| Classical Music for Aficionados "Greenland, with a population of only just over 56,000, and most of that contained in a few of the largest cities, you could immunize half of the population in a good solid 8 hour shift."I'm guessing you mean vaccinate rather than immunise.The bes... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs @bdp24,"A sterling example of a Pop song is "When You Walk In The Room", written by Jackie DeShannon and released by her as a single in 1963."Jackie's version certainly is. I think it's a mark of a great pop record that it can be a hit for differe... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? This lyric has been popping into my head rather a lot recently. Wonder why?If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next - Manic Street Preachers-----Bullets for your brain todayBut we’ll forget it all againMonuments put from pen to paperTurns m... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs @slaw ,It’s actually quite difficult to define what pop is. For example what might have been considered popular back in the 1920s might not today. You’re not likely to hear Fats Waller, Bing Crosby, Jimmie Rodgers, Eddie Cantor of even Louis Armst... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @syntax ,All Linn LP12 "upgrades"Err yes. After almost half a century’s worth of upgrades, it must be getting difficult to think of what next.We’ve seen numerous sub chassis reinforcements, various arm boards, different (mainly rubbish) motors, an... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs The thing about pop, although it might be hard to define what exactly pop is, now that the singles charts is seen to have become irrelevant (not that all great pop songs charted, many like Louie Louie didn't) is that it had the ability to appeal t... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. @millercarbon,"Here's the problem with biased moderators and triggered snowflake virtue-signallers. They think this is just fine: dumb, idiotic, profoundly stupidwhen used by one of their own. But when turned around and used against them- where i... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Back in my heady student days I remember asking my friend Calvin what he had playing in his headphones. This was something I'd never heard before and quite difficult to take in as 21 year old. But I never forgot it.------"The Revolution Will Not B... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. Dylan was a protest singer but unlike Baez he decided to distance himself from the movement. It certainly didn't harm his music, though many of the folkies, who thought they had bred him and fed him, felt betrayed when he moved away.In the UK ther... | |
| To re-cap or not to re-cap? That is the question "On the principle "don’t fix it if it ain’t broke," I’m inclined to leave well enough alone."Me too.And yes we should try to leave politics out of this forum as much as possible.It’s getting a little tiring watching reruns of Miller v the sheep.Baaa! | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? I like Chet Baker too. Another poor soul in search of the divine. Got to love Chet Baker.Same way about Coltrane, the humanity is obvious, but not Miles. His sound just bristles with anger and inner turbulence.For some it might be an exploratory j... | |
| Looking for new (to me) Speakers for Leben CS300XS---Devore, Harbeth, or Reference 3A? Yes, some good advice here. Use your Leben to audition if at all possible.An 81mile round trip ain't too bad. I once did a near 400 mile round trip to pick up some Quads! Never again.As @tvad said, why limit yourself to a choice between these thre... | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like @bpoletti ,'Maybe you're expecting more out of your table than it's capable of delivering. I had a Rega Planar 3. I returned it the next day. Bought my first VPI table instead. There are plenty of good-sounding tables out there without having ... | |
| Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality? It’s an easy enough repair. You can get some non-alkaline wood glue and seal the hole. Failing that some common or garden PVA glue will do.Most wood glue is made of similar material to that of the paper cone itself so that won’t be a problem. You ... | |
