| What's happened to Taters ? He bought the 100 top selling Rap albums of all time, and has locked himself in his listening room. | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? It’s a moot question. Has any LP been offered in two versions, the only difference between them being the weight of the pressing? An LP offered in a 180 gram version is different from all other versions in ways other than just the 180 gram weight;... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Absolutely in the very top tier of working singer/songwriters today. | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin Rodney Crowell: The Houston Kid; Rosanne Cash: The List; Iris Dement: The Trackless Woods; Loudon Wainwright III: Last Man on Earth; The Fraternal Order of the All (Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman): Greetings From Planet Love; Bill Frisell: The Sp... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Twenty years experience shipping Vintage Drums via FedEx without a single instance of loss or damage. But I pack really well anyway; bubble wrap around each individual piece, cardboard between them all. I would never ship U.P.S., period. | |
| Subwoofer and 2 channel system - need to use crossover at all? One of the benefits of using subs is to relieve the main speakers the task of reproducing the deepest bass. The speaker’s woofers then produce the upper bass with less distortion at higher SPL, using less power. But inserting a x/o into the signal... | |
| Turntable isolation... Thanks for the report Slaw. Which of Geoff's springs did you get? | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Yes indeed Slaw. Musically too, with one of my very favorite guitar breaks of all time, Ry Cooder's on "Lipstick Sunset". | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Wolf, I saw the Jeff Beck Group on their first U.S. tour, and they were great. Ron Wood playing bass (a Telecaster!), Mickey Waller drumming, Rod Stewart singing. Jeff was really fantastic. | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Agree 100 per cent John. Transducers differ in character more than other components imo, and the Decca/London most especially. So alive, so dynamic! Makes other cartridges sound so reserved, so polite. Ironic, the Decca being so iconically British... | |
| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! I wasn't going to say anything (taste being just a matter of taste), but I'm right with ya tostadosunidos. I found Bowie not only reminiscent of Newley, but just as vapid an "entertainer". And contrived and calculated as well. No offense, Bowie fans. | |
| Subwoofer SVS SB13Ultra vs JL Fathom F110V2 erndog, the OB/Dipole sub needs to be placed as all dipoles do---not less than three feet from the wall behind them. If they are paired with dipole main speakers, no problem, as the speakers are already there. They can, however, be placed right up... | |
| Do we love our components more then ourselves ??? Very true, inna. I have to decide which of my vintage snare drums I want to be buried with me. My 1920's Ludwig & Ludwig Standard, my 30's Ludwig Anniversary, my 50's Slingerland Radio KIng, or my 60's Ludwig COB Supraphonic? Or, if I lose som... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? John---Since you mentioned the Decca cartridge, and as a follow-up to Geoff’s great pun, I recommend the Townshend Rock table. The Decca was actually a factor in the table’s design, and the two are known to be a synergistic match (the table’s damp... | |
| Subwoofer SVS SB13Ultra vs JL Fathom F110V2 ctro---Jim Salk puts the Rythmik guts (15" servo-feedback woofer and 600w plate amp combo) into his own sealed enclosure, which has much more bracing than the Rythmik box and greater internal volume (4cu.ft. versus Rythmik's 3cu.ft.), for more eff... |
