| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) Janis JoplinWould Big Brother & The Holding Co. ever have sold so many albums without Janis? I believe that Janis was an exceptionally valuable lead vocals for their success.There are so many other examples. For the sake of this thread, thou... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I so often get ideas from this thread about what to play next (providing it is in my collection). So for today I just pulled out Poco "Legend" and Robert Plant "Shakin N Stirred". My Poco copy is a MFSL that I have owned since it was first relea... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @ctwith3 I also have a Chinook. It's really an excellent phono stage. I can't imagine a better phono stage without having to spend double the price. Maybe I should listen to my copy of Aqualung (Steve Wilson remix) on my new speakers. Maybe I... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes, the Steven Wilson remaster of Aqualung is great, too. Looking for even greater, though, I recently placed on order the forthcoming UHQR 45 RPM on 200 gr vinyl, remaster of Aqualung from Acoustic Sound and QRP. It's supposed to ship this we... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? James, is your Tull - Stand Up an original or the reissue?Just wondering.In January I bought the reissue, remixed and mastered by Steven Wilson in 2016 on Parlophone Records. It's quite good. Very quiet vinyl and a really good remix. And the "s... | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? I thought that metal tweeters was the way to go. I bought Mirage M-3Si quite a number of years ago. At first, the big open sound was great. But after some time it began to bother me; way too bright. Raising children and paying for higher educa... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I know that you guys have moved well past the comments on James Taylor, Flag. I just got to it last night. Wonderful album of music. Fantastic SQ. I'll be playing that one again fairly soon. Great find in my collection, and for free, too!Ambr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You guys talking about James Taylor got me looking for a long forgotten JT record I have. I got it in 1979, a "Promo Only - Ownership Reserved by CBS" that I got from the Columbia Records sales rep back when I was in hi-fi retail. I don't think ... | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? A great value is indeed some of the better Sansui FM tuners. If you are on a budget I agree to seek out one of those. Note: I sold many of them in my early retail days. Really nice sounding, never a problem, should be a solid vintage tuner for ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Coincidentally, just this past Monday I placed on backorder the Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East. This one is the Mercury, QRP pressing, 200 gram, 4-record set. I have never had this album in my collection so I figured the best choice would... | |
| turntable recommendations @stantheman2 About 6 months ago I bought a Raga Planar 10 with Lyra Delos. I also bought a better phono stage than what I had and chose the Manley Chinook. This combination is fantastic! I am amazed with the sound quality and mesmerizing effe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Blind Faith The super-group that made just one album. I have the original, with the 12 year old girl, nude top half of her body, on the front cover. It's a classic cover. Not the best recording quality, but the music is excellent.The Motels ... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? @arro222 now that is a great story. Your "15 minutes" is a life-long keeper. I hope you enjoy that memory for many years to come.And just for fun sake, 222 is my lucky number. It was my dorm room number at college, too. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Slaw, how is the SQ of that Mo-Fi 45 RPM Cheap Thrills album? Is it worth the cost and record flipping, or is it really no better than the reissue from Simply Vinyl? The original recording wasn't spectacular but maybe Mo-Fi did a great job on th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You guys retired for the evening rather early. I watched a movie (Edge of Tomorrow; Live, Die, Repeat. A great sci-fi thriller) and then played a few albums until about 1:15 AM. I got the new Dynaudio Contour 60i speakers on Thursday. Played t... |
