| Best Country/Rock - Poll Hell yeah pehare! Mighty fine album, produced by the great Buddy Miller. A+! Solomon’s early albums were produced by another great, Jerry Wexler, and the band on those records is the fantastic Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, the best studio band in ... | |
| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? For the same price you can get a used pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b’s, the best-kept secret in hi-fi. New price $2499, used maybe $1500. Better than not just the .7, but the 1.7 as well. Honest. | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... See what the cable maker(s) say. | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I don’t want anyone listening with me, intently or otherwise. Is that sad? I want to become one with the music, it totally inhabiting my soul. If there is anyone else in the room (which has only a single chair anyway---for me), that’s not gonna ha... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good hifijones---Did you get to see Rockpile live? Oh baby!Too fun, here’s yet more:Howlin’ Wolf: Moanin’ In The MoonlightBig Joe Turner (Doc Pomus: "Rock and Roll would not have happened without him". I myself consider him the first R & R singer):... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? $100-$150 fuses ;-). | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd True in theory Ralph, but in practice for a speaker to, say, be appropriate for Rock music I would say it has to be able to play LOT louder than it does to be able to play solo harpsichord music. I have Quad 57's for Baroque, but they are unsuitab... | |
| Dynamics In A Speaker Isn't sensitivity/efficiency a huge factor in a speaker's perceived dynamicism (is that a word ;-?)? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? I believe I already offered this one, but it bears repeating, especially as my bother-in-law has just been diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, with six months to live.From the hillbilly genius Hank Williams:"No matter how I struggle and strive... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? The only guys spending 10k on speaker cables have already spent far more than that on amps and speakers. Hey, I'd love a pair of 8' Kimber KS 6068's, but they retail for more than my entire system! | |
| Tube Amp for about a grand? Check with Frank Van Alstine. | |
| Pet Sounds at 50--NPR video Great little documentary! When Brian plays the chords to "God Only Knows" (my absolute number one all-time favorite song) on the piano, without the other parts you can really hear how incredible the chords are. Just insanely great, music as good a... | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. Don’t forget, the original Quad ESL was available back then, and so were good tube electronics, the Thorens TD-124 turntable, and the Decca cartridge. So a highly transparent, uncolored system was available, though only the audiophiles and early h... | |
| Treasure KT120z vs NOS GEC KT88 Tube expert Roger Modjeski also feels the new Gold Lion 88's are even better than the originals. He supplies them stock in his RM-200 amp. | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Absolutely, pehare! I have a few collections of their stuff, plus the Satan Loves Sin (!) album. The Everly Brother sure didn’t invent close 2-part harmony, but they (along with Buddy Holly, with whom they were close friends) did mix it with the n... |
