| interconnect choice If the cable is balanced with XLR's, Kimber's Silver Streak is as good as KCAG. The SS uses silver for both positive and negative legs, and copper for ground. The single-end/RCA version, on the other hand, has silver as the positive leg only, copp... | |
| Sonic Barrier damping sheets vs cork Why not good ol' Sorbothane? | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music Wow, good one lp2cd! I hereby rescind my Mary Gauthier suggestion, and admit that after considering what you said above agree she should not be considered Folk. But let me point out that the op's request was for suggestions of "acoustic Folk inspi... | |
| Technical question on phase inversion. To complicate matters, the drivers in many loudspeakers are wired in various states of inverted polarity relative to one another. Vandersteen famously are not, all drivers in them being wired in the same polarity and crossed-over with 1st order fi... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music The line between Folk, Hillbilly, and Bluegrass is not real clear. It's hard to know what someone else is thinking of when they say Folk. At one time it even included Rev. Gary Davis, Leadbelly, and Mississippi John Hurt. | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Ha! I watched the documentary Anderson Cooper did on his Mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Her second husband was conductor Leopold Stokowski, and there were some pics of him on stage, hair flying all over the place. I think that look was very common amo... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music Tift is so relaxed and comfortable live, isn't she Slaw? Saw her at the Troubadour opening for Lucinda---good show!One guy who "went" Folk after being in a Power Pop/Garage Rock band I liked a lot (The Plimsouls) is Peter Case. T-Bone Burnett prod... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Ah, the great Louis Jordan---good one Marty! He and Big Joe Turner were playing Rock 'n' Roll in the late 40's, and is what Elvis and the rest of them Southern white boys were listening to alongside their Hillbilly 78's. I played in a Jump Blues/S... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Yeah yeah, Mink DeVille! I saw him live once, also at The Roxy, and he was really cool---lotsa style, great voice. I love his version of Moon Martin's "Cadillac Walk". | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics That Straightdope thread was a good one, gh, I enjoyed it a lot. Lot's of good nominees, though kind of heavy on soloing rather than music making, but that's to be expected when guitarists or non-musicians list guitarists. Players known for their ... | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Slaw, Time Out of Mind is pretty amazing---"Not Dark Yet" absolutely hypnotic. But the sound is sooo bad (on CD, at least), like it’s coming from the bottom of a well. Musically, Lanois was after something Dylan didn’t particularly care for (he br... | |
| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics Jimi didn’t live long enough to hear the "best" guitarist(ask Les Paul if you don’t believe me ;-), Danny Gatton. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis---I'm with you on Sam Phillips. I didn't know she had been with Sutliff, a great music-maker from the N. Carolina scene, iirc. She has excellent taste in men, T-Bone now being an ex as well. I saw her at The Roxy in the late 90's, with T-Bo... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Big Mama Thornton, Wanda Jackson, Victoria Williams, Lene Lovich, Kate Bush, Loretta Lynn, Iris Dement, Aretha Franklin. | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Jesse Colter in her prime (pre-perm). She was Waylon Jennings wife, but had a career of her own. Rilly purty. |
