| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I neglected to mention that Danny Gatton committed suicide years ago. But there are a number of his CD's available, the first one to get probably being the double-CD collection on WB, I believe it is. His sometimes-partner Evan Johns (also a mania... | |
| overwhelmed by record rituals The pops and clicks could be static, not vinyl, noise. The dusting of an LP (which is all carbon fiber brushes such as the Audioquest do) can create static, so I would get an anti-static gun. Last Stylus Cleaner (amongst others) is a great product... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? I didn't have to think about this one. It's a tie between the 1st and 2nd Band albums. Literally thousands of times. | |
| 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 ... |
