| Top Ten Rock Vocalists Oh, well, with Van Morrison you're talking about something completely different from what I thought the topic was. Van Morrison---a Rock/Hard Rock/Metal/Progressive singer? I think of him as a Soul or R & B singer, one of a handful of Brits (o... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Curious that Bascom didn't mention another engineering fact of passives, that of their output impedance. The output impedance of passives varies with the setting of the volume control, often to a figure too high for the input impedance of some pow... | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case It wasn’t I who said the Brits play Blues "in the worst way", it was Sonny Boy Williamson! I myself like a fair number of them, if you include Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Yeah, Clapton, Page, and Peter Green, but also Albert Lee (not a Blues pla... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? The title of this post says it all. Normal people don’t refer to listening to music (or, more accurately, merely hearing it) as a "session", a distinct, dedicated endeavor. Music is just "on" while other, more important, things are done. Like talk... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Kenny, I understand your confusion. The subs Salk Audio offers are the standard Rythmik sealed (either 12" or 15"). Jim Salk installs the same DIY kit you yourself can buy from Rythmik, and installs it in his own larger (4cu.ft. vs Rythmik’s 3cu.f... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? If I had unlimited funds, I'd have Townshend Audio Seismic Pods under everything. | |
| "5 Records You Should Own" article I liked the first Steve Miller album when it came out (and the follow-up album Sailor even more), but it wasn’t anything like how they sounded when I saw them live the year before, when they were still named the Steve Miller Blues Band. The rhythm... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's Have you also tried their little thing that goes on the pickup arm headshell? | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case onhwy61---I hadn’t seen the video before, and was struck by how much better all the original versions are (except the Joan Baez, of course ;-). I first learned of LZ1 from a high school/now college friend (non-musician) who had heard it in the sch... | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case I myself was very happy when Willie Dixon won his lawsuit against P & P for their blatant thievery, and was awarded a healthy financial settlement. | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Your system suggests you would appreciate the sophistication of an OB/Dipole sub. A very unique one is available as a joint venture between GR Research and Rythmik Audio. The sub is not a normal Open Baffle sub, which are already unique enough, bu... | |
| Why do so many sellers not show the back of components...??? Get a load of the new listing today of an ARC LS26. There is now a pic of the faceplate, but when first posted, there was only the pic of the interior! | |
| XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable Ah ha, adg---a drummer. So you carry your own mics and mixer with you to gigs? That's a great way to get the balance you want. Most sound guys put the snare drum way too loud in the mix for my tastes. But then I usually play a brass-shell (Ludwig ... | |
| What is your favorite Greg Brown CD? The one he hasn't made yet---a duets album with his wife Iris Dement, my favorite singer. It could be like the ones George Jones and Tammy Wynette did, other favorite singers of mine. | |
| Speaker cables for paradigm studios Thanks milpai. |
