| HUMIDITY I live in the south too. Keep the A/C at 77 or 76 in the summer. Old drafty house. Humidity is kept at comfortable levels. What number? Who cares? If our equipment can't run optimally at comfortable temperatures and humidities then we need differe... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving I can’t help you much but I have essentially the same project coming up.I will also use a high quality 3/4 plywood with hardwood veneer exterior.The recommendations you got on the internet are probably sound. But who has the time, skill, resources... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Lots of good stuff here. But it seems like we're getting into some esoteric stuff in regard to some covering musicians.Obviously music is a matter of taste and it is going to be common for someone to hear a cover by a band or artist and like the c... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I saw a televised Van Morrison concert where he did Astral Weeks at the Hollywood Bowl. It was kind of sad. As mcslipp mentioned, you could tell it was Van Morrison singing but otherwise his singing was just a big muddy run-together jumble of word... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. I have to say, I do not care for the Joe Cocker version of "A Little Help from My Friends.I also prefer the CCR version of Proud Mary. I like watching Tina perform it but still think the CCR version is a lot better.I suspect I'm the odd man out on... | |
| Alabama Shakes Oh, as for vinyl....I just can't get into it. So I guess I'm not an old enough fart. ;-) | |
| Alabama Shakes I guess I'm just an old fart stuck in a bygone time. I'm fairly tech savvy, especially when it comes to digital photography and high end image editing and printing....so its not that I'm a Luddite...I just prefer to own my stuff...and for the most... | |
| Great Wumo comic for vinyl lovers - and detractors Well, I've considered getting into vinyl. Went to the record store a week or so ago. Found some stuff I was interested in. The lowest price I saw for a single new album was $30.I don't need that kind of expense in my life right now. | |
| Expanding your hobby by expanding love My sister-in-law, her friend who is a professor of piano, a violin professor mutual friend, my wife and a large group of others successfully assembled a professional symphony for our small, southern, ex-mill city. We had our first concert earlier ... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. For me Shout by Otis Day and the Knights (Lloyd Williams) is one of the greatest covers of all time. The original Isley Brothers version is really good. Our local oldies station plays it all the time. But the Animal House version just adds so much... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Gary Clark, Jr.'s cover of Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun.If you like blues based rock, a little R&B, occasional heavy guitars all mixed together you should check Clark out. He's the real deal. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Since we’re discussing American icons like Over the Rainbow, I’ll throw in this "cover" of Moon River. This is actually the "demo" recording with Mancini playing the piano and Mercer singing.I have it on an Oxford American Southern Music CD Sample... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Jerry Lee Lewis (of all people) does a cover of Over the Rainbow, which is not as good as Garland, and is obviously more masculine, but I like it.https://youtu.be/XEu28N2TINoI do like the Eva Cassidy version. But, I still like Garland's best. | |
| A song murdered by someone. albarge said:"To me, the Righteous Brothers’ recording comes across as excessively "mannered," defined in this context as "overelaborate in delivery." While many people may interpret that as contributing to soul, to me it just detracts from the be... | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? terry9 said:"That's exactly what cheap electronic components are and what they sound like."I suspect that's what the guy with the $500,000 speakers (used) says too. And unless you have $500,000 speakers he'd say your stuff was "cheap" and sounded ... |
