| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Sir Lord Baltimore - Currently I'm re-reading Bill Graham's autobiography (No, not THAT Bill Graham!). A tremendous book that, without trying to, explains very clearly much of what's wrong with the American music industry today, but I digress. Her... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Wait...you had damages to some CJ gear also!? Brother, this has to go down as the absolute worst of worst-case scenarios I've ever heard of! I'm feelin' yr pain but I'm curious, if CJ's kept you waiting for close to 2 months, how come this thread'... | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? I own a Dolan PM1 from back in the day. It was offered with a brass or black faceplate and I had the brass. I've always had black gear so I opted to switch out the brass for the black. I regret it to this day! Even though the preamp is in the 'spa... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Wow. I've been following this thread with interest. I've been the plant manager at a few different companies and Magnepan simply isn't doing the right thing by you. I understand about rules and policies but if I were in charge I'd take the extenua... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Here's the thing....as a consumer of audio products, I've always had the impression that Cary makes "the good stuff". Don't know why but the Stereophile issue proclaiming a Cary amp as possibly the greatest amp EVER (I know, I know, they do that a... | |
| Tivo Dumb. When TIVO 1st came on the picture it was a true breakthrough technology. When the cable companies saw how great a demand there was for this service, it developed the DVR capacity within their own cable boxes. The success of the cable companies pro... | |
| Music Reference RM 9 Question Not to be a naysayer but....Roger will undoubtedly tell you to replace ALL your tubes! For 2 reasons, 1st - it's the correct answer IF you're looking for optimum performance but more obviously, 2nd - he's a businessman, of course he'd rather sell ... | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? I also used to run my 104/2's with that Adcom back in the early 90's! By the time I reached my all-tube all-the-time system the Kef's had been long replaced by my Spendor S100's! I remember how highly-acclaimed that Adcom was. At the time I was ju... | |
| why do we argue? My question would be more along the lines of why don't moderators simply stay out of it? I can understand not wanting vulgarity but beyond objectionable language, I say let the boys be boys!;) | |
| Earbuds? Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5'! UE makes superior buds! I found them to have the same problems regarding positioning AND the microphonics. Completely solved by changing (upgrading?) the budpiece and the cable! Isn't ours a great hobby!;) | |
| Witch vinyl LP , EP or single you acquired FIRST? As a kid I inherited a large collection of 45's from my older brother. It had a lot of the old doo-wop, early R&R, and R&B. The 1st 45 I ever bought was 'Wake Me, Shake Me' by the 4 Tops and 'My Girl' by the Temptations. The 1st albums I e... | |
| RIP: Doc Watson 'Pickin' The Blues' is a favorite album of mine. Great music and exceptional audio quality! I've got a few others but this is the one I've repeatedly returned to over the years.RIP Doc! | |
| Nick Lowe +1 on Litle Village. Was fortunate to have scored the vinyl version. Great sound and greater music! | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie A few years ago I picked up the (at the time)latest CD by Johnny Winter, 'I'm A Bluesman'. It was truly painful to listen to. I'll add that I was a major Winter fan back in the day, saw Johnny 5-6 times and Edgar 10-11!(Edgar's still a killa!). I'... | |
| Recommendations....like this CD Yesterday I picked up the latest record by John Boutte, 'All About Everything'. An exceptional singer who lives, breathes, and is a standard-bearer for all things New Orleans! He's caught a big break from the HBO show 'Treme', the theme song is hi... |
