| Mapleknoll Questions/ Trouble shooting Had one 20-25 yrs ago, tremendous sound but extremely fussy to set up. Used to have the same problem with the arm 'sticking', a stronger pump fixed it. If you go for an 'audiophile' pump it'll cost you. I found my solution at an art supply store, ... | |
| Kef 104.2 Speakers. Suggestions Discussion Forum When I 1st started this journey during the early 80's my 1st pair of spkrs were Ohm Walsh 2's. Owned 'em for a few years than went for a pair of Kef 104/2's. A wonderful spkr, it was interesting to read the comment about the cube, I used it for aw... | |
| Quality recordings of reggae/ska and alternative If you really want to expand your horizons; you should give the Jazz Jamaica All-Stars a listen! In particular; 'Massive' & 'Double Barrel'. Big Band Ska/Reggae, beautifully recorded and very well played. Huge added bonus is that one can usual... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? I'll never forget the beatdown ELP took when I saw them at the Fillmore East back in the day. I was a huge fan, excited that we scored tickets. Wasn't aware that Edgar Winter's White Trash was 2nd billing. Well, being the era that it was, I think ... | |
| MFSL cd's vs. Redbook cd's The MFSL release of Edgar Winter's White Trash is amazing! | |
| Your First Concert was..... At the Fillmore East '70 or '71. Saw Fat Mattress (Noel Redding's band) 3rd billing, Grand Funk Railroad 2nd, and Jethro Tull. What a night!! | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Dafnis Prieto - One of the top 10 (5?) drummers living today. Has 4 releases out with the latest just released; 'Live at the Jazz Standard' is simply amazing! | |
| smokin' recommendation: Evan Parker's "TIME LAPSE" Jazz is such a small word for so much music. This particular genre/type of Jazz isn't my thing. You should check out Jazzcorner.com where there's quite a few Evan Parker fans hanging' out! | |
| Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing? This reminds me of an interview I saw recently with Paul McCartney. The subject came up about how the White Album could've been the Beatles 'Greatest' record had they edited it down to one disc. At which point Paul basically rolls his eyes, shrugs... | |
| Billy Cobham's Spectrum 'Powerplay' was originally recorded for the GRP label but I imagine the rights have been sold 'cause I've seen it released under a different company logo. IMO, 'Powerplay' was the last recording he made that had the old Cobham 'fire'. His other GR... | |
| Reissue recordings with added tracks Feel the same way about 'Bonus tracks' as I do about posthumous releases. There's a reason Hendrix and Miles decided NOT to release a lot of their recordings, they weren't up to standards. If the original artist didn't approve of the release, I wo... | |
| Spendor speakers I've owned my S100's for 19 years! Paired with my tube amp & pre-amp I've been a very happy man. Spendor + tubes = sonic bliss!;) | |
| Billy Cobham's Spectrum Cobham's 1st 4 albums; Spectrum, Crosswinds, Total Eclipse, & Shabazz are his best in every way. Recording quality, performance, writing, arranging are all 5-star! I saw him 12 times (twice w/Mahavishnu, the rest solo) so I guess you can say I... | |
| If you like Levon Helm Big fan! Never realized how much he influenced the sound of The Band. | |
| re-burn in? is there such a thing. I tried starting a thread about this very subject last week but it never showed! If burn-in wears off after a period of time, how long is this period of time? Is the equipment that get's 'retired' to my 'spares' closet still 'burnt'? When you move... |
