| Jazz for aficionados While not wishing to be contrary, "all great music springs from social conditions" must be challenged! Bach's, for one, didn't. It sprung from his genius, and deep religious faith, neither of which do I consider a social condition. | |
| Running subwoofer off Dodd preamp Danny Richie and Gary Dodd go way back together, and were actually in the planning stages of a new company together. Danny knows all about the Dodd products, having both a Dodd pre and a pair of big mono amps Gary custom made for him. If you ever ... | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... It's not Steve Perry's voice per se, it's that he sings in a "Rock Star" manner, if you know what I mean. Like the way Steven Tyler dresses, it's corny and embarrassing. | |
| Running subwoofer off Dodd preamp Russ, Mr. Dodd passed away recently. Give his good friend Danny Richie a call at GR Research. | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Oh, how about "Starry Eyes" by The Records? | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Agree again Marty---Mick Taylor's playing is excellent on the Stones albums, but not quite in the same spirit as everybody else---too sober!Nick Lowe is a long-time favorite of mine as well (and Rockpile the only "Super Group" I really like, thoug... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? Walter Davies is SUCH a great guy. He had a retail store in the 1970's, and I bought my first big system from him (Audio Research, Magneplanar Tympani's, Thorens/SME, Revox). As ethical, honest, and competent as they come! | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... Actually, Steve Perry pronounced it "cit-tay". Crunch---right in the mouth. Another nomination, though perhaps one with which many will disagree---Robert Plant. Oh, and Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction). Guess I don't care for anyone named Perry, f... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? In the 1970's Frank Van Alstine had the stones to offer a slight redesign of the pre-amp everyone considered THE pre-amp to own, the Audio Research SP-3. In his writings he explained exactly what his circuit changes did (improved the SP-3's linear... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report C.P.E. Bach: The Symphonies for Strings, Wq 182; The English Concert with Trevor Pinnock directing from the harpsichord. Very unusual, and fascinating! | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... The way Steve Perry sings "in the cit-ty" (I don't know the name of the song, but it's one of Journey's big hits) makes me want to punch him in the face. But agreed, Getty Lee, Axle Rose, and Rod Stewart are right up there.I saw The Jeff Beck Grou... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates I recently picked up a copy of the SHF album Marty, but haven't heard it yet. The Little Village album was a little disappointing to me, considering how great they were on John Hiatt's Bring The Family album. I think it may have been because the g... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Let me second Audiofeil's listing of Chris Hillman. His Byrd's songs were some of their best, and his post-Byrds output is just amazing. He made a bunch of great solo albums (on Bluegrass-label Sugar Hill), and was the leader of The Desert Rose Ba... | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? Tim doesn't put "boutique" parts in EAR products not to save money, but because he doesn't find they lead to better sound or greater reliability. What he DOES do is use parts with voltage ratings that exceed the voltages the parts will see in the ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Yeah Ghosthouse, Brian Wilson wrote quite a few songs that could be nominated, "Til I Die" and "Surf's Up" being a couple more. |
