| Mary Martin Died The way I heard it Rick Danko sent a tape of his band to Mary Martin. She thought they would be good for Bob Dylan and passed the tape along to him. Dylan didn't go for them, but Martin persisted. She ultimately set up a face to face with Dylan... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? The idea that music can really only be created by humans is very limiting. Some of the most musical sounds I've ever heard were not created by humans. A few examples: water falls a thunder storm, especially with lightning bird songs rain fal... | |
| Mary Martin Died Mary Martin convinced fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen to not go to Nashville and instead stay in NYC. She then introduced his songs to Judy Collins who then recorded several and Cohen then went on to sign with John Hammond at Columbia records. Muc... | |
| Mary Martin Died Is it that hard to imagine there's was more than one person with the name Mary Martin? I'm referencing the one who convinced Bob Dylan to take on Ronnie Hawkin's backup band as his own. | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. Unless you were in the mastering room where the sonics are finalized, you have no real idea what a specific recording is supposed to sound like. This applies to acoustic and non-acoustic recordings. Live, unamplified music is an imperfect refere... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? The overwhelming majority of music is not the work genius. It's work and involves craftsmanship, but it usually involves working within forms that is fairly well defined and providing small variations to those forms. For most listeners likable m... | |
| Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own. Mr. Costello is one of my all time favorite artist. Great songwriter and performer. The Attraction or the Imposters are a great band for his music. And as Mr. Costello said in is R&R HOF induction speech, Pete Thomas is one of the greatest ... | |
| Something new. @atmasphere does that apply to unipivot arms? | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? Good quality music reproduction can be had a little over $1k. If you want great sound you have to pay a lot, lot more. | |
| Vibration Control The sound coming out of your loudspeaker is probably the largest source of vibration in your listening room. So why have all those sensitive electronics in the same room as the vibration source? And I know that there are some exceptions, but nea... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? What Bdp24 said and that traditionally most recording engineers put a mic on pop/rock bass drums and don't individually mic a jazz bass drum. | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? Why are you attributing so much of the sound quality to the amplifier? From your description I would think it has more to do with the loudspeakers, their setup and room acoustics. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? A good composition well performed is far more important than the recording quality, IMO. This thread gives me some insight as to why some people are always "upgrading" and why they have such strong sonic preferences. I wish them luck. | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? What are you trying to achieve with any proposed "upgrade"? The Rega setup you have is very balanced and a good performer. To do significantly better would require a substantial investment. But that would then trigger a new preamp and probably ... | |
| Quandary @rvpiano the dealer thinks you're a total idiot. You can either prove him wrong or confirm his opinion. You don't have a quandary! A quandary implies a difficult decision and this is not. |
