| Will changing gain affect frequency response? Psychoacoustics is the scientific study of sound perception. More specifically, it is the branch of science studying the psychological and physiological responses associated with sound (including speech and music). It can be further categorized as... | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? Thanks for the replies so far. The tube pre-amp (2-6H30s, 1 EZ80 rectifier) is what has a -10 db option. The effect from altering the phono pre gain setting was "heard" in playback using a solid state integrated amp (no tubes involved in that chai... | |
| Great female voices Thanks guys. Spotify has a bunch of her recordings. I will check those titles out. Hello again Don. Your visit planted the vinyl bug so I've been running the Technics. Fooled with the gain setting on the pre-amp. Seems like it perked up the ... | |
| Great female voices Hey Mofi. I bought that a long time ago (vinyl cutout) and it is one of hers that I do still play from time to time. Pretty much stopped following her closely after that one. Gave Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter a listen the other night. Somewhat int... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I'm glad you're enjoying our thread."O - Thanks (to all) for being a tolerant and gracious host! Like I said before, Jazz 101 for me. I like this thread because people actually TALK to one another in it rather than it being the record of a bunc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - as is often the case, very instructive comments from you. I don't have the training to articulate as you have but your descriptions seem entirely apt and in harmony with my own impressions (e.g., expectations for LM vs playing/style on ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello Alex and Thank You for the Les McCann links. Of what you provided I like what I'm hearing from the "On Time" recording. As Orpheus said, you got to be on the right wavelength on a given evening for the music to reach you. That other stuff... | |
| Great female voices Just listened to The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Enjoyed it very much. Was looking for a place to applaud Joni's talents as song writer and singer. This thread seemed appropriate. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report aolrmd1241 - Good to hear from another Roy Buchanan admirer. Thanks for commenting. I envy you having seen him live. For me, Roy, Rory Gallagher & (Mick Taylor?) make up a kind of trinity of "under-celebrated" guitarists. [I guess I might ... | |

| Long lost songs Thanks crazyeddy. I found the album on Spotify. That track is running now. I’ve seen her name around but haven’t listened to her at all. I tend to have a bad attitude about covers going in. Show me why I should listen to your version. What are you... | |
| Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player? Whipsaw - I like hifiman's suggestion to try the Herbie's Tenderfeet in your non-ideal arrangement. The owner's manuals often recommend a minimum amount of space around a given piece of gear. I doubt you will get that space even with the larger ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I guess in light of George’s link and since labels were being assigned previously, we can suggest:8. The OP = Shill Wolfie Cotton Ears? Seriously?? Sounds like something my 8 year old niece would come up with. Just by way of disclaimer, I don’t re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - Thanks for the reminiscences. It ain't all gone and nobody can take it away if you carry it around in your soul. I thought the Wikipedia entry about Les was interesting.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_McCann I like his piano work on Swiss ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Found it this AM on Spotify, Frogman. I sampled it briefly. Liked what I heard and think it’s worth further listening. Jazz philistine that I am, however, I could really do without the singing (hopefully only on the one track). I wish I could desc... |
