| SVS to JL Audio A good comparison---both excellent subs. Another in their class is the Rythmik F15HP, which HAS been compared to the SB13 Ultra. I don't recall where I saw the comparison, but of course a Google search will bring it up | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? Diamonddears, I'm no mechanical engineer, but a spring has a resonant frequency (it's "rate"), above which it isolates whatever is sitting on it from whatever the spring itself is sitting on, and below which it does not---the mechanical energy pas... | |
| Proportion of expenses I hate to be first, but I just happened to log on and find this, so here goes:The common wisdom is to start with the source and work your way downstream. The further upstream in a system, the more important the quality, as what is not passed on fr... | |
| What do you do when you live hours from nowhere Where ARE you located? I've wondered what it would be like to be in, say, Montana, or N. Dakota. Then again, for all I know there are thriving pockets of underground activity in unlikely places! | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Shadows in the Night is the first Dylan album I have not bought upon release since I started buying his in '68 (John Wesley Harding), and I have no intention of ever doing so. I don't care for that style of music, or Sinatra. No offense, Sinatra l... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Right nonoise, Mostel and Wilder were much better in the movie (a favorite of mine) than the two guys were in the Broadway show, imo. The show I referred to above is entitled "Hamilton", and the writer and main-character performer is Lin-Manuel Mi... | |
| R.I.P. David Bowie A Facebook "friend" (I know him from the record business) tonight posted that Bowies death is the greatest loss to music since John Lennon. Really? I responded with a list of the musical people who have died since 1980, reminding him of each of th... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Just this past Sunday, the last story on 60 Minutes was a segment on a Broadway Musical that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton set to Rap/Hiphop. I understand completely if that sounds silly to you, but I'm here to tell you I dug it. Written b... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? The "white suit" era---that's what they are pictured in on the original U.K. pressing (there was no U.S. release at the time) of the "Live In London" LP (1968). After they signed to Reprise in 1970 they put out a few good albums (Sunflower, Surf's... | |
| Most of us have this in our collections .... Exactly oregonpapa, musical. Plus, ask any drummer and he'll tell you how hard "Take Five" is to play well. Hard, really hard. Not just technically, but with the right feel. An elusive thing, feel. | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Hehe! | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? tostadosunidos---It was precisely because of their surfing/cars/girls lyrics that The Beach Boys were considered so uncool to like in the late 60's-early 70's (though not by my friends and I, and perhaps you, if you're old enough!). They were view... | |
| Most of us have this in our collections .... Not me, but I did see drummer Joe Morello with guitarist Bola Sete in '67. | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi Dylan's 60's albums are available as Mono LP's on both Sundazed and Sony. Whether or not the upcoming MF versions are better than either remains to be heard. | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Amongst my peers (Americana/No Depression/roots types), it is not politically correct to like Shania Twain. Steve Earle called her "The highest paid lap dancer in Nashville"! I don't care, I like her records. Yeah, it's not really country---it's P... |
