| fuse damage Geoff (and anyone else who feels Modjeski’s views on the topics Geoff quoted renders his opinion of the Hi-Fi Tuning Fuses questionable, if not downright invalid), allow me to suggest that even if Roger is "wrong" about any other topic (as I feel ... | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Sunnyjim---Bravo on your taste in music! The Band and the two songs mentioned are fantastic, but the album those songs are on (self titled---The Band, commonly referred to as the brown album) is actually their second, Music From Big Pink (containi... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello I loved his first album, which I bought as a British import upon it’s initial release. I then liked his second, but didn’t really care for The Attractions. Steve’s piano playing is far too busy for my taste (too many single notes and "tinkling", n... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... Tostado, was that in Austin, or Houston? I’ve heard very little about Lucinda’s very early years. Did she actually have a live band back in the 70’s? I’ve seen no pics of her with players from back then. And I've never seen Kottke live, but love h... | |
| fuse damage It doesn’t take much effort to find and read what Modjeski has to say about the Hi-Fi Tuning Fuses he examined, and on the design and construction of fuses in general. And after having done so, one is free to dismiss or disregard Rogers findings a... | |
| Preamp recommendation please.. EAR-Yoshino 868. | |
| Which arms are really SOTA, and can be properly setup? The Audiomods arm out of The United Kingdom has all the mechanical adjustments you specified Don. | |
| fuse damage Roger Modjeski of Music Reference and RAM Labs received one of his excellent RM-9 Mk.II amplifiers for repair. The owner had installed in it eight Tuning Fuses, and they had failed to perform the main task of a fuse, resulting in damage to the amp... | |
| LAST record preservative improves the sound +1 rodman. Anyone disparaging Last Record Preservative is, sorry, mistaken. A lot of research went into it's development, and Walter Davies is to be congratulated, and thanked, for doing so. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. A recent thread reminded me of Lucinda Williams. Her voice is immediately recognizable, and though her pitch is often not-quite-on (though not nearly off as, say, Johnny Cash), her singing just oozes character and personality---far more important ... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... Tostadosunidos---It was in the mid-to-late 80’s I saw Lucinda playing around L.A. She’s lived there off and on over the years. I was introduced to her at Club Lingerie by the manager of The Long Ryders, whom I was there to see and hear. Their drum... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... Lucinda has her mojo back. I used to see her play around town (L.A.), in the long break between her Rough Trade album and getting signed to WB and recording her breakthrough album, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road. She was working days at a local recor... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. My current favorite singer, possessing an immediately recognizable voice, is Iris Dement. There is a clip on You Tube of Emmylou Harris harmonizing with her. Iris is a great songwriter as well as singer. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. I haven't read all the nominations on this thread, so she may have already been mentioned, but Emmylou Harris has a distinctive and unusual voice. A pretty fair amount of vibrato, which I usually distain, but for some reason doesn't bother me in h... | |
| Speakers that open up at low volume levels Jeff---The ET LFT-8, an excellent loudspeaker with a for-some-reason very low profile. You're right, it's rather inefficient, yet imo sounds better at low volume (as well as high!) than Magneplanar's 1.7, a very similiar low-efficiency planar. A l... |
