| Odd shaped Amps and preamps Unison is another design forward Italian manufacturer worth thinking about.Marty | |
| Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates Per Bob,I assumed the OP would use the bass management in his pre-pro, so he will almost surely get the benefits of bi-amping there. (No REL style, high level crossover set-up to argue about in this case).My comment re: low return on incremental s... | |
| Odd shaped Amps and preamps Sorry...My bad.It's Enjoythemusic.comthen scroll to the tube lust pages.Marty | |
| Odd shaped Amps and preamps You might also want to check out TubeLust.com (I'm not sure that's the precise cite name, so google first, to be sure). It's basically a collection of photos of extreme tube amp designs. I'd think you'll find some ideas there.Marty | |
| Odd shaped Amps and preamps Not exactly on point, but related.In my contemporary living room, the system comprises a small chassis Pathos Classic One integrated and the matching Digit CD player driving SF Cremonas. These components were chosen as much for appearance as for (... | |
| Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates One further note on bi amping. IMHO:Bi amping has benefits. Without doubt, it certainly has theoretical benefits - an active x-over ahead of the power amps will generally produce better distortion and phase performance. Further, offloading deep ba... | |
| Kid Creole & Coconuts Halcro,I don't know about vinyl availability because I got lazy and went pretty much exclusively to the binary dark side several years ago. I have the first five or so on vinyl from back in the day (which I'll keep in case I get "un-lazy" one day)... | |
| one last show I asked the question because a recent thread here linked a clip to one of my favorite shows ever. It got me thinking about where I personally ranked that show and would I choose to see it again if I could only have one more chance to see a concert... | |
| Best rock bass player Iso,When did Danny play bass? I know he played a double neck with a bass side, but I don't think I've ever heard him play a straight up bass. If there's a record you could point me to, I'd love to check it out.Staying on this subject, if people wa... | |
| one last show I was also 12 and on vacation in the Catskills with my parents who - curse them! - would not let me wander the short distance down the road to see the show. So that choice occurred to me, but....I'm honestly not sure how I'd answer the question. S... | |
| Kid Creole & Coconuts All of the early records (Fresh Fruit, Tropical Gangsters, Doppelganger) were IMHO great records. Then there were a few spotty releases followed by Kiss Me, To Travel Sideways, and Too Cool to Conga all of which I like a lot (tho they all took som... | |
| Best rock bass player John McVieThe bass figure that kicks off the breakdown in The Chain is my defining bass moment in rock n roll.Marty | |
| One artist, band, you keep coming back to For me, that means consistent interest over the course of a long career, because hearing the music evolve is part of the pleasure. On that basis, There are probably 4 that fit that bill above all others:Todd RundgrenFleetwood MacRichard ThompsonKi... | |
| Kid Creole & Coconuts BTW, his newest release "I Wake Up Screaming" is actually very, very good. He did a good job of incorporating contemporary dance music elements into his own ouvre, so it's a little different, but still recognizably the work of the master. If you l... | |
| Kid Creole & Coconuts Thanks for the link. I agree - best version I've ever seen (and I've seen A LOT). I will always believe that KC & his Coconuts were, at their peak, the best live band of our time.Marty |
