| Ever heard Rockpile? Some comments on above posts: @jasonbourne71: I shopped at Bleeker Bob’s when I briefly lived in New York (Flushing, Queens) in ’83. Quite an ornery fella! Later in the decade he opened a shop on Melrose Street in Los Angeles, and brought h... | |
| Have You Seen - 10 Characteristics of Great Audiophile Sound @ghdprentice: A marketing shot, yeah. But what kind of potential customer does PS Audio think the picture will attract? A woman? A novice audiophile? I don't think anyone new to high end audio is going to be buying a pair of PS Audio's $30,000 ... | |
| Mike's Barn. Regarding the rational for having multiple turntables: I don’t like two tonearms on the same table, especially if one is of tangential design. I also don’t like detachable head shells. Changing cartridges on an arm without a detachable head... | |
| Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with? There was one active system I was very interested in, but then the designer/builder Roger Modjeski (of Music Reference of course) died, and the system with him. The system consisted of an electrostatic loudspeaker with no input transformer (al... | |
| Have You Seen - 10 Characteristics of Great Audiophile Sound And in the discussion of point 1 (the speakers should disappear in the room), they show a pair of PS Audio FR30’s right in front of a wall of glass windows and doors. Duh. And that goes for PS Audio too; the picture was taken from the PS Audio ... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? @sns: Oops, I forget to include the fact that the Taxi To The Terminal Zone was an album by Ducks Deluxe. I saw Rockpile live only once (at The Country Club on Sherman Way in Reseda California), and they were fantastic. Moon Martin was the ... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? I guess I (and @slaw) need to give the Little Village album another spin! I loved them live. @sns: Another Pub Rock album to give a listen to is Taxi To The Terminal Zone, produced by Dave Edmunds. | |
| A good little documentary on the great Jim Lauderdale. Oh, and Elvis Costello, Patty Loveless, Ricky Skaggs, Jerry Douglas, James Burton, Ralph Stanley, Dusty Wakeman (SoCal recording engineer, and player of a 3-string Fender P-Bass), many others. I learned some things I didn’t know about Jim, and... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? With the acquisition of a London pickup. Then you will need an arm that can handle the mechanical energy it produces (a stiff arm tube and strong bearing design and build). | |
| Bent Audioquest Robin Hood banana plugs Make your kid buy you a replacement pair of new cables. | |

| A life sentence!!! Oops @jasonbourne71. I think you makes it three, as @whart mentioned he still has a pair of QUADS up and running. I too have a pair, but they’re still down in SoCal in storage. I gotta bring them up to the Northwest this Spring. I have all the... | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. And here's one in which they exhibit their sense of humour: https://youtu.be/pI-J87OMqp8?si=w1038_lNqV7gGs1l | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. Here’s a clip of the current NRBQ line up performing a song from the band’s early days, found on the album they did with Carl Perkins. I love the Telecaster playing of guitarist/singer Scott Ligon. When I saw them live at a club in Portland a ... |
