| Decware - any substance here? Gasm,I look forward to hearing what you have to say.Marty | |
| Decware - any substance here? Anyone heard their omni speakers? The design concept looks a bit like my Ohms - nearly full range omni driver crossed to a relatively conventional tweeter at a very high frequency. However, these appear to be more sensitive and capable of higher o... | |
| Live vs. recorded A lot of jazz is recorded that way, too. | |
| Live vs. recorded Niacin,Last count was app. 5,500 CDs and +/- 1,200 LPs.The other four slots in the car get rotated every week or so, but I tend to be a tad obsessive about Buckingham. Marty | |
| "American Sound" Speakers Historically, I always think of older JBLs as representative of stereotypical "American" sound. Prominent bass and lower "presence region" treble (relative to the midrange) and very dynamic sounding. Sort of the inverse of classic "British" sound.... | |
| Live vs. recorded Earlier, I posted that I prefer live recordings, but this thread got me thinking about a specific situation.For the last couple of years I've had the same two CDs in the #3 and #4 slots of my car's CD changer:#3 holds Lindsey Buckingham's "Out of ... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Listened thru the whole Ron Wood on the way in to work, today. Even the first few tracks are starting to grow on me - maybe like fungus.This is one of those loose, relaxed, bloosy things where the songs just meander for a while before they heat up... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? Mmike,My favorite comment on this debate came from a 'goner who asked:"If the wall behind the speaker is the "rear wall", does that make the opposite wall behind the listener the "front wall"?Just a funny observation borrowed from a fellow contrib... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 The Elton John/Leon Russell is a major bummer. I had HIGH hopes, but....As to Wood's new one , think of the boozy "Exile" vibe. Less polished than Petty's "Mojo" (Wood doesn't really have that pop instinct) but similarly evocative of that specific... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 Dgarretson,I really like the second half of Wood's "I Feel Like Playing" - a lot! The first handful of tunes almost put me off, but on repeat visits the last 7 tracks are very good - IMHO. You might want to spin it up one more time. If it still do... | |
| Live vs. recorded I'm with Shadorne - maybe because our musical taste overlaps a fair bit. My favorite rock/pop/funk musicians are types that meticulously craft their songs, but manage to add that rock n' roll edge that suggests that it might all fall apart at any ... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 From the "Good Things Come In 3s" Dep't:For those who liked the 60s blues rock feel of Tom Petty's latest and Los Lobos "Tin Can Trust", here comes....Ronnie Wood "I Feel Like Playing". It sounds like he does feel like playing, too, as the second ... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? Vienna Schoenberg series is designed for on-wall or near wall use. Not great, but not half bad. | |
| does a subwoofer kill stereo sound? String,I got a chance to listen to "Mississippi" again. I believe that you're right re: Day Dream, but my post was actually refering to something different, like the series of drum beats that begins less than a minute into St. James Infirmary. I b... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue Two - mixing tubes? The PL amps are designed to safely accomodate this. However, Kevin at Upscale can probably give you the upside/downside of operating the amp in this fashion. I think that I've used every outpube tube out there in my PL 7s and there's a fair bit of... |
