| Who is your favorite blues guitarist Davy Knowles of Back Door Slam is my new, non-dinosaur favorite. This kid burns, and has a decent voice as well. http://www.myspace.com/backdoorslamTheir CD is good, but in no way displays the mighty prowess of this up and coming performer. | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Scott_wojo - Only SS I've heard them on was BYOB http://www.mother-of-tone.com/byob.htm and for rock they did really well. It was only on some acoustic (piano, guitar, voice) that they sounded "cupped" to me (i.e., cupping your hands around your m... | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist Hey Jaybo - Michael is one of my all-time favs. "Live at Bill Graham's Fillmore West" has some great tunes, and Bloomfield really shines on it. But also, if you are unaware, you need to pick up this release by Nick Gravenites, "My Labors". Not so ... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Scott_wojo - Heard the Hornshoppe Horns in a medium/large room (17'x24'?) the other night driven by a Cayin A-88T (integrated). The sound of these IS addicting. I am still not convinced of their use for jazz, but can say with utmost confidence tha... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Scott_wojo - Sure will. Ann Arbor? The last time I was in Ann Arbor I was standing inside the stadium feeling mighty queezy as Colorado just scored the winning touchdown in the final seconds in what, for me, was UM's most shocking and sickening lo... | |
| Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system How about $100 for a pair of excellent speakers? Is that cheap enough for ya? They are DIY, but appear to be very simple - The Zimahornets - check out this great review:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/zigmahornet/zigmahornet.htmlDave Merrill sa... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Shadorne - I can understand your skepticism. I too was an unbeliever about these small drivers/boxes. Granted, I have only heard them in a small room driven by a 10wpc chip amp (BYOB), but even there they astounded and confounded me. Their ability... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Shadorne - curious, why not Horn Shoppes? | |
| Speakers with high WAF? For furniture grade, drop dead gorgeous cabinets AND great audio reproduction, check out Jim Salk's work at http://www.salksound.com - no prettier cabinet work anywhere else. My wife approved mine prior to buying - different than Jim's, but still ... | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Believe me now and hear me later, check out a pair of Hornshoppe Horns. I spent several hours with a pair the other day, driven by a BYOB (10 wpc) amp (with car battery). For me, the jury is still out on jazz and classical, but rock ... MAN THESE ... | |
| Anyone else like Nick Drake ? And just so you don't get confused, Bonnie "Prince" Billy IS Will Oldham. | |
| Anyone else like Nick Drake ? K,Love the Drake. Best comparo I can think of might be Iron & Wine, "The Creek Drank the Cradle" and "Our Endless Numbered Days". And maybe Bonnie "Prince" Billy, "Master and Everyone". All great stuff. | |
| 'best' surge protection? Jlamb - Yes, BrickWall is a ZeroSurge reseller. Call ZeroSurge on the phone and speak with them - very helpful folks. Sorry, don't know about SurgeX. | |
| 'best' surge protection? Brick Wall is a reseller of the ZeroSurge product. It is the same technology, just differently packaged. I use these and purchase directly from whomever is cheaper at the moment (factoring in shipping cost). The literature makes sense to me and th... | |
| Speaker Recomendations $3000 If you prefer a warm easy sound with air & good detail then definitely hold out for a used pair of EgglestonWorks Fontains. After many other auditions this is the one IMO which best produces detail AND warmth. I listen to some of the same kind... |
