| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. @zerofox, your comments are spot on!!! You’d think with global warming there’d be such a movement of songwriters. Mums the word. Remember in 1971 Marvin Gaye sang about Ecology? Well, that’s now come to pass, and still not a word. What the heck do... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... @shtinkydog, it’s a Willsenton R8. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U0BDFT4f55w | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? But check this out. Who was Prince? He was the son of jazz musicians. He could play everything. He gets my vote for one talented musician! | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? @bdp24, yes and Jamerson’s playing What’s going on while drunk and lying on his back is legendary. But Jamerson was a solid jazz player who played upright bass on a lot of Motown tunes. And what I meant was players of Motown actually used syncopat... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. @ms59, yes, even a group called the Mamas and the Papas had mega hits. Where’s the next California Dreamin? | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. @michaelsherry59, I feel it’s laughable to suggest one can simply listen to the music and identify with the times. That’s like how many steps removed from the actual experience? No. If you wanted to experience the music you had to experience the s... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... I’m about a 90 percent jazz listener. I’ve 42 years as an audiophile. I’m a jazz pianist, having played trumpet, bass. and sax. I purchased a KT88 integrated that is 22 watts triode and 45 watts pentode. My speakers (planers) are 93dB efficient. I... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? @bdp24, I’m not suggesting there’s no rock guys who played jazz. But not all jazz players had equal talent. Jazz, like Motown, was black music. Jazz was created by blacks, The finest jazz players were blacks. Bebop, the highest musical form of ja... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. @bdp24, no disrespect but there will never be the number of hit records there were between 62’ and ‘75. Observe the number of Motown’s hits. Black music today no longer contributes to pop hits, when in the 60’s it did. If you have to search for a ... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? He was one heckuva guitar player. He played many instruments. And he’s absolutely right. Why? What era has as many actual hits? And he’s referring to Motown too, for he grew up on Motown. And besides being surrounded by great songwriters Motown’s ... | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. If you were born in 55’, as I was, it was a truly special time. Color TV and home computers had yet to be invented. Who remembers watching Gunsmoke on Sunday nights on a BW television. Much of the music created in my generation was dictated by the... | |
| The best room upgrade: $2250 Florida sounds like *ell! Why would anyone want to live there? | |
| Speaker Road Trip It’s tough to beat Martin Logan’s, imo. Maggie’s with the right subs are very good as well. Martin Logan’s of today don’t need subs. Boxed speakers rule audio, but that’s because there are so many more of them. But we’ve all got biases. Mine rest ... | |
| More watts or better power ? If you’ve a small room what is it do you feel your 50 watt Class A amp isn’t providing? I’m in a small 10 x 15’ room. I’m driving Martin Logan Summits with a 45 watt tube amp. I’ve grateful to find bliss in a small room. | |
| Get a load of this Deceptive add for a Gryphon Amp here on AG I’ve been here since 1997 when AG began. It’s my understanding they’ve always taken the position that we’re only owners, and you’re on your own. So tread lightly. |
