| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS tubegroover---I also saw them on that 1972 tour, and you're right---they had become a very good live band by that point, much "heavier" than their 60's version. I couldn't get most of the musicians I knew to listen to Smiley Smile in '68, but they... | |
| interesting phenomena in the cutting room Wouldn't it be great to have the same recording available on all three formats---analog reel-to-reel, LP, and CD/SACD, produced with the care necessary to insure they sound as much alike as possible? One could then compare, for instance, the sound... | |
| Recording Quality and Different Studios martinman---Hey, does "martin" refer to your acoustic guitar? I have a few friends with Martin's---great guitar!Ocean Way is a recording STUDIO, not a label. Recordings made there appear on many different labels. I haven't looked, but Ocean Way mo... | |
| DUAL SUBS IN THE $10,000-$15,000 RANGE Those are all great choices. Another is the Rythmik F25 at $3k (plus shipping) for a pair, $6 for a quad, $9k for a sextet, $12k for an octet, and $15k for ten (a dectet? ;-). Rythmik's 10% discount for a purchase of multiples will pay for the shi... | |
| Is it possible to have to many tweeks in your system One thing to avoid is having two suspensions under one component. For instance, an isolation platform with any kind of "spring" under a suspended turntable. But that you probably already know! | |
| RIP Lemmy Damn, I didn't know he was that old. He sure didn't seem to be! | |

| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS Definitely fjn04. Smiley Smile was put together by Carl Wilson after Brian crashed and burned, the end result of constant questioning and resistance from Mike Love (who didn't at all understand Smile, musically or lyrically---he demanded Van Dyke ... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer I too would wonder why Roger elicits such animosity from some audiophiles, Chris, but your quotes from the RM-10 manual reminded me! He does not bow down at the altar of high end boutique parts. I believe it is as simple as that. In an interview, ... | |
| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS Excellent post, tubegroover! We must be about the same age---I'm 65. In the 60's I lived in Cupertino, just over the mountains from Santa Cruz, the beach town mentioned in "Surfin' U.S.A." The Beach Boys were HUGE amongst my friends and I, and rem... | |
| Did you ever think digital and analog would exist side by side the way it is now I never considered selling my LP music library just because the CD was introduced, and wasn't about to not buy new music simply because it was offered on CD only. So yes, I knew analog and digital would co-exist side-by-side, in my home anyway. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer There may be one---I'm sure Roger would prefer the owner of the Music Reference RM-9 that sent the amp in for repair (a result of the eight $49 Hi-Fi Tuning fuses the owner had installed on the output power tubes in the amp not performing as they ... | |
| Recording Quality and Different Studios Certain artists are known to care a great deal about the sound quality of their recordings. Ry Cooder, for example, works very hard at getting good tone out of his guitars and amps (and succeeding magnificently!), and did the first digital Pop alb... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer And thanks to ct0517 for providing the link! Taters, you have proven you are sincerely interested in hearing the truth about the Tuning Fuses, as unpopular as that truth may be here on Audiogon. And intellectually honest enough to actually conside... |
