| Most underrated female recording artists.. I too think this is a great thread. One of the main reasons I follow Audiogon is for artist recommendations and this thread is a corker(English for really really good) I have already ordered some CD, having listened to a number of singers on YouTu... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? Shawn Colvin, "Guitar Town", on the Cover Girl album A great album anyway, but her rendering of this song is wonderful. A despairing cry to escape small town boring existence | |
| Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hearing Loss Sorry to hear about the Sleep Apnoea and hearing problems. I suspect the two are not connected, but who knows. I suffer from tinnitus as most of us getting older are prone to. Usually you can just ignore it, as if it is constant, the brain just tu... | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Some great suggestions here, some I'd like to explore. Looking at Amazon though, I am just astonished how second hand prices are rising. Many of the CDs I looked at are over £30 each. That's too much for me to pay to explore a new artist. Yes I kn... | |
| New arm for TW Acustic Raven one The problem is the arm fits into a gimball or bearing in it's base which holds it firmly. Well it doesn't hold firm anymore, the arm moves nearly a centimetre on it's base. It still sounds OK, but obviously is not a stable platform for a cartridge... | |
| Lieder anyone? How can I have forgotten Songs of the Auverne, Kiri Te Kanawa or Vittoria de Los Angeles for me. | |
| Opus 3. Reference recordings Great label and nobody has mentioned the incomparable Eric Bibb | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? No mention of Daedalus Audio I think. I have had my Darama large standmounts for over 10 years and no plan to change.All the range is in the mid 90s sensitivity, with a benign load too. As for WAF, Lou is a Carpenter by trade I believe and mak... | |
| Reaching the end of a music collection I too had a collection I couldn't really manage or listen to. about 2250 CDs and the samenumber of LPs. I got rid of most of my vinyl through a dealer friend, leaving about 400 LPs, which is more than enough, though I am back to buying a few agai... | |
| Opera - Video streaming or buying? Another vote for Medici TV, my wife has a subscription and I watch occasionally. Like everyone, I have my foibles and only really enjoy listening on LP or some Cd's loaded onto my server. I do enjoy going to see the Met and Royal Opera streams in ... | |
| The Good Stuff Those Lidisi tracks, wow! | |
| Innuos Zenith Mk3 or something else? I have been using the Zenith Mk2 for some years and am very impressed. Both the sound and ease of use are excellent. Ripping really couldn't be easier. I believe the Mk 3 is a reasonable step up, incorporating many of the upgrades in the Zenith SE... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? Some great suggestions I might have made, if I’d thought of it first.Peter Gabriel Don’t Give Up, try Willie Nelson’s version tooJoni Mitchell almost anything, but “ If I had a River “ will do, or anything on “Blue”Bonnie Raitt “I can’t Make you l... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? Many of my LPs are from the 60's and still sound great. Obviously vinyl quality varies. The thin stuff from the oil crisis is an example of some of the shoddy pressings around. The real risk is unintentional damage taking out the LP, putting it on... | |
| Artists you feel you can rely on, buy any new album unheard. "They eventually found the percussionist in the morgue, but he wasn't quite dead, so they warmed him up again and he played in the concert."david12,Is that supposed to be funny?"Roxy 54, Not funny at all, just a true story. It speaks to what Russ... |
