| Are solo efforts ever better? I'm with lowrider57 when it comes to Debbie Harry and Eric Clapton. I saw Deborah Harry and Blondie at the Santa Monica Civic. They were just plain fun. I still listen to a couple of their albums. As for Clapton, thanks to his work with the Bl... | |
| Question to those believing in speaker break in I'll ring in with ghdprentice. Just enjoy them. Put on your favorite music. It also might be fun to put on something praised by critics that is completely foreign to your tastes. Who knows? Maybe the new speakers will help win you over. | |
| Best Alignment Protractor? I've hated needle/cartridge mistracking since I was in my single digits. I've always hated spitty sibilants, buzzy vocals & scratchy violin sections. And don't get me started on hashy-sounding pianos. It's a major reason why I lived with a Sh... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll No AC in the house. Only very quiet ceiling fans and windows that open to the trade winds. So despite my tube gear I really don't expend much electricity overall. As for disturbing neighbors, I don't play my stereo very loud, in any case. | |
| How to match a Cartridge with the right phono preamp? erivera -- I have a Moon LP3. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Do as your conscience and pocketbook tell you. In any case, as I mention in another thread, when my hot-running Class A Mytek Brooklyn Bridge bit the dust I replaced it with a cool-running Cambridge CXN. Not quite as wonderful-sounding but still a... | |
| How to match a Cartridge with the right phono preamp? Before the component decided to roast itself to death, I truly enjoyed the phono stage of my Mytek BB. Luckily, I still had my old Moon Phono Stage in the closet. Yes, the Moon doesn't give me quite as much three dimensionality, but its sound is h... | |
| Best Alignment Protractor? An old plastic Dennesen Soundtractor. Yeah, the part of the device that extends from the center hole to the tonearm's pivot point broke at some point in the distant past, but it was easy to accurately put it back in working order with a couple win... | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? How 'bout if we clear up the Solo Artist vs. Group Artist to-do by looking at the album's front cover? Does the album cover have the band's name or the artist's name? If it's both, the group name still gets the chicken dinner. Even better, how 'bo... | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track desktopguy -- The way I remember it, 4 Track cartridges and players existed before 8 Track ones. My sister had one in her Mustang. | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? Some truly excellent examples here. | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? How about Michael Jackson after the Jackson 5? | |
| Instrumentalists you can recognize after 6 bars..? I like the idea of using six bars to make an assessment of who the performer might be. You're not just hearing the head riff. You're getting a glimpse of the second, as well. | |
| Kate Bush I enjoyed Kate Bush's music for a good while. Heck of a voice. Lots of drama. I think I may have even seen her live. | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Over the course of my audio existence I’ve had Reel-to-Reel, Four Track Cartridge, Eight Track Cartridge, Cassette, CD, and Direct-to-Bits recording media. I’ve spent more than my share of time making recordings off the radio, and off of various b... |
