| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? No one has mentioned "I've got a brand new pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key" or Joe Cocker's "You can leave your hat on".Maybe more suggestive than sexy, but worth a mention. | |
| Do these speakers exist? Drubin,A recent review linked from the Silverline website noted that the Sonatina 3 uses 1st order x-overs. Another portion of the Silverline site implies that common crossover topology is used throughout the line. FWIW | |
| Do these speakers exist? I believe that the Silverline Sonata and Sonatina both fit your requirements. I have an older pair of Sonatinas that I still use. Terrific looking, modestly priced, fullish range, high sensitivity and impedence, first order x-overs. Mine are very ... | |
| Parsifal Encore Bass/Low midrange For the most part, I'd agree with Norfish. The bass extension and seamless integration to a world class mid band distinguish the P/E. That said, there is less than state of the art pitch definition in the bottom 2 octaves. The P/E is very good in ... | |
| Vince Guaraldi recommendations Thanks for the advice. Just got a remastered CB Christmas and I love it. I've heard these songs a million times, but it's fun to really listen to them for the first time. Bola Sete, Cast Your Fate and Black Orpheus wil follow soon.Thanks again,Marty | |
| Music to make you laugh by In an idiom similar to the Waits tune Astock cites, the Tom Kirchen (ex-Comander Cody lead guitar) live shows feature Kirchen playing a medley of famous lead licks "quoted" on guitar while Kirchen shouts the original player's names in rapid succes... | |
| Music to make you laugh by Kid Creole not only writes hilarious lyrics (see "No More Casual Sex" his Reagan era lament for the passing of the sexual revolution), but he also has a great, sly sense of musical humor. Check out his disco version of "Edelweiss". | |

| Used Linn Bookshelf Speakers question If memory serves, the LInn Kan (ca. late '70s) was specifically designed for use against a wall. Haven't heard 'em in decades, so I can't speak to their sound quality.Marty | |
| Best "one-on-one" recordings... one voice and... Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson | |
| 5 tables one choice, opinions please As I noted in my post, I only heard the Nottingham very briefly w/ an unfamiliar cart in a very different system. I couldn't meaningfully compare it to any of the other 'tables I heard. As to the more controlled comparisons with VPI, Rega, Project... | |
| 5 tables one choice, opinions please I'll suggest one more option:The Acoustic Solid Wood (60mm platter) w/ microprocessor speed control, stock OEM RB300 and Ortofon Vigor HOMC cart @ $2K. IMHO this thing represents really unusual value and is worth checking out.BTW I spent the best ... | |
| Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ? I've never heard the 103 either. | |
| Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ? The Ortofon Vigor is a European HOMC that is packaged w/the RB300 by Acoustic Solid (from whom I recently bought a table/arm/cart). The combo works very well and this cart (or US equivalent Ortofon HOMC) represents good value at its price point - ... |
