| 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... | |
| Determining reflection points I don't really have any corners to speak of, and since my room is large enough I've been told off-line by a knowledgable person that I don't have typical small-room bass issues, but I do have an 8' free standing wall about 3' behind my head I thin... | |
| Freak Me Out Check out Material's "Hallucination Engine" CD - I'd describe it as Mid-Eastern Ambient Space Funk. Some of the players: Bill Laswell (producer as well), Boosty Collins, Sly Dunbar, Wayne Shorter, Bernie Worrell. Excellent freak out stuff. | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase No, but I do an excessive amount of preparation for how and what I will tell her. Get all of the possible retorts covered and reasons/methods to overcome them - sort of like computer software game theory. I am not opposed to attempts of guilting h... | |
| Determining reflection points Thank you Mrjstark. That makes it easier.And thank you Duke. That may make it even easier. As always Duke, you rock! | |
| Black Gospel With Good Sound I know you asked for well recorded, but James Cleveland's "Hallelujah: A Collection of His Finest Recordings" is too good to ignore. The sound may not be crystal clear, but the message of the Holy Spirit easily shines through to enormous satisfact... | |
| Black Gospel With Good Sound Take 6 (1988) - Warning: All acapella, but fabulous none the less. | |
| worst 'long-lived' band I second Jimmy Buffet. At least most of the bands previously mentioned were, at one time, good. But Buffet? Crappy from day one and STILL crappy. I think that puts them at number one worst. | |
| Do tubes "burn in"? My concern was not that after burn in the tubes would sound the same. I was just seeing if I liked the 12SX7's at all. They sounded different than the 12SN7's, as expected, but I did not expect them to have such poor clarity, especially noticable ... | |
| Phillip Glass Fans Thanks Elizabeth for the Aguas da Amazonia recommendation. I just picked it up and it is wonderful! | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter $530 used!? Yikes is right. I'd better run over to my volume knob and scale it back some right now. But I swear, they're worth it. |
