| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo My taste runs to "musical" guitarists, ones whose both song parts and solos serve the music, not just show off their chops. Call me old fashioned! I wear the badge proudly. There are many examples of extraordinary guitar playing where the part gre... | |
| 10" subwoofer around $500, used or new? Why settle for a 10" when for $539 shipped you can get a Rythmik L12, with not only a 12" woofer, but a servo-feedback controlled one?! | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability I like Kevins videos, and that he rides a bike (the kind with a motor ;-). A down-to-earth guy, devoid of high-end snobbishness. | |
| Magic Moments in listening I so love hearing people to whom music means so much speak of those "special" songs, the ones that are deeply felt and personal. I have such songs, the ones that take you back to a particular period in your life, or that briefly, for the length of... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 imdoc---akg_ca’s repost included a few assertions (well, a lot more than a few, and I didn’t make it through the whole thing :-) that must be disputed.1- "it is virtually impossible to build a really good subwoofer for under $1000. Yet most of the... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Most record cabinets sit on the floor. The EKET can, but doesn't have to. As mentioned above, Ikea offers a 4-legged base for the EKET which raises it 4" from the floor, plenty high enough for me. The base is pictured on the Ikea website for anyon... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design And potentially the 4th of July for the ARC owner. ;-) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A great album. reubent. The vinyl of the original 1970 pressing was a "mottled" splatter of colors, gray and pink mostly. Is the reissue as well? Great songs, great musicians (including the amazing drummer Jim Gordon, of Derek & The Dominoes).... | |
| New in 2017 MoD on SACD! Gotta get me one. It was Jim KELTNER who was in Little Village of course, not Jim GORDON. They were good friends and L.A. studio drummers, Ry Cooder arranging his recordings around Keltners availability, he's that good. They were both... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Exactly so Spencer. I have a dedicated room and answer to no one but myself, but I have a fairly developed sense of aesthetics myself, and a desire for a nice looking environment in which to listen to music. I don't have to build any "real" bass t... | |
| Owens Corning 703 vs. Roxul Safe 'n' Sound? Spencer---Man are you right about there being a lot of great info about acoustics and rooms from Ethan Winer on Audio Asylum! I did a search there using his name, and the first page came up with 200 threads, and that was just the first page! I got... | |
| New in 2017 I got to see Little Village (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Gordon) live on a soundstage in Burbank, and it was just incredible seeing and hearing John sing and Ry play guitar up close. They did "Lipstick Sunset" from Johns Bring The Family... | |
| Subpanel/Isolation Transformer/Dedicated Lines Yup Bill, Country/Hillbilly without any trace of Pop, Rock, or other derivatives mixed in to make it more palatable to those who distain the "nasal twang" of the real stuff. You know, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, Hank Snow, Ernest Tub... | |
| New in 2017 Yeah jafant, it’s nice. If you don’t have Rodneys Houston Kid album, it’s absolutely stellar, the equal of John Hiatts Bring The Family, which for me is about as good as it gets. Rodney wrote a book related to the subject matter of the album (auto... | |
| getting into vinyl Frank just said it, but let me emphasize his advice by repeating it: The VERY first thing you should do is buy a good record cleaner. Once an LP groove (each side of an LP is one long continuous groove, from beginning to end) has been damaged, the... |
