| 2012 Discoveries Got the pic of the old geezer with his birthday bone! Thanks, my friend. Yeah, I agree, I've made some great friends over the years here and this is a serious turn away from giving the enjoyment of the hobby the same social possibilities the site ... | |
| 2012 Discoveries Jeez, I really HATE this new system - does everyone have to log in several times to post, or to access various aspects of the forums? There also seems to be no access to private message fellow members. I sent a criticism to A'gon who were asking f... | |
| 2012 Discoveries It's not from 2012, but I've just started listening to Beirut. If you're a fan of Devotchka, you might like this band. It's a unique fusion of Eastern European and Gypsy influences, through the talents of a 20-something crooner from Santa Fe, NM, ... | |
| Street musicians Most have probably already read this old story and seen the video, but in case not, check it out. Joshua Bell plays the subway. | |
| Street musicians Tracy Chapman began as a busker. Her earliest music is some of her most compelling.Related: I'd highly recommend the film, Once. It has a great soundtrack as well. | |
| guitar solos where less is more Have not read all the input her thus far, but enthusiastically second David Rawlings and Michael Timmons. Would add, Rory Block, Ricard Buckner, Tim Reynolds, Jeffrey Foucault, Patti Larkin...can probably come up with more, but those come right to... | |
| headphones-amp combination CW - the Fostex is sold at Moon Audio.Happy 2012 back at'cha! | |
| Arvo Part... Where have you been my whole life? I'll second, In Principio. Your list are certainly at the top of my own that I would have otherwise recommended. I'd add, Arbos, and Orient Occident. There is a compilation that you might also enjoy that includes Part as one of the artists. It is ... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I came to the conclusion after almost two decades of vinyl-dominant listening, that the expense and hassle and storage and routine was not worth it for what was becoming more and more marginal sonic benefits ( for me). Mt10425 directly benefitted ... | |
| External Hard Drive Search Frustration. Help The fact is even the best built hard drives can, and will eventually fail. Your best defense is backup' and the easiest way to do this is getting a mirrored RAID drive. Unfortunately they do tend to be a bit noisier because there are at least two ... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I think some of these bands / groups, spend as much time picking a catchy name for the CD / LP and the cover photo, as they do on the music itself. Another reason CD sales are down.Are you suggesting the title and marketing image a band chooses fo... | |
| Starting computer audio The digital out from a Squeezebox Touch has very respectable jitter, Orr lack thereof. No idea how it compares to your own suggestions but it does have a convenient interface and might be a worthy addition to your queries. | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? I find it interesting that most contributers to this thread don't have "system" links. Nor do they describe their music preferences. My musical preferences are also all over the board. Somewhat eclectic in some sense. Not much pop or rock or rap o... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? First, foremost, and far above and beyond gear, music. I could easily go the rest of my life with my music library and a boom box if I had to. I am grateful for the gear Ive owned that heightens my experience as much as it has, but it is by no mea... | |
| FAVORITE LP'S OF 2011 You might also want to try This Thread for a few more suggestions on the same topic without the limitation of vinyl as the medium. There are plenty of the suggestions that are available in vinyl, I suspect. |
