| Hot Rats I was lucky enough to see Frank twice a year during my formative years. Started late with the Bongo Fury tour. Saw him at the Park West in Chicago. Holy Smokes, was that fun. Love the Hot Rats, Waka Jawaka, Grand Wazoo era. Amazing compositio... | |
| John Hurlbut & Jorma Kaukonen - "The River Flows" I think I picked these up on Record Store Day releases. Or maybe order them from Fur Peace Ranch. Either way, I love the interplay between the two of them, You can tell they have played with each other often. I've always loved the lack of ego ... | |
| The Music at AXPONA 2022 @twoleftears Loved the harp music. I bought her record. She was lovely musically, and in person! Anybody check out Jim Anderson’s talk about engineering Patricia Barber recordings? That was great sounding music, and interesting. I found man... | |
| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums I would think that if you are spending big money on a high end speaker that they (or at least should) already come designed and built with isolation in mind. I've gotta believe that my S/F Liliums come engineered to eliminate resonance and all th... | |
| How many systems do you have? Two: One in family room which blends into the kitchen (main listening area), and another in my office. Won't count Alexa in the bathroom... 😆 | |
| Your method for discovering great music. I use Roon often for this. I'll pick a song at the end of an album from an artist and the genre I am interested in. I make sure that I have Roon Radio checked as Yes. Then Roon just chooses music of the same genre & style, within reason. T... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” Really depends on the venue. Some music venues have outstanding sound, others not so much. Also depends on where your seats are. I've been in the 3rd row and the sound is so-so. Next night a few rows back and the stereo and definition of the in... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ My problem with Bruce & E Street Band is their sound is just so big and blasting. It is hard to hear any separate instruments. Just bombastic. I can name countless large bands where you can pick out each instrument and follow it over the co... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Don't know what your budget is, but I love my Bergmann turntable and its linear tracking tonearm. Makes beautiful sound and reduces issues with anti-skating, and other cartridge set up issues. Contrary to what has be said earlier, I watched seve... | |
| Bought a new McIntosh amp Buyers Remorse, when you haven't listened or broken it into your system? Does not compute for me. | |
| Grateful Dead- Sotheby's Auction No doubt this band was cutting edge for its time, regarding the sound their live shows produced, and the recording from them. | |
| Bergmann Galder Turntable As a follow-up, I finally demo’d the Bergmann Galder. First off, I'm lucky to be in ATL with all the purveyors of audio equipment in and around town.Listened to (demo'd) the Linn LP12, Brinkman Taurus, Transrotor Rondino, Oracle Delphi MkVI, McIn... | |
| Widex Hearing Aids @hifijunkyPlease IM me. | |
| New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge @kingharodLost my wife three years ago Nov 1st, 4:32pm. Among other things, I too used these last three years to expand my audio enjoyment. It is amazing what saving $50K in health care costs can do for someone. Coincidently, I am also in the m... | |
| Record Cleaning Machines I haven’t owned or operated a Kirmuss personally so I want to be a bit moderated in my comments. But seems that a RCM overheating is just not right. Seems like a design flaw to me. I had an Okie Nokki but it was just too loud and the record fli... |
