For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans @stuartk The Old Grey Whistle Test was such a great program. Soooooo many performances I've loved over the years. I got to see Emmylou Harris back in the 80's at the University of Alberta. The Myer Horowitz Theater to be exact. 683 seats. ... | |
For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans @stuartk I have watched that concert several times. I like that it was well recorded in good definition. Thanks. | |
For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans Thanks for posting. Been a huge Ry fan since I first heard him in the mid 70's. I've only had one chance to see him live and that was at the Edmonton Folk Festival when he was touring as the guitarist for Ali Farka Toure. Mr. Cooder just stayed... | |
CD's or Vinyl? @laoman I actually have an excellent system and take very good care of my Vinyl. Many LPs going back to the 70s that are still in great condition. IMHO, it's virtually impossible for Vinyl to stay pristine over time. Not to mention the few po... | |
CD's or Vinyl? @laoman When you say Vinyl sounds more like live music, you must be equating all the pops and clicks on vinyl to the coughing and hacking you can't avoid hearing at a live show? On that basis. I must agree, Vinyl does sound more like live music. 🤣 | |
Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? @billstevenson I would think that mold could only be a concern in a very damp environment? If you have that much moisture in the room, I suspect you have bigger issues than the vinyl. Cheers. | |
CD's or Vinyl? | |
I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl. A new take on the old 45's. Will they ever stop finding ways to part us from our money? And here I thought getting up every 20 minutes to flip an LP was a bit of a pain. Now every 4 minutes? I don't think so. This is one product I'll take a p... | |
Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean @kijanki Glad you like it. It's always satisfying when someone follows up on a recommendation and likes what they hear. Christian McBride has several terrific LPs of his own. "Gettin' To It" is a personal favorite of mine. Cheers. | |
Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean For anyone just starting into Jazz, or has gained an appreciation for the music, I highly recommend Chick Corea's TRILOGY, a 3 CD set. Being lazy, I'll just cut and paste: Product description On September 9, 2014, Stretch RecordsConcord Jazz wi... | |
Strategy for upgrading long interconnect cable run I've been satisfied in the past with Morrow XLR cables. They will build whatever length you need. Many different price points. They are always on sale, but around Christmas, they run a 60 - 65% off deal. Give them a look. Cheers. | |
Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean While Julian (Cannonball) Adderly is best known, his brother Nat played trumpet & cornet in his band for years. Nat also released some fine LPs of his own. | |
The cool factor- who has it? I read a piece where Michael McDonald was asked, if he could be anyone, who would it be. He answered Donald Fagen. So I guess Donald is cool. | |
Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms I may be an outlier here but I have tried isolation platforms under my speakers, more than one pair, and can't say that I have ever heard a noticeable improvement in sound. For me, it has always begged the question, if putting your speakers on pl... | |
Old SS amps @roxy1927 If I was ever looking to purchase a piece of older equipment, I would start the conversation with "so, are you in the always on camp?" Cheers. |
