| Bob Dylan MoFi Slaw, your mention of the sound of Oh Mercy on LP has reminded of the fact that by the time that album came out, I was of the opinion that since LP's were in all probability being mastered from a digital source, there was no point in getting the L... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS I have no idea Geoff, and I am not questioning the claims of those who say they hear a difference. What I am doing is asking in all seriousness (snarking aside) how it is a fuse can possibly be directional while operating in an AC circuit. It is m... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Ooh ct, Trevor Pinnock is one of my favorite performers. I have a bunch by him; if you ever see any of his CRD LP's (UK label), get 'em. Lots of solo harpsichord of Bach, Scarlatti, etc. in incredibly high sound quality recordings. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Man, you guys are talking my language! Lots of great people listed here, particularly Don Dixon and Marti Jones, whom I love. I view Buddy and Julie Miller as the new Don & Marti---great songs, singing, playing, and production. Their music mak... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Now Geoff, could I ask you to explain how a fuse in an AC circuit can be directional? AC, you know, for Alternating Current. Ralph Karsten must have skipped that chapter in his electronics engineering books. Of course, perhaps they weren't "New Ag... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Good points Al. The only thing I would ad is that I myself am not comfortable installing fuses designed by someone unfamiliar with the concept of breaking capacity into my $5000 amplifier, and I am glad Roger brought the information about the Hi-F... | |
| Esoteric DV60 Actually, the word is the DV60 is actually inferior to the DV50s, as it's power supply, etc. was cheapened. | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Sheesh! There are only two issues I myself addressed:1- The claim of fuse directionality in an AC circuit is, as Ralph Karsten keeps saying, simply impossible. Of that there can be no dispute. None.2- In the case of, yes Joe, one amplifier being d... | |
| RIP Merle Harggard There's a video on You Tube of Merle and Willie in the studio recording the song "The World's Going to Pot". They're proving it by passing a joint back and forth as they overdub their vocals. | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Whether or not wire is directional is a separate matter from the directionality of fuses. Directionality of a fuse, in an AC circuit? AC, short for Alternating Current. That term is quite literal, and has explicate implications. We all agree Ralph... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Continental Drifters were (are?) a fantastic band! They did a residency at an underground (literally---it was in a basement) club on Hollywood Blvd. in the early-to-mid 90’s, playing every Monday night (iirc) for a long time. Everybody in L.A.... | |
| RIP Merle Harggard Right at the time one of his signature songs (Okie From Muskogee) was all over the radio, reflecting the extreme divide in the country between young and old, hip and square, stoned and straight, hippie and redneck, left and right (some things neve... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? I heard the Sanders at last year’s T.H.E. Show in Irvine cerrot, and loved ’em. One of the two best speakers at the show I thought, the other being the Marten Coltranes in the EAR-USA room. | |
| Sonic Barrier damping sheets vs cork I have a friend (Pete Curry, bassist/recording engineer in Los Straitjackets) who put down a cork floor (over concrete) in his studio. Sounds pretty good---cuts down on reflections, but is not too dead. So Geoff, how come no likey lead as mass dam... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS The pony I like is good engineering. It’s funny how the best engineers think alike about a lot of things, and respect each other’s work. For instance, Ralph Karsten (the atmasphere posting here, as most I’m sure already know), Mike Sanders, Tim de... |
