| Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please I might suggest going to www.dustygroove.com and start browsing around. Probably one of the premier sources for such stuff on the web. Even if they do get a little too enthusiastic in their descriptions at times... Good people to deal with & l... | |
| What's Your Favorite Party Music? Sounds like a great party Sean! What do I have to do to get an invite....?I also got a good laugh from JFacker's suggestion of a Brother's Quay/Neubaten mix. The party that would groove to that scene could be frightening to behold. I used to throw... | |
| looking for jazz? There are a few groups & musicians that come to mind who blend electronica with jazz. Although I'm not sure it's exactly the blend you're seeking as the stuff I'm familiar with tends to align itself more closely with the darker trip-hop & ... | |
| portishead, goldfrapp, looking for more ...... You may want to try some of the more recent releases by Pram and Laika. Nice stuff...not quite trip-hop, but veering into the realm with a more abstract edge at times.One that came to mind as I type this (and it's not really a recommendation), is ... | |
| Foil strip CD tweaks...A mystery Here's the site...http://www.belt.demon.co.ukEnjoy! | |
| You gotta love it If you ever happen to have the 'pleasure' of listening to Mainliner: 'Mainliner Sonic', you will experience a CD length replication of your speakers imploding upon themselves. Somewhere back yonder are some seriously freaked-out Japanese musicians... | |
| Foil strip CD tweaks...A mystery I have always been intrigued and amused by the flurry of banter surrounding the PWB foil. When you get a chance, go to his website and read up on his theories. Whatever you want to say about it, it's at least an interesting read. I personally, was... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult You may be faced with a situation in which you are preaching to someone who simply does not care about audio and is perhaps not even seriously 'into' music as it were. You may also be faced with some more abastract issues. Perhaps she perceives yo... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? I have one more to add, having just done this twice in the last few days during the course of re-arranging. Any audiohound with a large vinyl collection would certainly agree that pulling out and moving a record collection is MOST tedious. | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? Taking apart and re-assembling in another spot is certainly the most tedious (I'm doing this as we speak) process I can think of. Narrowing it down to a single item, I would have to say re-'tweaking' the rack and levelling each shelf one by one is... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... I used to sit in the basement with one of those cheap tape recorders, pressing the microphone up to the 2" speaker on my clock radio to get recordings off the radio of some of my favorite tunes, (I actually still have a couple of those tapes layin... | |
| Best 20A IEC power cord I used a 20 amp Custom Power Cord Co. Model 11 on my power conditioner and was suitably impressed. This cord is also reasonably priced within the realm of high-end power cords as well. | |
| Bi-wire-top post, bottom post, why a difference? I have attempted bi-wiring on a couple of occasions and distinctly did not like the results. I could not quantify exactly what happened to the sound, but it really dried out the enjoyable qualities of my system. This is, of course, system dependan... | |
| How about the older CAL CD players? I only have experience with the Icon MkII and can vouch for it as a pretty darn good player. Very solid, well built (like a rock almost) and quite nice sounding. At it's going used price, a very good deal. I have heard mixed things about the HDCD/... | |
| favorite online vinyl vendors? Try www.midheaven.com and see if that moves your vinyl shopping in the right direction. Another interesting on-line music vendor is Forced Exposure (www.forcedexposure.com), though their slant veers into a much more esoteric realm; experimental, e... |
