| Tribute bands on autopilot You are correct! The point of tribute bands is to NOT put out 'new material'. But people who enjoy performing enjoy performing. How do you think stage actors do it? | |
| Headphone amps Doesn't look like many people answered your question about those particular amps. I wish I could answer but I've not heard them. I've heard some of the others mentioned, but that's not what you asked! 😁 | |
| Perhaps a guilty pleasure.... I always enjoyed Heart. Saw them once at Winterland in San Francisco opening for Sammy Hagar or something; they had an after-show party at a nearby hotel that I went to and had a nice chat with Ann Wilson. I told her that the cover of 'Dreamboat A... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? @wolf_garcia + 1 on Gary Brooker, a truly great voice.... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @hoosierinohio - Pete Sears was born in Kent and has lived in the US for many decades now, so he would not have had a Cockney accent. He's a great bass player though and has been with Moonalice for a long time now. Barry Sless who used to play gui... | |
| Favourite Guitarists @noske - I'm a big Cold Chisel fan, and just recently got that super-deluxe set of 'Circus Animals', with the framed signed photo and all. Yeah, Mossy is a superb guitarist - he sure lets it rip on songs like 'Letter To Alan' and 'Hound Dog'. They... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? @clearthinker + 1 on Roy Orbison, known for his spectacular voice. | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways When listening to music, all my listening is FT. Otherwise, I'd just as soon have silence. | |
| Best Place for Bootleg Recordings? If you're looking for live audio or video, YouTube is not a bad place to start looking. All kinds of rabbit holes to fall into for your favorite artists.... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? I've had a lot of TOTL headphones come through here, including Abyss, ZMF, Focal, Meze, Audeze, and others that are slipping my mind, but the winner for me is Susvara through my Eddie Current amp. I do use Utopias with my DAP though... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? @soix - Indeed, and if it wasn't for used and demo gear, it would be more than I could handle! But the Eddie Current amp is the only thing I've got that's new..... I do have a Donald North Audio Stratus on its way at some point soon, I think. I li... | |
| Your suggestions: Headphone + DAC/Amp combo? I use an MSB 'Analog DAC' going into an Eddie Current Studio B tube headphone amp, and plug my Susvara's into that. Sounds not-half-bad! | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home @sounds_real_audio - I've often thought of doing that, as long as the initial consultation payment was credited towards the purchase price, if I made a purchase. I would also insist that they do any delivery, setup and pickup so they'll know what ... | |
| Top 5 Vinyl Recordings Looks a lot like 'What are your five favorite albums?, unless you think that some that you love on vinyl you wouldn't like so much digitally. | |
| Audioquest Niagara 1200 @lowrider57 - and I got an Equi=Core and a Deep=Core to try to deal with an alarming amount of noise I was getting from this tube headphone amp I'd bought; I contacted the amp maker and he suggested trying these. I'm sure they work great with some... |
