| Strings Dilemma Mara,My experience is with archtops, so I don't know if it's really applicable to your situation. I've never had a problem with d'Adarios, but...Are your new d'Adarios strings bronze (like my d'Adario strings are)? If so, have you played bronze st... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Soundgasm,The short solo in service to a great pop song is almost a separate subject unto itself. I'd also choose the Rundgren example you cite, and I'd add Dave Davies' (Kinks) solo from "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", Dave Edmunds'(Rockpile) solo... | |
| ARC versus Joule Electra I guess I'm just a "stone age" kinda guy. | |
| ARC versus Joule Electra Not me.But I do swirch between an ARC LS25 and Jouloe 100 pre. If this is of interest, respond to this post and I'll provide some flavor.Marty | |
| Bel Canto S300 driving Gallo 3.1s Everest,Who knew?Bel Canto told me to leave 'em powered on (said there is virtually no wear or power drain) and never mentioned the fixed level option.Thanks.MartyUkthunderace,Sounds like the output from your Transporter set at full is still less ... | |
| Bel Canto S300 driving Gallo 3.1s Not sure if this is on point (will be relevant only if this problem is NOT unique to your current set-up), but my Bel Canto integrated has an annoying ergonomic quirk in the operation of the LCD readout on the front panel. Any level below app 50 t... | |
| classical label monitors It's also worth noting that the VERY FIRST thing many (and, I suspect, most of the modern, decently capitalized) studios look for in a monitor is XLR connectivity. They're set up this way for many reasons (the performance advantages of active, bal... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I've had my absurdly heavy ARC VT-130SE for 15 years. If I tried lifting it off its stand to deliver it to a prospective buyer, that effort might just do me in. So this amp might qualify by default.Marty | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I knew this thread would be trouble. Ordered a Swart Space Tone Reverb yesterday.Marty | |
| Maggie MMG A sub controller (like the Velodyne SMS-1 that I use) will help get seamless integration of the Maggies and your sub -IMHO, critical for optimizing the kind of set-up you're contemplating. (You'll get room corrected bass out of the deal, too.) The... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Tabl,Like the Turner, it's among the more expensive solid body guitars out there, but both are really unique instruments. OTOH, I have a neighbor with a Teuffel, and the price tag on that thing makes the H-B and Turner look like budget models. Als... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? BTW,I agree that the Swart amps are great. When I decide to invest a few bucks in an amp, there's a great chance that Swart's the way I'll go.Marty | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I mostly use a Rivera Clubster, which sounds pretty decent, is very versatile, includes user friendly footswitching, and was reasonably inexpensive on the used market.My main guitars are an inexpensive, entry level US Tele fitted with Joe Barden's... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? I last posted to this thread almost 5 years ago! Is that possible?Since that time one cd has definitely gotten the most time - "Out of The Cradle" by Lindsey Buckingham ca. 1992. Has seen almost daily use in my car. Recently Don Dixon and The Jump... | |
| MBL Speaker Placement + 116F I haven't heard the F version, but I did audition an earlier 116 (sorry, don't recall which generation) in a room similar in size to yours - with the MBLs against the short wall, out about 4'. There were maybe 2 feet between the outside edge of ea... |
