| Whats playing on your system today? You betcha Loomis,I believe that I own everything that Holsapple has participated in; DB records, solo album, duet with Stamey, and Continental Drifters. I also tried to make it a point to catch his nightly (?) shows in a little dump (can't recal... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Ghosthouse,Odd coincidence.I just finished listening to "Mavericks" by Chris Stamey and Pete Holsapple. I'm trying to work out arrangements for both " I Want to Break Your Heart" (Stamey) and "She Was The One" (Holsapple) for solo acoustic guita... | |
| Active Subwoofer Crossover This also raises another possibility - Audyssey. I've gotten great results integrating my subs with Ohm 100s using Audyssey in my main system, but - as a practical matter - it means replacing the preamp with a pre-pro. That's not going to win o... | |
| Is Maggie 20.1 still overall better than 3.7? Bdp,I had had just a slightly different take on the ET. There was a local dealer that had a pair and I was impressed. The more extended low end vis a vis the Maggies made me initially lean toward the ET, but over a longer term listening session,... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Matthew Sweet .....Girlfriend. Somehow, It fell out of rotation. What a mistake that was. One of my favorite guitar records ever. Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine, among others work wonders within the confines of some amazing, beautifully crafted ... | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? Funny you should ask. I just bought a cheap Bluetooth speaker for streaming guitar practice tracks from you tube. A $70 pair would work, marginally but......While shopping, I saw another BT speaker that you might want to check out. It turns out... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Sorry Slaw,Not the most precise language I've ever used in a post - I didn't intend to suggest that we live close to each other. I'm in SoCal. I was only pointing out that if Iron Butterfly is playing here, they may be out touring the land. Pos... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Slaw,I may be making this up, but I think I saw a local billboard the other day (it always lists upcoming shows at our local club) with an Iron Butterfly date. They may be touring. FYI. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nutty,"Green Manalishi" is indeed a Peter Green composition. One of my favorites, at that. Like "Black Magic Woman" (popularized by Carlos Santana) it's another Green song that's often misattributed to a band that covered it. Sadly, Green had a... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Like a lot of folks here, I just spent some time with my favorite white, British, blues-rock guitarist, in my case, Peter Green. Specifically, the expanded version of John Mayall's "Hard Road". Green's take on Freddie King's "The Stumble" is pre... | |
| Subwoofer Getting bass right is vastly more difficult than getting higher frequencies right. You simply have to move more air and deal with the interference issues attendant to the omnidirectional nature of low frequency information. Powered subs are purpos... | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin I'm going to disagree with Bdp re: "The Kinks have two that fit". They have (at least) three; adding in "Schoolboys in Disgrace".As to his view that prog rockers "discarded American rock n roll", there's much more than a little truth to that. Pu... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Bdp,I saw a show on the Good Guitar tour at Irving Place in NYC. I caught Crow's entire set and was also impressed, tho I do remember thinking that she was so little that it was hard to see her behind her guitar.The other memory of that night was... | |

| "Cracked Rear View" Boy, I'll tell you that Hiatt must be good if everyone agrees that Slow Turning and Bring The Family are clearly his best. Both are superior records, IMO, but Stolen Moments is one of my all-time favorite records. Personally, I prefer it to Fami... |
