| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Thanks for the offer captmobley! I'd love to hear those DIs, even though they're too big for my room. I'll keep you posted. | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music The amp is probably at 200 hours, the LS50 have 100+ hours. I'm still breaking in the Dentons... do I really need 500 hours to decide if I have the right gear?? | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music @soma70 you mentioned in a previous post getting a power conditioner and giving the amp and source clean power and isolate the two. Can you explain to a newbie like me? I currently have both plugged into a Tripp Lite Isobar, no conditioning at all... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music @mrdecibel thanks for the offer! If I can get away I'll take a road trip to listen to your setup. | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music @beernut I've seen some of your posts discussing the same thing here... so if you say the Heresy will get the job done then that's probably what I'll go with, but I'd like to listen to them in person first, if I can find any. Not all power condit... | |

| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music If you want to approximate what you've heard as a blues player when you used a Fender amp, try a speaker with a base driver around the same size as the one in your amp, for starters. Thanks, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish... I jus... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Given you play guitar live (amplified) I would have expected references and comparisons to live playback, tonality, timbre, realism, etc. I had a feeling that's what you meant... there's no way I could use live performance as a reference, there... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music I agree, it could be the room, but I'm limited with what I can do, it's already too crowded in there! But I've been looking into what I can do to cut down on the reflections. | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music Thanks for the suggestions! I'm open to trying different cables in the chain if it helps, but don't want to end up spending too much just on cables, so what dirt cheap things can I try? I understand cables are important, but speakers make the bigg... | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music I'm in the Tampa Bay area, is that close to you? | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music The studio version of Tin Pan Alley on Couldn't Stand the Weather sounds awesome on my system, no doubt! It's an excellent recording, clean, one of the best Blues recording I've heard. Stevie's guitar tone is extra clean on this song, I can crank ... | |
