| 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. | |
| Thorens TD 150 super rebuild Hey Ray, have any of the carbon fiber left over? Any interest in cutting a tonearm mounting board out of it and make a little $? | |
| How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers? Plus, LS50’s are readily available used for around $1000. The UB5 is really built to a price point, using pretty crappy parts and cheap enclosures. Strictly a low-budget product. | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Anyone who has attended CES has seen Andy Singer strutting round with his chest puffed out, apparently considering himself a rock star. Embarrassing. | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos That blue DOES look mighty cool. By the way, I just started playing with a couple of guys (guitar and bass) who, though not audiophiles, know all about Telefunken and Bugle Boys, using them in their Fender amps, both vintage and new. They even kno... | |
