| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I haven't read through all the answers, so forgive me if I'm duplicating others. For lyricism and funkiness it's hard to top Ry Cooder. His solo on John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset" is the most poetic I've ever heard. For Chuck Berry style Rock 'n Ro... | |
| Great female voices I've seen Rhiannon's name around, but have yet to hear her. Everything T-Bone is involved with is high quality, so no surprise there. Thanks For the tip! There is a great female in T-Bone's crowd (Americana), the wife and musical partner of Buddy ... | |
| Anyone receive Focal Utopia speakers with defects? IMO, a $30,000 should be perfect, cosmetically. The dealer earns his 40 points by making you happy with your purchase. I would be in touch with him (I assume he isn't local to you?), not Focal. | |
| SOUNDLAB Dynamat in the transformer/crossover box? Keith, the foam portion of NoRez is for absorbing acoustic energy, the layer under the foam for mechanical. You can cut off the foam if you need or want. | |
| SOUNDLAB Dynamat in the transformer/crossover box? Isn't Dynamat optimized for damping metal? NoRez was developed specifically to damp MDF speaker enclosures. | |
| BREUER DYNAMICS TYPE 8 MC II tonearm Have you checked at Vinyl Engine? | |
| Suggestions on DVD/CD player with great sound.... Esoteric DV-50S. They sell for about $1200 used. | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Perhaps the Linn LP12 analogy wasn't clear enough. A casual examination of the LP12 versus the AR and Thorens' could lead one to say "What's so different about the Linn? It's just a suspended sub-chassis belt-drive table---so are the AR and Thoren... | |
| Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s Maybe one of the Anti-Cable impedance transformers to get the Thiels impedance high enough? | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Martykl---Johnny Kidd! He did a pretty good version of "Shakin' All Over", the inspiration for the Who's Live At Leeds recording. But if you haven't heard Link Wray, you'll want to. Whereas Johnny had the clean, non-overdriven tube amp guitar soun... | |
| 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... |
