| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile The ESS Transtatic (pre-Heil AMT), Infinity Servo-Static, Decca Blue pickup. | |
| Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s @loomisjohnson beat me to The Byrds, but there's always The Everly Brothers (they broke big in the 50's, but also made great music in the 60's and beyond too), The Band (their first two albums came out in 1968 and '69), The Mamas & The Papa... | |
| Brian Wilson @mark200mph: It was actually Dennis Wilson who was "influenced" by Manson. In 1968 Dennis picked up a couple of chicks who were hitch-hiking on Sunset Blvd., taking them back to his rented house on Sunset. The girls were members of Charlie Mans... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Smile boxset. Smile not being completed and released in 1967 as originally planned is one of the great tragedies in the history of Pop music. To read about the album as it was being recorded, pick up a copy of the book Outlaw Blues by Paul ... | |
| Brian Wilson Brian Wilson and John Lennon: https://youtu.be/AShQAqCq_zM?si=-2GQINkh_Pg6YkR9 | |
| Brian Wilson I have been anticipating this for a while. Brian is now finally resting in peace. The Beach Boys were the first live concert I attended, at The San Jose Civic Auditorium in the Summer of 1964. I spent that summer listening to their All Summer ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @bmbmzig: Danny Richie has repeated stated that achieving a desired frequency response (the specs/measurements to which you refer) does only one thing: make the speaker accurate. He over and over has stressed the point that replacing sound-degr... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? "Why should I upgrade when I can buy a better speaker?" That is the title of a video Danny Richie posted a year ago, one I missed. It may answer some of the questions raised in this thread. Here it is: https://youtu.be/kSOlxLvSR58?si=lE... | |
| New In 2025 Coming out on August 15th is a new Molly Tuttle album entitled So Long Little Miss Sunshine. The album’s front cover is very reminiscent of Nick Lowe’s Jesus Of Cool (Pure Pop For Now People in the U.S.A.) album (nine pics, ala the Hollywood Sq... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Yes, this thread started (and has largely remained) a discussion about loudspeaker crossovers. But now that the subject of open baffle subs has come up (I accept the blame for that ), here’s something that hasn’t yet been mentioned regarding th... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Oops. In my directly-above post, I referred to two styles of frames used in open baffle woofers/subs: the W style, and the M. Actually, W and M are used interchangeably, M merely being an upside-down W. The correct nomenclature for the second s... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @texbychoice: Your post brought to mind one other consideration in the passive vs. active crossover matter, one Danny brought up in his video. It is this fact: With a passive x/o installed (almost always) inside the speaker enclosure, to replac... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! Awesome @riverdinaudio! I don’t think a pair of LFT-6’s ever made it to the West Coast (I’ve never seen a pair for sale here). My LFT-4’s were shipped to me from the Midwest iirc, and arrived in perfect condition (packed with a LOT of bubble wr... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @scott22: Consider giving "God Only Knows" a listen. Paul McCartney considers it the best Pop song ever written. It is Brian Wilson’s most sophisticated piece of writing, with a chord structure and modulation, use of inversion and counterpoint ... |
