| Favorite rock/pop male voices . . . I’d also put Josh Ritter on my list, and probably Ryan Bingham if I could disassociate him from that idiotic TV series he used to appear on. Also probably Buddy Miller. Cat Stevens. | |
| Favorite rock/pop male voices I prefer the sound of female vocalists, but Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zant, John Prine, Ray LaMontagne, Jim Croce, Dave Alvin, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson,... | |
| Does and don't Sorry, @jea48 , I missed that post. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I stayed up late last night and watched what I thought was a real good movie on Tubi. Limbo (1999) was so good that maybe it was better than real good. David Strathairn and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio played the leading roles, and Kris Kristoff... | |
| Natalie Merchant - Leave Your Sleep Although I have not heard Leave Your Sleep, I’ve always liked the sound of her voice going back to The 10,000 Maniacs days. I enjoyed her solos and harmonizing on the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Revisited CD, and her cover of Because The Night on the ... | |
| 5ar4 rectifier tube @dekay , I like that he specifies that some of the tubes he sells are used. . . . | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Check remote function. In my unit, it controls volume and nothing else. The buttons are for the cinema unit I think. Volume is all that the remote does for my SLP-05. By virtue of the high gain, I’m assuming the volume will be set relative... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Just rewatched Glengarry Glen Ross. Some great acting! Oh hell yes! Good pick, @slaw ! What a cast: Pacino, Lemmon, Spacey, Ed Harris, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin. . . . I haven't watched Pacific Heights recently, but that's another one I've ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I finally watched Oliver Stone's Snowden. It kept my interest throughout. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? . . . and my apologies: ’cannot live without’ and ’cannot get enough of’ are not synonimous criterias, and I had last responded as if they are. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? @immatthewj We are already aquainted through my post on the adverse effects of recording artists and has offered up the best reply so far to this new subject…..A really comprehensive and heartfelt answer to the OP @tomcarr I am not exactly s... | |
| 5ar4 rectifier tube You might look at Japanese production 5ar4 (Brent Jesse has them for $130/each). Looks like he's out of them right now, @dekay . I saw one on ebay for $100 not all that long ago, I think the seller was calling it a "Japanese Mullard," but afte... | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? I was at SWAF And was in the ARC room. I noticed those guys weren’t using gloves and ask one of them about it. He said it was unnecessary and I would say those guys are experts +1, @limomangus , I think that's a safe bet. | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? The artists/musicians that I cannot get enough has changed and continues to change with the passage of time. In the past it has included Springsteen and Dylan, but my last true obsessions were with Lucinda Williams and The Cowboy Junkies. At one... | |
| 5ar4 rectifier tube First thing you need to do is realize that Uncle Kevin is a salesman, and a business owner. That doesnt mean that he is dishonest, which I dont beleive that he is, but he does steer his customers to what he has on hand. And that isn’t always your... |
