| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? wolf, where do you recommend going for the Mullard 12AT7's? | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? donzi---What everyone is getting at here is that your Bryston amp and Thiel speakers are so good that they will make very audible the sound quality of the pre-amp you use. The problem is, it's going to be tough to find an active pre for $500 that ... | |
| Helpful and altruistic audio community members Great seller, great story! | |
| Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems... I would take the table and the LP into the store, play the album on your table and the store's "cheap system" for a comparison, and ask the staff to look for the problem (part of the price you paid for the table is for service). I'm assuming the s... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad tomcy6---I'm aware of all you said. But, Jimi went over to England as an unknown, where he was heard by Chas Chandler (bassist in The Animals), who signed him to a management deal. A British band was put together (drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassis... | |
| Stats Don't the Soundlabs ask a great deal of the amp hooked up to them? I've heard them sounding pretty good (in ESL terms, which means great in general speaker terms), but also with what sounded like amp clipping. And that was at CES, where you would ... | |
| Zerostat near cartridge? And the Furtech is on sale right now at one of the online retailers whose emails I receive. Music Direct? The Cable Company? Audio Advisor? I already deleted the email or I would look for it. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I have no doubt that Rap is viewed in certain circles as merely the current phase in the continuing downward spiral of Western Civilization, the dumbing down of humanity. Rock n' Roll was certainly viewed thusly in the mid-50's by the WWII generat... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? And don't overlook Love And Theft, the follow-up to Time Out of Mind. It too is a good one. Produced by Jack Frost (aka Bob himself). | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I couldn't agree with you more taters. I myself am one who finds Rap not merely unlistenable, but unbearable. When heard, I do everything in my power to get as far away from the sound source as possible. I not only can't answer why it has stayed p... | |
| Stats Amen, brother! The designers of box speakers have to go to extremely great lengths to get overcome the failings inherent in dynamic drivers, the necessity to break up the audible spectrum amongst different sized ones, and the cross-over required t... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Why? Why not?! My generation (the 60's) embraced first "Frat" Rock (The Beach Boys, The Ventures, Paul Revere & The Raiders, etc.), then British Invasion, both the 1st wave (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Animals, Yardbirds, etc.) and 2nd (Cr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? There was an interview somewhere with Bob's guitarist on the Time Out of Mind album, Duke Robillard. He was thrilled to work with Bob, but had a terrible time with producer Daniel Lanois. Duke was brought in after the recording of the album was al... | |
| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy At CES in the mid-90's I made the mistake of having Jerry Crosby play "No Time To Cry" by Iris Dement on his modified Quad ESL63's. When near the end of the song Iris sang "I bite down and swallow hard" (if you're familiar with the song you know h... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has loomis---One thing about living in L.A. is you see artists all over the place. When I lived in Burbank a couple of blocks from both the NBC studio where the Tonight Show is filmed and where the Warner Brothers Records offices are located, there wa... |
