| So disappointed in today's Americana I’m not even real sure what constitutes Americana per se and not sure where R&B fits within that genre. Below is a list of bands/musicians who I think are very talented and at least somewhat retro and whose music I enjoy but whose CDs/LPs and ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? St. Paul and the Broken Bones - Half the City. I lie it but I'm not blown away. May take a few more listens. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Van Morrison- Tupelo Honey. I like every song on the album. There are a few Morrison album where I don't like any of the songs. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? Yep, that's up and coming for sure. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Cowboy Junkies - Lay it Down. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? The band is successful in a grass roots sort of way. They're still playing 1000 seat clubs etc. Nothing wrong with that but they certainly haven't hit the 'big time' yet. Lots of low level bands get on the late shows etc.I wish them all the luck i... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? uberwaltz, Soul Cages is my favorite of Sting's solo stuff. A fine album and the CD with "Q Sound" has exceptional sound quality.Tonight I'm listening to Vintage Trouble - 1 Hope St. Very bluesy and soulful. Been discovering a lot of these young n... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Who-My Generation.....in mono. Don't know anything much about vinyl but this was new record but the vinyl is thick and heavy. Feels like one of those old 78s. Despite it being in mono it sounds great. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Leon Bridges- Coming Home, serious new R&B/Soul. Refreshing neo-retro. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? If you know LZ and if you know Robert Plant you will see that the singer of GVF even parodies his movements and stage presence. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying.I don’t see them as a parody band. I think they are serious about what they do.I d... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. A simple question by a beginner might go like this....no, it does go like this because it is a question that is frequently asked here and on other audiophile websites: "I'm new to this and I've got $4000 to spend on two speakers an amp and a pre-a... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. Al, I see what you are saying. When I said "relative value" (in the original post) I meant dollars. Sorry if that wasn't clear. But even if someone just thought I meant the relative importance of each of these components the question is still very... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @orpheus10 " Without a shadow of a doubt, the most desirable aspect of high end audio is "The Holographic sound stage",I’ve read a number of articles about this by high end audio critics who do not agree with that." Realism is not oversold, but it... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. Some have replied in a fairly straightforward fashion. Thank you. Others have not. That's okay too. But I think it is kind of odd how some folks seem to be trying really hard to make this harder than it really is. I don’t really understand why.It ... | |
| Relative component value to overall SQ. @inna "This thread was clearly started by non-audiophile."I think you are correct. The more time I spend on Audiogon the less I think that I am an audiophile. But I'm okay with that.@inna "The question makes little sense in real world and one neve... |
