| Just listened to The Blue Nile I love "Hats" -- and The Blue Nile. Their follow-up, "Peace at Last," was released in 1996. It is another glorious record. It has more acoustic guitar, but it is still quite obviously the same band, with the same front man, with an equally fabulou... | |
| Admiral Television? Thanks for that recommendation, Marty. I'll definitely check it out.-- Howard | |
| Admiral Television? Well, what do you know about that. I've been following this thread with interest, and never would have guessed. One cool thing is that it's got me listening to some Todd Rundgren records I haven't played in many years. I saw him only twice -- both... | |
| Admiral Television? I love this question. Thus, my third post (though one has yet to appear). When I suggested last night that it might have been Rick Derringer, I based that on two things: thoughts about who was moving in what circles back in the day, who would actu... | |
| Admiral Television? I'll write more later when I've got a real keyboard in front of me, but let me just note that "Marquee Moon," Television's first record, post-dates "War Babies" by some three years. The band Television may not have even existed when Admiral Televi... | |
| Admiral Television? OK, here's another not-at-all confident guess: Rick Derringer. Huh? Rick Derringer? Why on Earth would someone bring him up here?Well, here's my thinking: The most obvious reason for someone to choose a nom de guitar would be because he was under ... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos When I was searching for "Two Against Nature" a few years back, I posted a question on these fora and learned the following:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1156281899 | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally All that time, all the effort, all those cooks -- and we're still going to have those ridiculous stereo mixes on the early LPs, the ones with all the vocals on one channel. Oy.Some would say that doing anything else wouldn't be authentic, would be... | |
| Got addicted to White Stripes. I truly love "Elephant" on vinyl. Fact is, their whole catalogue sounds great on vinyl. (I've got them all except "Get Behind Me Satan," which never had a commercial vinyl release, though there were several hundred pressed for reviewers. I would s... | |
| Jackie Gleason - wow Very talented in a variety of arenas. Singing. Dancing. Oh, yeah, comedy, too! | |
| Balanced preamp with HT pass-thru needed $2K I'd suggest that you take a look at the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE. I've been using one in my two-channel rig for a year and a half now, and I couldn't be happier. It's got balanced inputs and outputs, HT passthrough, and is as transparent as all get ou... | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? A neighbor stopped by to borrow something. I'd been listening to Jeff Buckley's "Grace," and as I went off to get what she was looking for, she sat down in my listening chair. When I returned, she asked, "Where is the sound coming from?"When I tol... | |
| "Rubber Soul" The Beatles recorded in mono up to and including the so-called White Album. The stereo mixes, largely an afterthought, especially on the earlier albums, made use of the left and right channels -- the new thing -- as a toy."Hey, look -- we can put ... | |
| Vinyl reissue labels to avoid? Was reading the following just the other night -- http://www.analogplanet.com/content/reissue-labels-avoid-and-some-best-proceed-cautionIt may be of interest.-- Howard | |
| bass suggestions 12 x 16 room.... The suggestion for sealed box speakers is a good one, in my experience. I've got a room of similar size, and had good luck with a pair of little Spendors (forget the model), and I'm back to using my beloved Celestion SL-700s. It took about eight m... |
