| Tidal Speakers owners Before anybody rushs out there to buy their Tidal speakers, there are two contenders that you should audition Artos Thunder and the Estelon EA. I have heard both in Europe at very high end salons. Artos had the ALEH amps; they blow away my beloved... | |
| anybody into 60s garage comps? Hey Albert, long time. Forget most of the nugget series, go directly to the pebbles stuff. However, having said that: two sites: Garage Hangover and obviously You Tube; for you tube type in garage bands of the 60s or garage punk of the 60s and you... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... For me, Beatles music has no meaning other than to sing along in the car because the radio played them so often. Though I always thought their covers were interesting. I guess it was in 1968? or 1969? that the story that Paul was dead circulated a... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? So Shadone, where is everybody going now for fun audiophile posts without it being boring trite and repetitive all the time? | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? Hey Rja,I will disagree with you about amps. Blind folded, I could tell the difference between the Spectral DMA180 with the DMC 30sl pre-amp and the Audio Research D115 with SP 8 pre-amp with the Avalon Radians 100% of the time with an audiophile ... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? Hey....work.....I am on the road 95% of the time now trying to sell Hi End analytical instrumentation to a shrinking Big Pharma market. And universities and colleges cannot even get an instrument grant from our wonderful government. So even if you... | |

| Shangri-Las BTW....Billy Joel, a very young Billy Joel, was playing piano for a few of the studio productions, Remember(Walking in the Sand) and Leader of the Pack. Apparently Betty Weiss used to flirt with Billy. He was a just a kid while Betty was just a st... | |
| Early Music-----Machaut "Le Remede de Fortune" Besides his Mass and his narrative poems set to music, his set of 20 or so motets are also in heavy rotation. Early music is much more prevalent in Europe than in the United States. Most recordings are done over there and it is sometimes tough to ... | |
| Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion? Boring Boring and more Boring. Not a thing that is original or even pretends to be original. Commercial dreck at its worst. Panders to the commonest of guitar drivel. Waste of a person's money and time. I thought maybe something that was not class... | |

Very interesting musicI think this want you meant by "modern" cl... | |
| what is good music? I find "good" is not the right word. By your definition something like Schnittke's 2nd violin sonata would be "bad" music, which this piece is anything but. It is highly dissonant, highly atonal ( though it is not readily serially atonal), there i... | |
| Why do you never near anything about Spectral When I speak of tubes I speak of transformer coupled tube amps, OTLs are much different beast. I have heard OTLs only twice, the most memorable one somewhere on US 206 or 209 in Northern Jersey an audio store had the NYAL OTL-1s with an NYAL pream... |
