| 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. What does it mean? The thing about "horn bands" is that, since the horn players are full members of the band, it is apparently felt that they must play on every song, whether or not the song benefits from them doing so. Whereas The Beatles in their later years would... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Top this Slaw: One day in 1972 I came home and found my two dogs gone from the yard. I went to the pound (as they used to be called) every day looking for them, but no Reddy or Belle Isle (as in the Dylan song on Self Portrait). I was heartbroken.... | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: The first Bee Gees album is great. | |
| Thorens TD 150 super rebuild A Townshend Rock Elite with a Zeta arm, Ray, which uses the Linn mounting distance. The table came with a pretty thin, stamped steel mounting plate, so I cut an armboard from a slab of 1/4" acrylic. Carbon Fiber would be even better, I imagine. | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Planar dipole speakers benefit more from diffusion behind them than absorption, assuming they can be 5' or more in front of the wall behind them. That allows them to create the very deep and huge sound stage of which they are capable. | |
| 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. What does it mean? Blood, Sweat, & Tears, and then Chicago (who sprung up in the wake of the success of B,S,&T), were really a Godsend for the guys playing horn in the High School marching band. Historically considered squares/nerds, it was suddenly okay to ... | |
| The Blankets Were Good, But... If what GC sells is Sonex-type foam, beware. Over time it decomposes, leaving a crumbly, sticky mess. | |
| Is this a disgrace to the Industry ? $599?! Nice margin. For that price you can get a real record player, not this toy. | |
| Voltage source vs. current source amplifiers Ralph Karsten (atmasphere) has discussed this subject in depth here. Do a search of the topic, and look for his contributions. | |
| Which pre should I choose? "Warm" I get, but wth does "thick" mean? "Not to (sic) fast sound"? You want a "slow" sounding pre? So, a warm, thick, and slow sounding pre. That should be pretty easy to find, and cheap! | |
| I'll Take "Songs About People" for $200 Not Robbie Robertson, onhwy61. He’s a capitalist through and through, and doesn't believe in sharing the wealth ;-). Maybe Rick Danko---he found and rented BP, in which he, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson lived (Levon Helm was still in the Gulf, ... | |
| 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. What does it mean? What does it mean? It means you’re taking Robert Lamm (the songs writer) way yonder too seriously. ;-) | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Gotta be the single-panel Maggies, Wolf. But the old 3-panel Tympanis have plenty of bass, and of a very high quality There are people using the two bass panels of Tympanis as woofers, and even as subs!QUAD ESL’s have even less bass than Maggies, ... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Oh yeah, Mary Gauthier is a fairly new discovery of mine. I have a couple albums of hers, still have to get the one produced by T-Bone Burnett. | |
| Magneplanar MG 3.6 / R Check with the guys over at the MUG forum (Magneplanar Users Group). It's part of the Planar Speaker Asylum. |
