| Best Female Vocalists Ballads I wasn't going to mention my favorite "new" artist of the past few decades. The last time I recommended her, to the wife of a friend who was looking for a new female artist to like, the feedback I got was that the wife found Iris Dement "so melanc... | |
| Which phono preamps among these three? There is now a Quicksilver phono amp on AudiogoN for cheap. | |
| Which do you feel ... Iris Dement. She's a very special songwriter and singer whom I learned of from Merle Haggard, himself not bad at both ;-). There are a bunch of videos on You Tube with which to check her out | |
| Helius tonearm users, what have you upgraded to? Thanks Harvey, I'll do that. | |
| Tubes, old and new Tim Pavaracini = "supposed" expertise?! | |
| Balanced or fully SS pre with tone controls What you can do is get a modern, no-tone control pre-amp with a processor pass through input, send an output from that pre-amp to an older pre-amp with tone controls, return the output from that pre-amp (with the signal "tone-controlled") back to ... | |
| Best Female Vocalists Ballads Ooh, good one Peter! Another incredible female is Julie Miller, a great songwriter and singer, wife and partner of the best producer/singer/guitarist/bandleader (for Emmylou Harris) working today, Buddy Miller. | |

| Another Best sounding room Marty, I'm jealous! Santa Monica is beautiful, and hard to find a vacancy in. I come in once a month from the desert, bringing my mother-in-law to 20th and SM Blvd. for her Chemo treatments. I bring my dog and we walk along Pacific Coast Highway o... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has It's Richard Manuel of The Band I miss the most from my lifetime, but who wouldn't want J.S. Bach walking around! By the way, if JSB were, it would be Garth Hudson he would be hanging with, not Keith Emerson. | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Shows what I know! It's the first I heard of it, but I don't follow developments in the world of MC's. ALL those guys named are brilliant, glad every one of them is working in the field of our passion. Music in our homes at our whim---how fortunat... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? Keith Herron's championing of infinite loading is just one example of his creative mind, free of doctrine and dogma, but informed by knowledge and experience. Plus he's a musician! | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Random thoughts: Not into wine myself, but I understand professional critics of the juice have been known to pan expensive stuff and praise economy-priced products. It may not be impossible to fool an educated palate, but harder than an ignorant o... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? The talk directly above brings to mind a couple of things: Seinfeld. It pretty much reflected where society and culture were at the time, and music was rarely mentioned though movies often were. Of course, the show was about actors. My sisters nev... | |
| Tubes, old and new Fantastic! Thanks Tom. |
