| Good but not so well known harmonica blues bands. William Clarke, who passed away in 1996, was a fierce harmonica player who won several W.C. Handy Awards. I highly recommend his albums "Serious Intentions", and "Blowin' Like Hell" | |
| Lovan: Stereophile recommended disappointment. Wow - a lot of vitriol with respect to Lovan racks. I admit, they are not the greatest, but at least the Sovereign model can be improved if you take certain steps. First, replace the shelves with something custom made - the MDF shelves are garbage... | |
| Altis Centauri Transport? I owned the Altis Centauri transport for about two years, pairing it with several DACs. It was an excellent transport, which I regret selling. Not as musical as a TL-1x, for example, but better resolution and tighter bass.If you cannot swing a Pit... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Single Malt - The Balvernie 1966 Vintage CaskBeer - Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, or if I'm slumming, Old Rasputin Imperial StoutWine - Mouton Rothschild 1982 | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Dweller, I double checked it yesterday, and you can tell your friend he's definitely wrong. It kind of threw me that his proposed lyric had "she" in it, because "she" doesn't appear in the last minute or so of the song. The "she" is, in fact, "see... | |
| Lost in the Powercord Jungle Bigkidz makes a good suggestion - go for a dedicated line (or two) first. After that, absolutely demo any power cables in your system before you buy. Some good choices are listed above - I would point out that Electraglide and Shunyata have also g... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Dweller - where in Gallows Pole are you referring to? I'm guessing the last verse, the closest line of which is "She warmed my blood from cold". Unfortunately, I don't think there is a definitive version of the lyrics (Plant sang it differently on... | |
| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. Hey Eddaytona,Here are the real lyrics of Louie Louie, as written and copyrighted by Richard Berry (Limax Music), and performed by the Kingsmen (note: this is NOT the Iggy Pop version):Louie Louie, me gotta go. Louie Louie, me gotta go. A fine lit... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Good post, Bomarc - I agree with 98% of what you had to say. I guess the one thing I'm not sure about is the point you are making with respect to multiple inconclusive tests lending to a strong inference that a difference is inaudible. If you have... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? I think Hearhere summed up the issue well in his last post, but I would come at it from a slightly different angle. Simply put, DBT is not, in and of itself, "controversial." However, there is a great deal of misunderstanding/ disagreement regardi... | |
| Got it pared down now - Revel, Dunlavy or Genesis? Hi Jeff,I've owned both the Dunlavy SC-IV's (which I liked even better than the SC-V's) and the Genesis V's, and heard the Revels on quite a few occasions (and also listen to a ton of classic rock and blues). I was also using a BAT VK-5i as a prea... | |
| Hendrix blues To follow up on Mwilsons post, Jimi Hendrix: Blues is being released December 6 by Classic Records (so I would call it an audiophile pressing). Here's a link:http://www.classicrecs.com/frames/newreleases_frameset.htm | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Hey Tennispro,Here are some things that have given me the best performance:Symposium shelves (particularly the Ultra shelf - wow!)Silent Running Audio platformsNewport Research Lab TablesAurios Pro MIBsSymposium RollerblocksBlack Diamond Racing Co... | |
| What is the range of human hearing? Actually, Zaikesman, I think you are conveniently misreading my post. First, the research I am disussing still points to the the ear mechanism (not "extra-ordinary compensation" as you claim) as being what perceives the ultrasonic frequency conten... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IVa how best driven You do not need a lot of power with the Dunlavy's - the Classic 150's are more than adequate. The SC-IVA's have a relatively high sensitivity (~91db) and a relatively stable impedance. Thus, they are conducive to the use of tubes. Indeed, after he... |
