| Led Zep Fool in the Rain I'm not a drummer, but I found this explanation of Bonham's drumming on a number of Zep songs to be really interesting: What Makes John Bonham Such a Good Drummer? (youtube.com). Happy Listening. df | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Not sure if they qualify as being close enough in price to the Sasha DAWs, but the Vandersteen Kento Carbons are very good at around $40k new -- and I think someone has some listed at around $30K demos. (No affiliation). With the ability to fine... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Black Dub -- superb musicianship and great vocals -- and well recorded, as you'd expect from Daniel Lanois production. | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Someone mentioned early Linda Ronstadt, but the three albums of standards she did with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra would definitely fit the bill. Happy Listening, df | |
| Late night blues John Campbell, "Way Down in the Hole" | |
| Tube Recommendations Please Thanks to everyone for the great recommendations. Happy listening! | |
| Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT I have 5As powered by Ayre and it's a very good match. That said, Richard V typically demos his speakers with ARC electronics, so that might be something to keep in mind. And, although I have only heard them briefly, the Vandersteen amps are imp... | |
| Pacific Audio Fest I expected to be impressed by the big VAC / Von Schweiker rig and I was. But two other systems were also impressive without me having any preconceived expectations going in. They were the Acora speakers and the Joseph Audio / Doshii system. Hon... | |
| Phono Stage Amp I scanned other responses and didn't seem to see this idea -- apologize if it's already been mentioned. But turntables don't like vibrations; they're much more susceptible to vibrations causing distortions than, say, a CD player. Maybe when you ... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music While they're not a new model from a dealer offering free return, I think you could do a lot worse than the Dunlavy III's that are currently listed for sale on Audiogon. I am in no way affiliated with the seller, but I have had Dunlavy II's in th... | |
| New Kid on the Block Sure appears that original poster is somehow involved in marketing this product. I obvioulsy can't say that for sure, but the tone implies that kind of relationship. If that's the case, it's odd that it wasn't explicity stated. I respect those ... | |
| Allocation of analog resources My current phono stage is an Audio Research PH-5 and I'm very happy with its performance. (Although new tubes are probably in the offing -- it's always something...)My basic premise is that balance is required in each part of your system. I thin... | |
| One box do it all Might be so obvious that it's overlooked, but Rotel's top integrated has 200 WPC, a built-in MM phono stage, and streaming capabilities. And, no, I do not own one. :-) Happy listening. | |
| When someone listens to your system for the first time. My wife and I hosted a dinner party for another couple a few weeks back, and I was spinning Eric Clapton "Unplugged" in the LR while we ate in the adjacent (mostly open) dining room. The husband had been to our house a few times, but it was the w... | |
