| Larry Coryell RIP My introduction to Larry Coryell coincided with my introduction to high-end audio. I was visiting a friend in college and his roommate was playing the album, Lady Coryell, through MacIntosh tube equipment. I've been hooked on high-end - and Larry ... | |
| Replacing Parasound p7, but with what? I am currently using the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE and I love it. I initially thought it was a little rolled off on top, but soon realized that it is just very smooth in the high frequencies. It is really nice to be finally rid of brittle, bright trebl... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Hi crazyeddy,I can't explain the math to you, but the inverse proportionality that you spoke of has to do with the fact that impedance is the AC version of resistance. While it is also measured in ohms, it is not the same as DC resistance. | |
| Question for Amp Designers Yeah, too bad we can't get Julian Hirsch in here to answer this one! | |
| Shortest rock song with lyrics.... Check out "Earache" The World's Shortest Album with songs as short as 1.3 seconds. Whether any of the vocalization could be considered "lyrics" is questionable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8vDIJYWliI | |
| Ry Cooder recommendation... Many of Ry's albums are pretty eclectic. He liked to do old depression-era stuff, gospel, calypso, and world music. He sings the lead vocals on much of his music and, while an adequate singer, his singing is not his strong suit. There is a 2-CD se... | |
| You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH Good gawd, y'all !!!!! | |
| Wyred 4 Sound or PS Audio I have the W4S STP SE, and was immediately struck with how transparent it sounds. I originally paired it with a Musical Design D-140 and Maggie MG-12's. I now have it paired with a Son of Ampzilla II and Maggie 1.7i's. The combination is the best ... | |
| Long lost songs Roxy54:Also loved Magical Misery Tour. It was a VERY convincing impression of Lennon sung by Tony Hendra. The lyrics were all actual quotes from Lennon. dweller:There is a more uptempo version of Under My Thumb on the album Got Live If You Want It. | |
| TEKTON OWNERS I have a pair of the Lore Reference. As bcowen said about the regular Lore, they also require some break-in time. I also thought they sounded pretty thin out of the box but, once I had a little time on them, I gradually started pushing them a litt... | |
| Record grading, Using "Mint" as a grade for opened vinyl. czarivey:I would say that a record that has never been sealed could definitely be considered Mint, if it meets all the criteria. In fact, sealed records present a dilemma due to the fact that the record could be defective in a number of ways, but ... | |
| Record grading, Using "Mint" as a grade for opened vinyl. The Goldmine record guide (Krause Publications) grading scheme has become the standard for assessing the condition of records. Their pricing guides use Near Mint (NM) as the baseline condition for their valuations. Here’s what they say about Mint ... | |
| Holiday Today I see whatcha did there!! Haha! | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? samzx12:Oh man, now slaw knows where you live!dgarretson:Had my 916 stolen 6 years ago. You're not riding mine, are you? ;-) | |
| RIP Merle Harggard Merle was definitely one of the greats. My old band played almost exclusively blues and blues-oriented rock, but we also did his Working Man Blues. bdp24,Speaking of Okie from Muskogee, the Youngbloods remade his song as an answer song with new ly... |
