I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
On a serious note, I kind of remember I once stumbled on a thread (here on A'gon) related to tube amps making a hum or buzz, and I thought I remembered someone posting that either a failing transformer or failing electrolytic caps (the large power...

Thanks, @roxy54  .

@roxy54  , what CD would you recommend for someone to start out with her?

@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...

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...

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...

A weird buzz?  Paraquat?

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... 
Are You a Swifty?
Ok Swifty. Not really.  I think I've only listened to a couple of her songs.  One was a quite long one, a ballad of sorts that she performed on SNL, and the other one I remember hearing on a public radio station I used to listen to when I was d...

"Lana Del Rey probably takes it as a compliment." Absolutely. Adele has mentioned Lana as a great influence and she certainly took that as a compliment as well. Well, I do not see why that should be "pathetic."  
Guess who has new speakers in their lab?
@nonoise  , good to see you are among the living!  No longer wishing all the best for everyone?  I cannot say that I blame you for that.  
Guess who has new speakers in their lab?
I don't find it at all unusual that OP would put a discussion about a video pertaining to speakers in the amp-preamp section. I used to wonder about that also.  I remember that there was a member, @jumia  , who used to do the same thing . . . I...

Her latest album is a blatant rip off of Lana Del Rey’s sound and style. So much so that it’s downright pathetic. Lana Del Rey probably takes it as a compliment.

Bro, her new album sucks...it's full of filler crap. The critics aren't wrong here... The poetic lass has run out of talent, it appears!! @deep_333  , did the critics always love all of the albums you put out?  
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
Have you read and understood Bernard Mandeville before i mentionned it here? Have you already coupled it with rené Girard ? Those two hacks never wrote anything even close to as good as The Art Of The Deal.
