. Why is that---the higher prices? Their Tube Traps are "real" bass traps, unlike the flat panels from others. :-) | |
| Pass Labs Actually Charles, it really began with Roosevelt’s New Deal, which was a massive undertaking, at great cost, to save the U.S. from the great Depression. Republicans/Conservatives have been trying to erase it since the 1950’s!tubegroover, my sister... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Jerry, by the time I got to L.A. in '79, the town was awash in coke. It was passed around at parties like joints were in the 60's. I didn't see what the big deal was until one night when I finally got enough of it all at once. I liked it a little ... | |
| Tracks worth for a 1 Million system Unfortunately, Holt's law states that the better the music, the worse the recording, and visa versa. You have to consider good sound a pleasant surprise and bonus, not your main criteria. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Great, kinda glad I haven't sprung for the Townshends yet. Hope they're as effective. | |
| Pass Labs I sometimes share the bandstand with a piano player who is a hardcore Libertarian. I actually truly respect that political bent---limited government (including the lack of laws prohibiting personal behavior greatly disapproved of by many Conservat... | |
| Adding mass to a tonearm Some audiophiles claim to not care for the sound of lead, but if you're not one of them, small lead weights can be found at hobby and fishing supply stores. The ones at hobby stores can be had with self-stick tape on one side, for attaching to a h... | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... Ry was also the original guitarist in Captain Beefhearts Magic Band, on their first album. I believe he was all of 18! | |
| Pass Labs I agree tubegroover, Audiogon should be a politics-free zone. I myself would not start such a discussion, but once it’s going.....My use of the term Trumpster was a while back, not in this thread. Yes, the term is disrespectful---I do believe he h... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers What is the weight capacity of the ISO-PUCK? Competition to the Townshend Seismic puck! | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question I would schubert, but don't own a streaming device, whatever that is ;-). Such a luddite! |
