| Your perfectly produced/performed studio rock song Good Vibrations also deserves to be mentioned here. | |
| Best Live Album Ever... Ooops!Not only is the website not called Beeswing.com (it was beesweb.com), it seems to be gone, now.The new URL for Richard Thompon direct sales is:http://www.richardthompson-music.com/ | |
| Best Live Album Ever... A lot of good calls here, already. One more thought:Richard Thompson has done a bunch of great live records, and one or two have already been mentioned above. However, the one I find myself returning to most often is "Two Letter Words", available ... | |

| old vs new pre-processors of same brand IMHO, the most audible difference will be the room correction/subwoofer integration via Audyssey (particularly xt32 on the higher end models) on the newer models. IME it will swamp any performance delta in the DACs themselves - particularly if (as... | |
| audiophile rockers Re: Tom PettyA friend who (until recently) worked at Warner Bros once commented to me that Petty's the label's pickiest guy (on sound) by far.Marty | |
| audiophile rockers I remember hearing that Cat Stevens mastered with Maggies, too. Can't swear it's true tho. | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? Irv,If a pair of 12" Rythmiks weren't well under half the price of a pair of 12" JLs, I probably wouldn't have gone there either - home trial or no home trial. Buy, unpack, set up, evaluate, re-pack, re-ship a big ass box...maybe not. However,....... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? I use a pair of Rythmik F12 subwoofers in my system.Before Audyssey I used them with ARC electronics (LS25 and VT130SE). IIRC, I briefly used them without room EQ, but only briefly. Honestly, that set-up was in use too briefly to comment usefully ... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? I use a pair of Rythmik 12" subs in a similar sized room for music only. They are integrated to main speakers (MMGs or Ohm 100) via an Audyssey XT32 equipped pre-pro. In this application, integration is seamless and bass performance is (to my ear)... | |
| Two JL F212s verses two Velodyne 18 plus? GHaas,Since you're using a pre-pro with ARC, you might want to consider a pair of the Rythmik F25s that I mentioned earlier, and linked here: http://www.rythmikaudio.com/F25.htmlA pair of these will provide MASSIVE clean output capability for a ro... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk A reasonably priced, very nice looking omni is available from Decware. It appears that the design is a knock-off of Ohm, but I've never heard the speaker so I can't comment on SQ. I think it's available for in-home audition/money back, so if you l... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Rok,Have you seen Clapton in concert over the last decade or so? He basically plays ONLY the blues: straight up, and - more often than not - acoustic. You may (or may not) dig his playing, but the music is every bit as much the blues as anything B... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Between the two, I'll take Peter Green. Both Clapton and Green are blessed with marvelous melodic gifts and both are great when on their game, but....Both guys run hot and cold, both had big-time drug problems. Check out Fleetwood Mac's "Man of Th... | |
| Active/Passive Bass Correction Dilema IME, Audyssey Xt32 is hard to beat. This is full-range room correction and includes subwoofer x-over in the digital domain, so analog types may object. However, this system is very, very effective.Refurb Integra 80.2 pre-pros, which are Xt32 equip... |
