| What are your favorite "HOT" songs? @tablejockey - I saw Montrose a lot in San Francisco when that first album came out. I reckon that if Sammy and Ronnie hadn't had such ego conflicts, they could have become the American Led Zeppelin.... 'Montrose' and 'Paper Money' are such great ... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman put out some pretty amazing sounding records.... I'm not the biggest fan, but I can appreciate it. Saw him at a club in San Francisco shortly after 'Bat Out of Hell' came out... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? Seems to me that criticizing hip-hop for lack of 'musical creativity' or whatever, is like criticizing a symphony because you don't like tympani - it's not the point of the music. It's about rhythm and words and the rhythm of words.... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @sounds_real_audio - Uh, no - 'Rapture' was not the first rap song; very, very far from it - it was paying tribute to earlier rappers like Grandmaster Flash... | |
| What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs? @czarivey - totally agree with you about the heat!! I live in San Francisco, where it doesn't get above that very often, especially in the summer months, where you're more likely to freeze than get too hot. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption So much ignorance on here it's breathtaking. | |
| Your favorite album cover... Beatles white album. | |
| China built tube amps @jjss49 + 1 | |
| What are some of your favorite "COLD" songs? Put on anything by Icelandic band Sigur Ros - you'll feel like you're on a glacier... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker @roxy54 + 1 - especially Dynaudio.... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 @arafiq - it's amazing the amount of good sounding bass that those little Fritz speakers can put out. Certainly more than my Harbeths. The only problem I had with them was it took about 2 months or so before they were broken in properly and sounde... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - So selling you my Harbeth speakers would be out of the question then, yes? 😆 | |
| Bit the Dollar and bought headphones. @smatsui - great set of headphone gear you've got! I've got Susvara, Utopia, VO, and LCD-5, though I've got the VO's up for sale - great headphones but just didn't click with me and I don't want to deal with pad rolling. I also use an Auris Nirva... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” No such thing as an 'exact representation' anyway. From what vantage point? The sound will be different for every one.... 2 feet from the performer will not sound like 15 feet from the performer. Orchestra level will not sound like the balcony. Go... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - Heya! No, I've got some speakers and headphones up for sale, but not any TT.... |
