| Derek and the Dominos 50th Some background about how the recording came about. And another article about the studio and the recording process. | |
| Low power amps and speaker damage? As I understand it tweeter have less power handling capacity than mids or woofers. If an amplifier clips it can produce a square wave type signal with a large amount of higher harmonic content that would normally never be present in music. The k... | |
| Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers Get an SPL meter (or app) and measure how loud you are listening when the distortion start. The phrase bass punch is vague, can you give us a musical example and say which instrument(s) you would like effected? | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. Correction -- meant Roger Hawkins on "Lady Soul". | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. The before and after album impact is an interesting idea, but I would then argue that MFBP wasn't even the most impactful album released in 1968. Aretha Franklin's "Lady Soul" takes that prize. People have been trying to sing like Aretha for the... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. The Brown Album was the record where Robbie Robertson took control of the group. You can hear it.Stephen Stills was an army brat who grew up in a number of places, but primarily the Florida panhandle. Confederate trappings were common place in t... | |
| Is your heart filled with a love of music, or something else? I have always loved music, whether live or recorded. It's a marvelous creation by the human species. But music ain't everything. We all live on a single large rock with limited resources and the competition for those resources can get very, ver... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio 14 hours does seem like a lot, but you got them down on their rate. Hopefully their work is first rate and you never have to worry about amp repairs again. BTW, what prompted you to seek service? | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. MFBP is obviously a great and influential recording, but in my mind it will always be a Bob Dylan/The Band album, whereas, the self titled The Band album is truly The Band. Taste is personal, but I much prefer the brown album. "King Harvest", "W... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? To the OP, mild curiosity has now reached the point where you NEED four subs and people just don't understand why you're hesitating. If you want more bass, then EQs can do the job. If you want deeper bass, then a subwoofer is your tool. Keep i... | |
| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? Place the loudspeakers side by side is a very bad idea. If you must go this route I suggest you try placing the loudspeakers front to back. One loudspeaker pointed towards the listening area and the other pointing in the opposite direction. Som... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? You don't need a sub. If you're satisfied with your system's sound without one, then you've already answered your question. Now, adding a sub(s) can have a very positive effect on your system, but I would classify that as a want, not a need. Fo... | |
| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? I'd appreciate you telling us what loudspeakers you are talking about. | |
| Lack of Female Representation So is there now a lack of non-binary representation? | |
| Make way for the future.... It probably will sound real good after you add an after market power cable, isolation platform, upgraded loudspeaker terminals, boutique capacitors and a redesigned power supply. Without these tweaks and mods it probably only sounds good. Cambri... |
