| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! @larsman: Yeah, The Rumour were great. Graham Parker's albums with other bands aren't nearly as good as those with them. And then guitarist Martin Belmont went to work for Nick Lowe, playing in his band for quite a while (he was with Nick when I s... | |
| upgrading from Spica TC60's to ?? How about a pair of Vandersteen 2's (of any vintage)? | |
| Turntable recommendation First of all, what are your plans as far as buying LP’s (please don't call them "vinyls". Records is fine ;-)? And what music do you like and listen to? If your disposable income limits your LP budget, and you are intending to buy only new LP’s, a... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I forced myself to watch all nine hours of that boring, boring movie. And the music heard merely reaffirms my opinion of the Let It Be album: Dreadful, absolutely unlistenable. They peaked with the Revolver album. That damn sitar ruined George as... | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! Oh, and earlier in the week I found all the following in the dollar bin at one of my LRS: - Emmylou Harris: Last Date. - The David Bromberg Band: Reckless Abandon. - Les Paul & Mary Ford: Swingin’ South, an album focusing on music fro... | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! @tony1954: And perseverance. I have two used LP stores and an antique "mall" a ten minute drive from my house that I check in with weekly. Admittedly prices aren’t as low as they were in the pre-Discog days. Yesterday at one of them I saw a Tony R... | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? @danager and @blisshifi: One of the "tricks" with some Maggies (many line source designs, in fact) is to adjust toe-in so that the midrange and tweeter drivers are in phase with each other. In the manual for my Tympani T-IVa's, Magnepan advises ho... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: I pre-ordered the Marty Stuart LP, and for some reason it isn't arriving until Tuesday (coming from Texas and through Colorado). That's the last time I pre-order! | |
| Tune of the Day Great choice @curiousjom! I first heard "I’m Just A Country Boy" on Albert Lee’s fantastic 1979 album Hiding, but Albert and the rest of Heads Hands & Feet had first recorded the song for their self-titled 1971 album (the version you named). A... | |
| Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music For those who---like I---love counterpoint, the Bach Concerto For Four Harpsichords is the most intense and insane example of it you will ever hear. Yes, keeping the four strands of musical lines separate is work, but it's a labour of love (no ref... | |
| New In 2023 Me too @jafant, and of The Flamin' Groovies! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Ooh, great band @jafant! Which album? They had back-to-back albums produced first by Nick Lowe (T-Bird Rhythm) then Dave Edmunds.(Tuff Enough), both fantastic. | |
| Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music No. When it's really good, I feel like the music is transported into me. When I heard Ry Cooder play his little guitar solo in John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset" live with Little Village, time ceased to exist. I had a cosmic out-of-body experience, a... | |
| A Serious Subwoofer The Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer is a much more elegant solution, and takes up far less space. $23,000 buys you 130dB response down to 1Hz. | |
| Picture worth a penny LOL!!!! "Men’s feet should not be seen in public." I can’t remember where or when I saw that opinion expressed in print, but it aligned exactly with mine. |
