| Subwoofer What stringreen says is true for most speakers, none more so than planars. When you add a pair of subs to Magneplanar/Eminent Technology or ESLs, you remove the very low frequencies from the panels, decreasing their displacement and the resulting ... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" I went to see John on his Perfectly Good Guitar tour, and his opening act had just begun her last song as I entered The Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. As I listened, I thought to myself "Hey, this is a good song, she's a good singer, and this is a g... | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin Oh, okay, NOW I understand the premise! I’m probably less a fan of the "long-form" song than anyone else here, but there have been a couple I liked. Brian Wilson’s "Elements Suite" would have been a classic had it not gone down in flames, both fig... | |
| Now Keith Emerson is gone... Right you are tostadosunidos. I have a Columbia LP I bought new in 1970 of a live solo piano performance (recorded in the 1950's, I believe) of the original composition. A nice alternative to the orchestrated version. | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Not just in turntables, but in all components, the nature of the music being played is affected by the failings of the components comprising a system. Different examples of any given component have different levels of failings in different aspects... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" I actually consider the Slow Turning album superior over-all to Bring The Family. But they're both fantastic! | |
| What's happened to Taters ? He bought the 100 top selling Rap albums of all time, and has locked himself in his listening room. | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? It’s a moot question. Has any LP been offered in two versions, the only difference between them being the weight of the pressing? An LP offered in a 180 gram version is different from all other versions in ways other than just the 180 gram weight;... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Absolutely in the very top tier of working singer/songwriters today. | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin Rodney Crowell: The Houston Kid; Rosanne Cash: The List; Iris Dement: The Trackless Woods; Loudon Wainwright III: Last Man on Earth; The Fraternal Order of the All (Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman): Greetings From Planet Love; Bill Frisell: The Sp... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Twenty years experience shipping Vintage Drums via FedEx without a single instance of loss or damage. But I pack really well anyway; bubble wrap around each individual piece, cardboard between them all. I would never ship U.P.S., period. | |
| Subwoofer and 2 channel system - need to use crossover at all? One of the benefits of using subs is to relieve the main speakers the task of reproducing the deepest bass. The speaker’s woofers then produce the upper bass with less distortion at higher SPL, using less power. But inserting a x/o into the signal... | |
| Turntable isolation... Thanks for the report Slaw. Which of Geoff's springs did you get? | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Yes indeed Slaw. Musically too, with one of my very favorite guitar breaks of all time, Ry Cooder's on "Lipstick Sunset". | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Wolf, I saw the Jeff Beck Group on their first U.S. tour, and they were great. Ron Wood playing bass (a Telecaster!), Mickey Waller drumming, Rod Stewart singing. Jeff was really fantastic. |
