| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto When you discount the lyrics of Pete Sinfield, the world weeps.Welcome to mediocrity. To live, you must first, "snare truth in bone and globe". Ya get that? Nor do I; but don't the trees look nice and full. | |
| Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons? FrankC, Biamping will "relax" the load on your amps while reducing the stress on your speakers. This will provide sonic benefits that stretch across the entire realm of frequencies. There is vertical biamping; by driving one amp(mono) per speaker... | |
| Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons? You might want to try what I do and that is to use a solid state amp on your woofer section and a tube amp on your highs and mid. This way you'll get a powerful well controlled bottom end (depending on the amp), and a warm, dimensional "tube sound... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD I agree with Viridian. Because the direct to disc recordings are made in "realtime", some "clams" are heard also. That's the charm of some of these LPs. I don't listen much to Big Band, but the "King James Version" by the Harry James Band is astou... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now The Kendall-Jackson label has never failed me in its consistency. A "supermarket" wine to be sure, but still has enough oak, fruit and finish to satisfy. I also like Clos du Bois. | |
| Classic rock album covers You can't beat the Crimson King. A face some of us wear when we happen upon MTV. Another fav is "the Love Songs of A. Wilbur Meshel". A photo of a sad young man, eating a sandwich on a park bench, while a "Park Avenue" couple enjoys life in the ba... | |
| Good DVD Concert? James has an excellent farewell concert DVD. Picture quality is ok , but the sound and songs are great. The only band I can compare them to is Coldplay, but more upbeat. Available as an import only, the Canadian version is Region One. | |
| What do You listen to? Count me in as a lover of Goth. Hey Richingoth, the more I read your answers, the more I think we're joined at the head(s). Lets see; from N.J., living in South Brevard, 50 yrs. old and enjoy the darker side of music. I'll bet you even frequented ... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? I bought the Kinks "Kink-Size" waay back in early '65. Had to buy the mono version because I couldn't afford the extra dollar for a stereo copy. My pitiful, portable,picnic player would not have done justice to it anyway. Ah, the life of a unemplo... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Madonna. Horrible voice. Prince. Musical genuis? Bruce Springsteen. The boss of what? | |
| Todays Raido Stations suck Well said Zaikesman, 1965 AM radio (all we had) delivered the goods. Yes, we suffered with commercials and reverberated Disc Jockeys. We had to endure if we wanted to hear: the Byrdsthe Zombiesthe Kinksthe AnimalsThemthe Rolling StonesBob Dylanthe... | |
| Placement of Salons to maximize soundstaging When my Salons "disappear", its largely due to the recording. I have them 7ft into the room and 4ft from the side walls in a 20x30ft room. Like you, I listen in the nearfield, with the inside panels just visible from the "sweet spot". The soundsta... | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Wilson Witts. An impulse buy that I hope I'll never do again. Replaced my Straightwire Maestros with Purist Audio Colossus to take the edge off the ear slicing highs. The "one note bass" problem remained no matter where I positioned them (even aft... | |
| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? I've been in the restaurant business all my life. Family owned and operated. A mostly seafood cuisine establishment, with myself being "on the line" for thirty years. But while I enjoy compliments on the food; I get a bang when the customers make ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? rain water and pure grain alcohol. |
