| Bands where U say Some real good examples, but too much focus on people dying.Yardbirds - suppose EC had stayed, Jeff Beck joins and they stayed a blues band.Led Zeppelin - Terry Reid was offered the vocal position before Plant. LZ would have been a twin guitar out... | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? Mono is every bit as capable of producing high end sound as stereo or multi-channel sources. By removing L/R soundstage info more attention can be focused on tone, rhythm and dynamics. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think it's safe to say that Miles Davis was envious of the success of Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix. They were being hailed as creative geniuses and were seen as pushing the limits of popular music. Jazz had been forgotten. Miles Davis redefined ja... | |
| Good Listening Lately So glad to hear someone else digging Sons of Champlin. | |
| 25 Watt Tube Amp for 90db Speakers? We're talking about Snell Js, a two way speaker with an 8" woofer. Regardless of the amplifier it is not a loudspeaker capable of reproducing orchestral peaks, cannonshots or Saturn V lift offs. With a 25 watt amplifier it should be able to genera... | |
| 25 Watt Tube Amp for 90db Speakers? 25 watts is fine. Snell originally spec'd them for amps as low as 15 watts. Would more watts be wasted, no, but 25 is sufficient to extract high quality performance from the Snells. | |
| D&D 's Here's a lengthy article about how the recording was made. BTW, the group's original name was Eric & the Dynamos. | |

| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono How does anyone know what power amp or integrated amp will work when you haven't told us what loudspeakers you're using. You asked a very general question when you really should have asked two specific ones. First, is there a preamp or separate ph... | |
| suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers Do nothing and keep what you have. If you're budget truly is tight, then spending $2k really is not a wise investment at this time. What you have works and works well so why change anything. True the Linn is being pushed to near its limits with th... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Rok2id, your understanding of the causes of US involvement in WW2 is grossly inadequate. | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control For someone who relatively new to the field you sound quite dogmatic. The subject of with/without preamp in digital systems is hotly debated. You should keep an open mind. | |
| Humor In Music Chuck Berry and The Coasters. Plus there's always Run C&W. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Actusreus, I was just listening to Colosseum two days ago. An excellent album from 44 years ago.I agree with you that there was more high quality music produced and recorded in the past than what's being made in the current year. 44 years from now... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Regardless of the motives or character of Snowden he has done the public a great service. In order for the nation to function as a democracy the citizenship must be informed of what the government and other power centers are doing.Traditionally la... |
