| can you ID this music for me? Mofi,The tune was so familiar that I assumed it was a more well known piece. But I do have all of Lance's stuff ripped to my various drives and listen to them periodically, so maybe that's why it resonated with me. I'll listen thru and confirm. Th... | |
| can you ID this music for me? RWThe player, Lance Keltner, does sales demos for a guitar store called Destroy All Guitars. This video is a sales piece for a guitar made by Rick Toone. The guitar, not the song, is called the Black Dove. But thanx for the effort.Marty | |
| Youtube Music Videos. I'm jealous. I've heard it 10,000 times, but this will be your first. As Franki Valli put it "Oh, what a night!".Happy listening.MartyPS The record covers a lot of ground. One example: the last acoustic guitar solo piece is not identified by title... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Ghost,Always happy to share my passion for Lindsey's material with anyone who might be interested. Just enjoy and spread the word.Marty | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Jim,I respectfully disagree with you on the merits of the "speakers to match the room" idea. Unless you happen to have an anechoic chamber for a listening room, you're always hearing a combination of the speaker and the room. Below 150ish hertz, y... | |
| one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs In general, I'd always say that two is better than one. And (see below) four may be better than two.There are many excellent 12" subs out there for which a pair costs less than a single r 528. Both Rythmik (my choice) and SVS (highly regarded by m... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Ghost,Lindsey's still my #1 guy. He doesn't have a great voice, but - as you observed - he sells a song with everything he's got. IMHO, he's that rarest of combinations; a brilliant pop songcrafter (a left brain skill) and a crazy ass rock n roll ... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Ghost,That version of "This Is The Time" is available on a bootleg 2 cd set called Live at The Coach House. It's a rip off in that it's sold as a double CD, but the 2 discs are actually the same (ah, bootlegs). The good news is that it's often ava... | |
| The Weavers Ghost,Ah, the impact of the hard drive. In auto, listening room, and Sonos distributed music system, "Bombs Away" has been in monthly (or more often) rotation since I rediscovered it many years ago. However, due to the ripped nature of the source ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Over the past several years I've used an ARC VT 130se, Cary 805, Prima Luna monos, Bel Canto integrated, Pathos integrated, and one or two others with the Ohms. Given that I've also rolled a half dozen different output tubes thru the PL (kt 66 bei... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Because I use an Onkyo pre-pro (Audyssey) with my Ohm 100/twin Rythmik subwoofer system, I recently got hold of an old Onkyo 508 amp, cheap. It's a very cool looking beast (large illuminated meters) and provides 250ish wpc to the Ohms. (I had the ... | |
| The Weavers Marq,Good call on The Kingston Trio. IMHO, they might be the clearest example of how this genre really morphed into the mainstream pop music of the '60s. They were hugely popular, and I know that Martin Guitars considered them critical to the comp... | |
| The Weavers I'm a Weavers fan. I can see how it feels "fluffy" to those used to more modern sounds, but...Their music develops tremendous momentum exclusively from vocals and acoustic stringed instruments. The rhythmic urgency feels (to me, anyway) like it un... | |
| Advice needed Please, To Fix Or Not To Fix? IMO, THX is pretty much meaningless. As to whether the Audyssey multi-Q room correction is worth the extra $, it's your money so it's gotta be your call.Marty | |
| Advice needed Please, To Fix Or Not To Fix? Zar,There are several important features on AVRs, and everyone's gotta set price priorities. Personally, I value Audysey multi-Q room correction very highly. This includes room correction for the subwoofers. Opinions vary, but I'm completely sold ... |
