| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time I could make a list, but Zaikesman had it covered way back in 2002. His included some names I myself wouldn’t, but just about every one I would is there. I would not, however, list "Bob Dylan & The Band" as an integrated unit, but rather The B... | |
| Exotic vocal Lene Lovich. She sounds like she's from Mars. | |
| Best Live Recording on LP Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Where’s The Money? Fun, quirky music, good recorded sound. The following year’s studio album Striking It Rich is great too, with real good sound, "audiophile" almost.The Band: Live At The Academy Of Music 1971 (4 CD ... | |
| Canadian rock and roll Astro, I bought Music From Big Pink upon it's release in '68 on American Capitol, and the s/t album (the "Brown" album) on same in '69. In '70 I got hired at the best record store in San Jose (Discount Records, owned by Columbia/CBS at the time. T... | |
| Tune of the Day Great song Astro! And what an album, with great drumming by the stunningly good Jim Gordon (Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Derek & The Dominoes, Traffic). He went mad and killed his mother, and is now locked up. | |
| Canadian rock and roll If I could have only 100 albums, two of them would be the first two Band albums. If I could have only 10 albums, two of them would be the first two Band albums. If I could have only 2 albums, they would be the first two Band albums.If I'm buried i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? dgarretson---How is the sound of those three new BB SACD's? Those three albums (plus Sunflower) are real good ones from that period in their history. I see they are also available on LP; guess I'll have to choose between the two, 'cause I'll spend... | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? psag---I feel the same way about Cream live. I saw them twice, and they played the recorded opening version of many of their songs, then went into really extended improvisational take-offs. The problem was that, unlike really good Jazz ensembles, ... | |
| Magneplanar speaker terminals. is there an adapter to.... Sunnyjim---Or at least make the whole terminal assembly with non-magnetic parts, fer cryin' outloud! Steel, in the signal path?! | |
| Subwoofer hunt For more output than the E15HP (and F15HP, with a slightly larger enclosure) provides via it’s single 15" driver and 600w amp, Rythmik currently also offers the F25, with twin 15" drivers each driven by it’s own 400w amp. The E15, F15, and F25 are... | |
| Magneplanar speaker terminals. is there an adapter to.... One problem with the Maggy terminals is that some of the parts are ferrous. Getting rid of the whole terminal assembly reportedly greatly improves the sound of the speakers, but requires surgery. | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? I haven’t smoked in many years (makes me paranoid), but I knew someone who worked at a dispensary in ’07. One of the shop’s suppliers also had private, individual clients, to whom he would make home deliveries. One such client was a very well-know... | |
| REL high-level connection and McIntosh Autoformers The Rythmik PEQ3 plate amp also allows high-level hookup (along with line-level). | |
| Subwoofer hunt Good point af32. A good way to filter the very low bass from your main speakers without going through a x/o is with the simple installation of a capacitor (the value of which can be determined from the formula available all over the 'net) on the i... | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles I hear ya oleschool. Though getting a pair of those molded ear plugs made (which allow 5-10-15-20dB attenuation via little changeable discs) made in my early 30's, a certain amount of permanent damage had already been done (thanks Jimi!). My tinni... |
