| Stax soul jag Funny you should mention it! Yesterday, while my wife was shopping for whatever it is she shops for, I stopped in at HEAR music and found Billy Stewart's "Best Of" cd. This includes a personal favorite of mine, his R&B take on "Summertime" fro... | |
| bands you truly miss Tvad,Crowded House is back on tour.Tim Finn isn't in the line-up this time out.MartyPS I'd add The Delevantes, The Feelies, The Reivers, Utopia, Rockpile, and The New Radicals to the list.PPS I'm not sure why Squeeze qualifies as a guilty pleasure... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? G ClefDo you know if Wagner is the second guitar on Hunter's long intro to Sweet Jame on Rock n Roll Animal? I only recently realized that it wasn't a solo.Marty | |
| What song best describes you or your life? "No More Casual Sex" by Kid Creole or"(You've Tied Me Down With) Battleship Chains" by The Woods or, maybe even"You Got What It Takes (To Take What I Got)"From our Wedding Playlist, but still appicable on the eve of our 4th wedding anniversary! | |
| What music do you & your spouse/partner both love? Not a lot of overlap, but she does really like some White Stripes along with her Black Eyed Peas. Can't really figure that out. | |
| External motors connection with the speed of my t I use the larger wood 'table from AS. Near as I can tell, the motor has not moved a mm since I set it up. However, this is a much larger motor than the smaller wood model you own. I can tell you from experience with an outboard motor on a Transrot... | |
| Lipinski Sound Monitors ??? I auditioned them in LA about a year ago and was impressed. They reminded me a bit of the Merlin sound (and in my book that's a very good thing) but were notably rolled off at the top and espescially the bottom end. Nonetheless, the resulting bala... | |
| Devendra Banhart - Anybody listening ? Marco,Thanks for the heads up - I thought 16 Horsepower was dead and buried by the turn of the millenium. Their first couple of records were definitely freak (not so sure about folk) and I really liked them a lot. I'll be sure to look for "Folklor... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? Judging from their demos at the LA HE show, I'd say MBL. | |
| Jethro Tull Qdrone,You get all-time obscure music stud for "Wild Turkey". I actually laughed out loud when I saw your post. If I recall correctly (highly doubtful) it was a pretty decent Tull knock off. I certainly never thought I'd ever even TRY to recall th... | |

They have a great selection specializing in signed, vintage posters from the mid 1800's through contemporary poster art. These may range from $250 on up (and up), but there are many wonderful pieces. I... | |
| Opinions on newest NHT Absolute Zero I don't know the A-Zero, but I believe that NHT makes (or used to make) a different bookshelf model that features adjustable dispersion for bookshelf vs open space placement. Might be worth checking out for your application.Marty | |
| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's My first impuse numbers one through four have already been identified;Hiatt, Thompson, Westerberg, and Crenshaw.Number 5, however, could go a lot of ways;Graham Parker or David Byrne or Allen Toussaint or Elvis Costello or Todd Rundgren or Karl Wa... | |
| Merlin VSM or Revel Performa F52 If you're happy w/ the ML subs and can get them to integrate well, I can't imagine choosing the Revels. From 50ish hz on up, the VSM strike me as damn near SOTA. Below that threshold, their performance is much more dependant on the room. The revel... | |
| CES / THE Show The split opinion on MBL is interesting. After the LA show(my first), I started a thread asking about excessive bass and volume levels at audio show demos. In it, I noted that the MBL demo was a) overloading even a very large room with bass and b)... |
