| The Weavers Marty - your post made me dig it out...listening to John Stewart's "Bombs Away Dream Babies". Gold is the 1st track. Vocals w/Stevie Nicks & guitar w/Lindsey Buckingham. 1979 RSO vinyl...pretty good recording. A bit of irony, I guess - the cov... | |
| The Weavers To Marqmike - add The Mommas & The Poppas to the list (or however you spell 'em). | |
| Hegel Amplifiers Recently purchased a used H200 here on A'gon. It is nicely detailed but very smooth and non-fatiguing driving Totem Forest speakers. I can certainly see why people say it is tube-like. Improved bass (not sure if it is really deeper or tighter or l... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Moody Blues - A Question of Balance. Haven't played this in I don't know how many years (probably decades). Not sure when I bought it. 1970 gatefold with lyric sheet and London Records sleeve. Great sonics. Nice bass. I don't listen exclusively to... | |
| How can do you extend the life of your tubes? Thanks, Mark. Helpful info. The other thing I was hoping to be able to do was match tubes so if I had a group of, say, EL34s of the same brand but with different histories, be able to put together a quad that could be managed by my amp's auto-bias... | |
| First favorite tune Thanks, Dayglow. I was 12 years old. Wonder if they were able to retire on the residuals. 3 weeks was a nice run. | |
| First favorite tune Don - Interesting bit of history. Would never have guessed some place other than a major market was first to play them. Not to wax nostalgic or anything - but hard to remember those days as anything other than magical. Week to week it was, "What a... | |
| How can do you extend the life of your tubes? Great follow up question, Warrenh. I'd wanted to get a tube tester and did talk do a couple of electronics techs with units for sale. Those discussions were not real helpful. They were very non-commital on whether a tester (and talking some of the... | |
| First favorite tune Great thread. Can't recall the 1st favorite tune. Grew up going to church so always music there. Parents had a few Henry Mancini records that got played. My mom liked Andy Williams. She was a bobby soxer and Sinatra fan in her teens. Remember "The... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned I read Rrog's response as "tongue in cheek" but didn't read it as saying room treatment and power cords are worthless. I think the (tacit) point being made is that there's a no cost improvement option (speaker placement) that ought to be explored ... | |
| Review: Matix Platinum PAL 142 Interconnect It's a spoof, right? | |
| Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level? Speaker elevation of floor standers(especially shorter 2 ways) seems like a variable that doesn't get talked about all that much. I agree with recommendations to try different heights for yourself. With Totem Forests in my room (I'm listening from... | |
| suggestion for replacing Totem Arro Pablo - my 2 cents. If the stands don't work, put the Arros in a closet for the time being . Buy something more kid-friendly to try. Sell the Arros if you no longer feel the need after you had the the kid-friendly option for a while. (Riffer - I'm... | |
| Les Fleurs by Marsen Jules Thanks all for the additional input and affirmation. Was on the Marsen Jules website last night streaming Nostalgia. Very enjoyable. Will check out the other things he has done as well. Tom6897 is right. There is SO much great stuff happening it's... | |
| Cream: Disraeli Gears Documentary Thanks Don & Actus- I'll do some more hunting around. The Band -another one I'd like to catch. |
