Best Rock Drummers @danager I know Who fans are sensitive about not praising 'Who Are You' but for me, that album was a departure from what The Who did prior. Keith Moon knew he was dying, so a depressing cloud hung over the entire band. Disco was pumping steady and... | |
Isolation Feet Upgrade I’m reading good things about Iso Acoustics and there prices are reasonable. It seems like I could spend a lot of time and money trying this footer and that footer in order to fine tune my amp and DAC but in the end, I generally settle on what jus... | |
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? It amazes me that a post about whether all DAC’s sound the same would be a four page thread. I posted on recommended mono vinyl and I think I got eight responses. Maybe I should start a thread on whether warped records sound the same as flat recor... | |
Best Rock Drummers Always thought Kenny Jones was a better drummer than Keith Moon, just not for The Who. But aside from 'Quadrophenia' and 'Live at Leeds' I couldn't care the least about The Who. Faces on the other hand, the best thing Rod Stewart ever did and Kenn... | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @viablex1 Yeah, when the time comes, I'm going to make a request that my dealer have a demo pair to listen to before I purchase them. | |
Isolation Feet Upgrade I only found the distributor in the UK; https://www.mcru.co.uk/shop/?filter_brand=black-ravioli | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @ghdprentice I’m fine, a sore knee and neck but nothing serious, thank you. Unfortunately, I am without a headphone amp and I’m reliant on the plug input on the front of my amplifier. However, I may enjoy good results regardless. If the Focal Cle... | |
Best Rock Drummers Keith Carlock is also a jazz drummer who plays rock. Or rather a drummer who plays whatever he must. My favorite bands with him is with Wayne Krantz on guitar. | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @ghdprentice I have a highly thought of amp but still I'm under the impression that certain headphones/speakers match better than others and I can only afford one pair of headphones. But yesterday my car was totaled from a hit and run accident so ... | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @yage I wanted to get away from planar headphones as I have Quad Electrostatic Speakers and wanted something different. | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear @viablex1 Could you explain what sounded objectionable. Were you using a preamp, headphone amp, etc...? | |
Best Rock Drummers I started drum lessons at 5 years old in 1967. My parents bought me a set in 1968. I played up through college then gave it up. I liked Jazz more than Rock. My influences were Philly Jo Jones, Art Taylor, Paul Motian and lately Joey Baron. I shou... | |
Best Rock Drummers No one mentioned Pierre Moerlein! | |
Best Rock Drummers Dallas Taylor is underrated. I saw him with CSN and he was very impressive. That being said, the best depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you need a studio drummer and want a platinum or gold record, Gary Chester is a very good choice. Ha... | |
Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear Here's the technical data for my amp but I'm not sure where the headphone plug fits into this; Technical data (according to manufacturer): Output power: 2 x 250W/8Ω, 2 x 450W/4Ω, 2 x 800W/2Ω Total harmonic distortion: <0,02% S/N ratio: >90d... |
