| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others . . . and then there is the hard to find bootleg of when Alice Cooper and his band got together with The London Philharmonic and laid down an impromptu jam session. They rocked out on Dead Babies. | |
| Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others The version of The Wall that Roger Waters did ("Live In Berlin") featured at lest a couple of different orchestras on at least a couple of tracks. Elton John did a CD with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in '87. | |
| Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ we had a blast. Folks took this really seriously, which made it even more fun. There was probably some heavy betting going on. | |
| Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ I had to comfort my dog today and reassure her she would not be some evil neighbor’s dinner. She is very sensitive! ✌️ I've been telling my dogs that very thing since last night and all day today. I don't know if I have managed to convince them. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? That's above my pay-grade, @thom_oz . | |
| Triangle Art Metis Horn Speakers Very impressive for the price point. I did a google and they are 60k a pair? Those are way way way out of my league. | |
| Recommendation for tube preamp I am going to go out on a limb and guess that every one is going to tell you to buy the same kind of preamp that they own. | |
| ??? 220v Audiophile Grade Ground Lifting Plug??? I have a vague recollection from back in the early '80s, of when I was stationed in the RPI, of plugging my strobe light into an outlet in an off base apartment I was living in, and smoking my strobe light. As I remember, it sure looked like a 1... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To A different post in this forum ('music') made me think of a couple: right after I read the review in Stereophile of Steve Earle's '97 releases, Train A Coming and I Feel Alright, I went out and bought them. It actually took me a while to start l... | |
| Oldies that stick in your head... (More than one) different oldies at different times seem to occupy my head space. Lately I have been substituting one of the nicknames I use for one of my dogs for the word "Dixie" in "the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I’ve been doing the sam... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Yes, it was a fantastic show. Buddy played an hour of his songs with Emmylou and Regina McCrary joining in. Just guitar, cello, and upright bass. Steve was in top form and did about an hour solo, before bringing Emmylou, his sister Stacy, Lucin... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @deep_333 , reading your posts is probably the same as what cutting one’s self is like. There is nothing to be gained or any other redeeming value to it, but I do it anyway without really knowing why. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Could you explain how a very tiny room such as your car's cabin just seems to never get "overloaded", Maybe because he isn't running Von Schweikerts for his car audio? | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets It's like a lot of things--it depends upon what you have in it and what you want to get out of it. | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? I’ve found a number of audio components that managed to be very detailed (ie, resolving) without being bright or edgy..But it took years of looking. Components like that are unicorns. What, pray tell, were the magic unicorn components that you ... |
