Thepower company is putting in a new transformer, the old one was outdated, underpowered, and too far away. The electrician came out also: they are going to put in a dedicated 120v, 20a... | |
| Electrical problem associated with all of my amps Thanks all! | |
| Electrical problem associated with all of my amps Duke: I have 200 amp service. | |
| Electrical problem associated with all of my amps Elizabeth: I doubt corrosion; most likely too small wire since this room was suppose to be just a storage area over the garage (20x30) or very shitty electrical service from the power company. So basically you are saying I am having a local brown ... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Interesting about Nirvana and Kurt. If you like rock, as something other than entertainment value, or some form of mind numbness ( T. Adorno, Aesthetics Theory), Nirvana, hadsome interesting things to say, with some blazing chordal progressions, w... | |
| Concert attendance You screwed up royally!! Gipie Mayo is a fine guitarist, who plays the Yardbird's songs with great elan. The band members Chris and Jim (who were very polite to the crowdafterwards) absolutely love playing with them. Alan Glenn the blues harpest w... | |
| Concert attendance Last night I went to the Yardbirds concert in Annapolis,MD.Excellent concert and fun for all who attended. The Yardbirds were truly a great club band. They played great tunes and they were enjoying themselves tremendously and were very gracious af... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. One point, I can only stress, is a concert is a visual as well as an aural event. We can perceive visual cues much more readily and acutely than aural cues. In a live concert event perhaps 90% of our acuity of senses is devoted to the visual. A cr... | |
| Brahms and Tchaikovsky For an offbeat rendition of Brahms 3rd and 4th Symphonies, which is actually quite good, is The Transylvania Philharmonic conducted by Erich Bengel. | |

| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening Rock died when Kurt Cobain died, he took the spirit of rock with him; JUST MY OPINION. News: There have been nine Symphony orchestras that closed their doors this season. The lastest is the South Florida Symphony. The Average age of someone who su... | |
| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening What all of you are saying is correct, but my point, and maybe I did not state properly, is other than dedicated music companies that produce living composers music, how canone hear and appreciate modern music, if the radio stations nor the sympho... | |
| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening I think it more insidious than just Borders and B&N. At least they have a classical music section, limited as it maybe; I did get my Naxos CDs of Schnittke and Part at Borders. But it started much earlier than that. It really began when Toscan... | |
