| And Clapton Didn't Even Know I'll make an analogy: The Linn LP12 (The Band) rescued the turntable from the completely wrong path it's design was heading in. Yes, the AR table (Sweethearts of the Rodeo?) was already around, as was the Thorens TD-125 (The White Album) and TD-15... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s I just checked my Music Reference RM-200 amp, and it has 8ohm, 4ohm, 2ohm, and 1ohm taps! It's a very stable circuit, and a good sounding amp. And the only tube amp I can think of that would work with the load of the Thiels. Give Roger a call and ... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Why is it always posed as a choice between the two formats? If your audio system is in the service of your music (as it should be, right?), and you have both LP's and CD's, then you obviously can't choose between the two, you need both a record pl... | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you Loomis---Freedy! Great songwriter whom I haven't though of in a while. Gonna listen to him right now, thanks. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know I was going to say that I wouldn't argue with Cream being the first (at least with all members having equal billing), but then I remembered The Who, debuting two years before Cream. Does having a fourth non-instrument playing member disqualify the... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s If you aren't dead set against tubes, a tube power amp can mate well with Thiels. Midrange presence with a slightly forward sound is fairly common in tube amps. The trick will be finding one that doesn't mind the load impedance of the Thiels---tub... | |
| How to store headshell and tonearms safely Do a search over at Vinyl Engine. Somebody (j7 at Origami maybe) is making and selling shipping cartons with foam cutouts for pick-up arms. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know After Cream hit big, we young musician's searched out Jack and Ginger's previous work together in the Graham Bond Organization, a British jazz group in which their playing was not much different than that in Cream. Ginger was already doing an earl... | |
| Your three favorite audio dealerships? I can tell you why, Taters: Brooks left behind a widow, Sheila Berdan---Brian's mother, and she and Brian couldn't come to an economic arrangement for the shop that worked for both of them. Brian left to start Audio Element in Pasadena, taking wit... | |

| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Clapton ended up not liking the role he played in Cream (nor no longer liking the music Cream had created) after being played The Band's Music From Big Pink by George Harrison. Harrison started carrying around a portable record player specifically... | |
| Tubes, old and new Wolf, I'll have to try some Gold Lion 12Ax7's in my new phono amp---Keith put Sovtek's in it, but told me sure, try some others. I use GL KT88's in my power amp, they're good enough for me. Where'd you get the 12At7's? They're the other tube in my... | |
| Tubes, old and new A guitarist, ay? What amp are those tubes in? The best players I've worked with favor amps like the blackface Deluxe Reverb and Vox AC30. Heard of Evan Johns? Great player, a Tele straight into a Deluxe on 10. Awesome tone! Drinking problem, thoug... | |
| Songs that Inspire or Move you "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted", both the original sung by Jimmy Ruffin and the live one Joan Osborne did with the Motown house band in the documentary about them. A masterpiece of a song. Even J.S. Bach smiled when he heard it. | |
| Best Female Vocalists Ballads I can't not mention the incredible version of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted?" Joan Osborne does in the documentary on the Motown house band. A Top 10 classic song is there ever was one (it's actually in my all-time Top 3, alongside "God Only ... |
