| 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... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? rushton---Dylan had Daniel Lanois produce his Time Out of Mind album, and the sound was a turgid, muddy mess. Thankfully Bob has been doing it himself lately, and the sound of his last few albums is much better. Not audiophile, but much better tha... | |
| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges I finally got around to checking out the website of Schiit Audio, the company selling the new products from Mike Moffatt, designer of the initial Theta Digital gear. Mikes focus with Schiit is on very inexpensive offerings, and his $129 phono amp ... | |
| DUAL SUBS IN THE $10,000-$15,000 RANGE Just so you'll know, the Rythmik Servo Feedback plate amp is available in two different XLR versions, one of which (XLR2) allows master-slave hook-up, operation, and adjustment of multiple subs. The feedback system also deals with the resonance of... | |
| Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000 Ah yes Al, unbalanced only on the LS7. Of course, if Eddy goes passive, he could get a passive pre with balanced out. They are available, aren't they? Not that Eddy indicated any dissatisfaction with his LS7, but when I see a system with a single ... | |
| Is it possible to have to many tweeks in your system Sonex quickly "dissolves", ending up a crumbly, sticky, mess. | |
| interesting phenomena in the cutting room There is an excellent documentary film entitled Tom Dowd & The Language of Music. Tom, recording engineer at Atlantic, Stax, and other labels, would go into the studio, walk around the room, stand in front of each instrument, then go back into... | |
| Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000 The input impedance of the RM-200 is 30k via it's XLR inputs, I believe. | |
| DUAL SUBS IN THE $10,000-$15,000 RANGE ct0517---Oh yeah, the ET Rotary sub. I don't remember it's price, but what a sub---flat to 0hz! Bruce Thigpen has one of the most creative minds in the history of Hi-Fi.For an enclosure in which to install an 18" woofer, go to the DIY Soundgroup w... | |
| Does anyone use Laserdisc anymore? Give Atomic Records in Burbank, CA a call. I believe they have customers looking for laserdiscs, and might want them. They give me pretty good prices for the CD's I bring them. | |
| Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000 For $2k, you can pick up a used Music Reference RM-200 (the original, not the Mk.2). It is well-suited for passive pre-amp use (input sensitivity, gain), so you can dispense with the LS-7 and get a better-sounding passive if you wish. Over twice t... | |
| Your favorite BEACH BOYS LP besides PET SOUNDS Oh yeah, It's on Telarc, not Mobile Fidelity! I get those two mixed up. Though I am somewhat of an audiophile (tube electronics, Eminent Technology, Magneplanar, and Quad loudspeakers), even sonically I don't think it sounds very good. Though it's... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Right you are wolf. In The Last Waltz it was either Garth Hudson (who was the clavinet player) or Robbie Robertson who described the wah-wah'ed clavinet as sounding like a Jews Harp. |
