| Women Who Rock @tylermunns - yes, I can see that differentiation between music fans' discussions and industry awards. Categorization can be such a graveyard for great music that remains unheard because of it. | |
| Women Who Rock My point is that: People consider a male artist an….artist. A female artist is a…”female artist.” It’s just stupid. No one would make a thread of “best male vocalists” is not quite accurate, and I have seen threads of 'best male vocalists'... | |
| Women Who Rock @tylermunns - aren't there awards categories like 'Best Male Vocalist'? | |
| Women Who Rock @blackbag20 - That's pretty funny! And it's the reason I never got into those early Rush albums. | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT 88 “burn circles”? That's just what some tubes do. I've had 3 pairs of 300B tubes, including $1300/pair Western Electrics, and the glass towards the bottom turned dark on all of them quite quickly with use. | |
| Women Who Rock @tylermunns - indeed, and if they are good with it, so am I, and it often applies to more than just artists, too. | |
| Women Who Rock You might be able to say that about many marginalized demographics.... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! I'd rather hear from a reviewer who might have a 'real world' listening space like most viewers would. A review from an acoustically perfect space would give me no information at all about what I might expect in my own place. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones @unreceivedogma - the scene that sticks out most for me was when they are all around the mic doing the 'Woo! Woooo!'s in the background for 'Sympathy'. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus @sejodiren - and I worked in the local wholesale record business at the time, so one of our local WEA reps (Bam Bam!) also got me a Warner Brothers live U2 promo-only album; I think that's pretty rare these days. | |
| Solo sucess Phil Collins remained with Genesis while also doing his solo career; he did not split from the band. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus @sejodiren - I saw U2 on that first tour as well, at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco; they played 2 shows in one night; I got to stick around for both. | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive @m_j_s - totally agree; I can certainly tell the difference between an .mp3 and a ripped CD, and it's a big difference, at least on my system. | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO I thought doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is called 'practice'. Never understood that quote, and was it really said by Albert Einstein? | |
| Mini Review: Herron VTSP 360 (ESP) I've tried the polarity switch on both my Herron phono preamp and my line state preamp, and if there was any difference, I couldn't tell. For some people's houses, it might make a difference, though. Wonderful gear, though!! |
