Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker? About 30 years ago a dealer (who shall remain nameless) in Philadelphia told me that basically, "Too much clean power has never hurt a speaker." He told me a lot of other things that I suspect would get pushed back on here. | |
Are You a Swifty? I used to have a couple of Abba 8-tracks. In certain respects my tastes were rather eclectic back then, and in certain respects they still are. | |
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Your description of communism applies to the likes of Lenin, Trotsky, and Mao who appropriated the language of Marx to legitimize their authoritarian impulses and objectives, much the way Trump and other authoritarian personalities currently expl... | |
Are You a Swifty? +1 , @rick847 . | |
Are You a Swifty? I think Dylan chooses to sing as he does. His Nashville Skyline album proves he doesn’t have to. @bdp24 , going back to a few posts that I made ago, I remember once reading that Bob Dylan’s style of vocal work came from trying to imitate Woody ... | |
Are You a Swifty? A good (or great) singer is, for me, one who can move me positively with the way he or she sings. Which Bob Dylan did (and possibly still does, although I haven’t listened to anything by him that is at all recent). I remember on the LP "Dylan" h... | |
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @chrisoshea , Oscar Madison was not majoring in medicine. | |

Are You a Swifty? Thanks, @roxy54 . | |
Are You a Swifty? @roxy54 , what CD would you recommend for someone to start out with her? | |
Are You a Swifty? @immatthewj I guess because his Melodies and his lyrics are so engaging. They’re good enough I can Overlook his voice. @simao , okay. As an aside, and not that it relates or applies to Taylor Swift, but I remember (it must have been around the... | |
Are You a Swifty? I nominate Mary Fahl. I had to do a Google to find out who she is. I've heard of The October Project but I don't think I am familiar with anything they have done. Her Reimagining The Dark Side Of The Moon sounds interesting. But what are you... | |
Are You a Swifty? There are tons of great artists that lack technical proficiency, either vocally or instrumentally. Staying with a nonsarcastic and nonconfrontational tone: does this put you in the camp of those that maintain that Bob Dylan could not/can not si... | |
I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem? A weird buzz? Paraquat? | |
Are You a Swifty? I've been listening to Dylan for decades and decades and I've seen him in concert a few times and I still stand by the fact that he really does not know how to sing. @simao , then why have you been listening to him for that long? I ask that q... |
