| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Yeah, I guess it’s time to try and define the term "tweak." To me it’s a no cost or relatively inexpensive fix that can be done with little or no effort, using your own set of ears as a guide. Something like putting a set of tiptoes under your amp... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Deoxit. | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Through sheer good fortune, a book of piano sheet music a neighbor laid on me happened to have a xerox of Scott Joplin's rag "The Chrysanthemum" hidden inside. I thought I was a knowledgeable Scott Joplin fan, but this particular piece had comple... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Yeah, Orpheus, I was trying to be as straightforward as I could when describing the technical differences between the two genres. That, though, doesn't mean I prefer one genre over the other. Particularly, when it comes to the guitar, blues has ... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... If you really want to search down a root difference between jazz and blues, go to the chord progressions that underpin the vast majority of the tunes & licks in the two genres. Forgive me if I simultaneously over-simplify and get a little tec... | |
| Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting? Yeah, spelling can be pretty appalling in chat room postings. The way I see it, though, it's damn near impossible to de-flack all the 'corrections' offered up by happy-go-lucky spell-check software. Then there's the miserable keyboard choices av... | |
| Wife opened door to build my best ever system...ideas for what it should be? A Hilo Haudiophile sez HI. I got to say, too, that I worry more about my tranny gear going belly up in the heat than I do my tubed gear. The way I figure it, the designer of the tube stuff probably made doubly sure the device can take the heat. ... | |
| Second hand vinyl surface damage. Do what elliottbnewcombjr says. He's really got the situation pegged. | |
| Serious Problems with Qobuz brucknermahler -- do what you must do. You can always restart a subscription if you change your mind. And stop listening to those damnable, interminable German symphonies! | |
| Serious Problems with Qobuz Sometimes you just got to roll with the punches. Streaming services are a veritable treasure for a music junkie but 100%-every-moment-of-the-day reliability is just something that doesn't happen in the real...or shall we say virtual...world. If so... | |
| Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting? Once upon a time I wanted to be a Linguistics professor. I actually got an M.A. in the discipline before my life made a thoroughly enjoyable left turn. At any rate, my masters thesis focused on English Grammar. And lemme tell ya. When it comes... | |
| Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting? Yeah, a post from a non-native English speaker is usually easy for me to spot. Not that this is a bad thing, though. I enjoy & appreciate the sometimes off-beat syntax and left field word choices a non-native speaker will put on the page. I... | |
| Beatles best album and concert dvd? Beatles '65. They sound fresh and wonderful. They're having fun. They may not be experimenting yet, but the songwriting is ever more secure & natural. Yeah, the stereo quality is 1960's clumsy and prehistoric, but the overall sound quality o... | |
| Is my Stylus damaged? Over the decades I've left my share of needles dancing around lead out grooves for a couple or three hours. Two or three times I stupidly let a record spin around all night. It definitely spun my brain around a bit, but it never physically harme... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? Kevin Deal is the founder/chief of Upscale Audio. Though I am not 100% sure on this, I'm pretty confident he's the guy behind the PrimaLuna brand. |
