| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? ShadorneEver hear the 12 inch remakes by Arthur Baker from the early 1980s. They really slam as well. | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? I have it with a Bryston DAC. Really incredible sound. | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? I concur with Shadorne around the dynamics and loudness factor of owning ATCs. I have the 50s and 150s. The 150s can fill a room with ear splitting sound; I enjoy the quieter 50s for home use. They don't color the music and are very neutral and fl... | |

| What is your favorite recording with a quirck Speaking of U2, they completely missed the time of MLK's death in "Pride." They have King being shot in the morning; in fact, he was shot in the afternoon.Now for some Gon trivia: And then there is the famous "f#$%en long" shouted by John Lennon d... | |
| What is the best band ever? Live: The Clash. Was a roadie on the 1982 tour. Very high energy. Have not seen another band match it. Close but still second: Bruce Springsteen and U2. | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? I had the great fortune of meeting George at Abbey Road. I worked with the Beatles on their first Beatles.com website, which recreated the studio as part of the design, back in 1998 and 99. I was invited on a personal tour and lunch with George, P... | |
| Ever had a "Promotional Copy" surprise your ears? I have a few "cutouts" and radio-only promotion albums. They used to be actively traded at the Capitol Records swapmeet in Hollywood and the Pasadena City College swapmeet here in So Cal. three decades ago. Best ones I know were promotion-only liv... | |
