| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? Time will tell. But even if LP's return to a niche product level (even more so than some think they already are), so what? As long as they are available, those who want them will be able to get them. And there will ALWAYS be millions of used LP's,... | |
| Keeping Track of Vinyl Playback Time @rdk777: Fremer reviewed a cheap little accessory that is a timer for stylus'. Look for it in the Stereophile Analog Planet archives. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @stuartk: My Copy arrives later this week! I can't wait to hear "Not Dark Yet", one of my favorite songs. It was Lanois' sound on this album (terrible) that inspired Dylan to start doing his own producing, an excellent decision. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @edcyn, at the risk of further inflaming the ire of fsonicsmith1 and wturkey, I have good news for you: Music Millennium has a copy of The Mountain (the title of the utter disaster that is the Steve Earle/Del McCoury Band album). It's a used copy,... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @edcyn: Yeah, The Mountain LP is getting hard to find. The album was released on both CD and LP in 1999 on E-Squared Records (the label started by Earle and music businessman Jack Emerson)---I have both, and reissued on CD and LP in 2017 on Warner... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon: You mean you're suppose to listen to LP's? ;-) But seriously, with my LP buying behavior of the past coupla years (I'm guesstimating 500 LP's acquired in 2021-2) I've been putting myself in the situation I created with CD's in the 90's: I... | |
| What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms? Atma-Sphere M-60. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? There is a lot of over-generalization in the article, not to mention outright misinformation (the writer is obviously unaware of Chad Kassem and his trio of LP businesses, as well as those of Speakers Corner, Blue Note, Intervention, VMP, dozens o... | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 If you like the Maggie sound (planar-magnetic drivers), but know that their 4 ohm-and-below impedance characteristic and very low sensitivity rules out the mighty-fine M60, there is an alternative: the Eminent Technolgy LFT-8b. 8 ohms full range, ... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection @jafant: I finally made up my mind on Bootleg Volume 17, and went with the 4 LP iteration. The 5 CD set includes a lot more material, but mostly live shows, with which I’m not particularly interested. Some of the live recordings are from Dylan’s ... | |
| New In 2023 Lyle Lovett's Joshua Judges Ruth on LP, street date tomorrow (February 10th). | |
| It was 61 years ago today... By the time The Beatles appeared on the Sullivan show, I had already been buying Beach Boys and Paul Revere & The Raiders LP’s (along with instrumental surf albums, Chuck Berry’s Greatest Hits on Chess Records, A Roy Orbison collection on Monu... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? I regularly see and hear the 1980’s disparaged, but that’s a sentiment with which I don’t concur. Yeah, maybe the most widely heard and bought music was not the best, but on the cult level we had a completely different situation. During the 80’s ... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? If Hip Hop has survived 50 years (I'm not qualified to answer that question. I can't even identify what makes a "song" Hip Hop), it is for the same reason every other genre has survived in time: there is an audience for it. It's no different than ... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? In a talk Roger Modjeski (Music Reference, RAM Tube Works) said Tim de Paravicini (EAR-Yoshino) told him he could tell what a tube amp sounded like by looking at it’s transformers. Both Roger and Tim extensively studied the art and science of tran... |
