| Better Records vs MoFi For those who care, not all MoFi titles have gone through digital conversion. But as @slaw correctly pointed out, just as with almost all original pressings and reissues, the lacquers of the all-analogue MoFi LP’s are cut not from the master ta... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Likewise @rlb61. The others I somehow originally missed are Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. Better late than never! | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Danny Richie has a Dodd battery-powered pre-amp in his system, but not power amps. My tinnitus is bad enough that reducing system noise is of no benefit for me. 😭 | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Last Record Preservative contains a "binder" which bonds the PVC/etc. molecules together. The Library Of Congress uses the stuff. Walter Davies was the owner of the Last company, and co-creator of the Last products. He had earlier been an excellen... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @brev: I too love The Wilburys, imo the best group George Harrison was ever a member of. 😉 Speaking of them, why is drummer Jim Keltner not a considered a member? He was an equal partner in Little Village. | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. Tim de Paravicini's later (and still currently available) EAR-Yoshino pre-amps use far fewer tubes. The 868PL (phono and line) uses two tubes per stage, the 868L (line only) just a pair of 7DJ8's. The 912 uses the same two line stage tubes as the ... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Why versus only MoFi? Analogue Productions has reissued far more titles than has MoFi. And better titles, too. There are many other reissue labels doing better work than MoFi. | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Oops @slaw, the JA album was actually After Bathing At Baxter’s. While I’m at it, a coupla more corrections: The name of the strain in Ted is actually "This is permanent." Kristofferson’s first name is spelled Kris. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Yeah, seeing tat x/o would be of interest to me as well. Thigpen shows a diagram of his LFT=8b x/o with values on the ET website, so duplicating it with higher quality parts is not difficult. | |
| New In 2023 On September 1st, 7A Records releases two Dave Edmunds albums on colored vinyl LP's: Repeat When Necessary and Tracks On Wax 4. Both feature the playing of the entire Rockpile membership: Dave, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams. The alb... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! w_g: A bad trip is about a frightening experience as one can have in this life. When I had mine (on Lincoln’s birthday in 1968), the feeling of desperate terror was rapidly increasing just as Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow album was star... | |
| Effects Of Power Cords On Electrostatic Speakers Roger Sanders makes two different speaker cables: one specifically for ESL's, the other for planar-magnetics. | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Another thought came to me, but it was too late to get it in the above post. My hunger and search for superior songs is most efficiently addressed by going straight to songwriters themselves, many of whom are not in a band or group. John Hiatt... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @wolf-garcia: I appreciate how you differentiate between a jam band and a "studio" band. The latter tend to play songs live as they were performed on the original studio recording, treating instrumental "solos" as song parts, not as an excuse to d... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! When the Levon Helm Blues Band appeared at The House Of Blues in Hollywood in the late-90's, Little feat drummer Richie Hayward joined them onstage for a few numbers. The respect the two drummers had for each other was palpable.. |
