| Best Covers A few more covers that Bob Dylan did that I remember I liked in my childhood were Lily Of The West, Spanish Is The Loving Tongue, and Big Yellow Taxi. | |
| Signal tube versus power tube, sound impact? Going on about 30 years ago I spoke with Andy of Vintage Tubes (in Michigan) with basically this same question. I was interested in retubing (with NOS) a pair of ARC VTM 120s (6922s and 6550s) and a Cary SLP90 (12au7s). Andy's advice (which I fol... | |
| Best Covers . . . and on that note, I will recognize Bob Dylan's cover of Mr. Bojangles. Janis Joplin covering Me And Bobby McGee, maybe? | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear I haven't auditioned gear for quite a while, but if I was going to I'd probably use the Cowboy Junkies cover of Sweet Jane off the Analogue Productions SACD. I have a couple of Patricia Barber Cafe Blue SACDs and I'd probably use assorted tracks ... | |
| Best Covers There was a poster on the dimeadozen torrent site several years ago who was a huge Dylan fan and he put together a compilation series of various artists performing live versions of Dylan covers. @ezwind , that made me think of Bob Dylan coveri... | |
| Sound and Music I'd say that when I was searching for sound I discovered jazz and found that I kind of like it. (I cannot say the same about kind of liking classical. Yet.) I'd also say that I would prefer sound AND music, but if given the choice of music I li... | |
| Best Covers . . . here’s another one I just thought of that used to blow me away: from Dave Alvin And The Guilty Men’s Interstate City CD: the Jubilee Train/Do Re Mi/Promised Land medley absolutely rocks! | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Back in the Dennis Had days, the customer service at Cary Audio Design was fantastic! There was gentleman named Kirk Owens working there who was absolutely great! He would answer any and all questions I had whenever I needed to call CAD on the p... | |
| question of soundstage Oh....beg y'all's pardons.... You're referring to A amps.... As the woman was prone to mention after a rant or dozen.... "Never mind..." ? | |
| Best Covers . . . which makes me think of Jathintha's cover of Fire And Rain. And although I realize it is probably blasphemy, I like the covers that both Jacintha and Patricia Barber recorded of Light My Fire. | |
| Best Covers . . . @bgross @immatthewj - Sundays covering "Wild Horses" was also mentioned on 2/8. Excellent 90's vibe - good call I found where you listed that one on 2/4 . . . as I typed: I either missed it the first time or forgot about days later.... | |
| Best Covers @bgross , my eyesight is bad and getting worse every day, and I do not see it on 2/8. But no matter, if it is, it is, and a beautiful haunting rendition, such as that one, deserves being mentioned at least twice. How about Joan Osborne's live c... | |
| Best Covers Lucinda Williams and David Crosby covering Return Of The Grievous Angel is another one of my favorites. | |
| Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing! I'm just gonna keep on rolllin' with the gear I got 'till it's time for me to fly. I need another dose of Thorazine. | |
| How long does Class A have? The point is this. Political topics and opinions are not allowed on an audio forum, and for good reason. There are other forums for this. It’s not rocket science Exactly. Try out audio asylum as an example of one of those forums. |
