| Sloppy but Famous Contest Oops - to clarify. My favorite popular music fingerstyle players are hangin' in there... I wasn't trying to specifically equate Renbourn et al with the classical players you note (although Renbourn has recorded some pretty awesome Baroque material... | |
| MOG alternative Bakalovb,I'm having a similar issue. The in-dash unit in my car allows control of MOG on my iPhone via the console mounted rotary controller with a readout on the in-dash display. However, it won't recognize the Beats app at all. I emailed Beats a... | |
| Sloppy but Famous Contest Tostado,I play primarily fingerstyle and couldn't agree with you more! It explains so many of my shortcomings.OTOH, most of my favorite fingerstyle players are getting on a bit, but they're still on top of their game. John Renbourn is 70, Richard ... | |
| Marc Cohn Thanx for the reminder. I always liked what I heard (Walking in Memphis and a few other radio favorites) but I never really followed his career. I just checked his website and he's playing near me in April. I just put it on my calendar. | |
| Sloppy but Famous Contest Not sure what you're referencing re: Leo Kottke I'm just a casual fan, but I saw him play in Minnesota maybe a decade ago. He clearly has ridiculous skills. (Or at least he did back then.) His genre tends toward the rhythm-centric, so he may play ... | |
| Beats Music Service Another MOG guy here.A friend of mine recently interviewed for a senior position at Beats Music (he's the former CEO of a competing streaming music service). I understand that the long range plan is a little different: They call it curated music. ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I guess we do. | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... Well, at least you've kept your sense of humor.Sorry if any post I've contributed here reads as condescending - that was never my intention. I've tried to keep it civil but on point. Guess I came up short. What can I say? Sorry.You can doubt what ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... The mention of guitar was merely made to point out that my comments were subjective as well as empirical. I'm a musician (tho sadly not a terribly skilled one) and my subjective evaluations are based on many hours a day around live music (my own) ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... Wolf,I thought my statement re: distortion was clear enough, but here's a link that should be crystal clear:The REL R-305http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/subwoofer-tests-archived/990-rel-r-305-a.htmlIf you scroll down to the THD graph, you'l... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... To clarify re: "overloading the room".That is not - and never has been - the issue for me. When setting up strictly by ear, I always start by attempting to level match at the x-over point. I have generally been good to within +/- 5db in that job (... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... Neo,Since Bob and Wolf (both pretty convincing contributors here) are providing conflicting advice, I'd suggest that you find a good high end HT installer/retailer and do an A/B comparison with Digital Room Correction and without it. That's a simp... | |
| Shopping for an integrated amp If you're using a subwoofer, I'd take a serious look at the Harman Kardon HK 990. It has bass management and room correction software as well as an impressive Citation power amp section. Good luck. | |
| Vandy or Maggy? Schubert,I always advocate an active x-over (and I have no other experience for the MMG/subwoofer combo), so another pair of cables and an outboard active x-over between the pre and power amp (or sections - if the AVA in an integrated with pre out... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? One more thought:Right at the $2k price point, a pair of sealed SVS 12" subs and a pair of Magnepan MMGs is another option to consider. Lots of folks complain about mating planars to subs, but I've paired MMGs with dual Rythmik subs (just a little... |
