| Badfinger Try out Magic Christian Music. Carry On Till Tomorrow, Walk Out In the Rain, Angelique, Knocking Down Our Home, Dear Angie, etc, etc,.... just about every song is awesome. I first heard this album as a soundtrack to the film, The Magic Christian, ... | |
| Music everywhere, too much? I often find the incessant music soundtracks in film to be really irratating. Where's the silence? Silence can be as emotive or even more emotive than many of these lame soundtracks. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. From Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who. | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the 60's, we listened to a station out of Windsor, Ontario, CKLW AM. It was either garage rock or soul for us. Bubble Puppy-Hot Smoke and Sasafras, Blues Magoos-Pipe Dream, There's a Chance We Can Make It, then... | |
| Ann Arbor Hi Greg, I would still be interested in a new club. Your home appears to be a good place for a first meeting. I also have some equipment I could bring along. I have 2 systems, one is SET and some may like to hear this setup or parts of it. Thanks,... | |
| Best red book/SACD player under 1K stock or mod ? Marantz sa8260, very musical, might find one used for around $800 | |
| Hours sitting around just listening to music? I try to spend at least one evening each weekend listening to music in the sweet spot in my dedicated listening room. My listening sessions generally go from 8 or 9pm until 3 to 5 am. Even with that I never have the time to play all the music I ha... | |
| Ann Arbor I'm in Whitmore Lake and would be interested in an audio club although I'm not sure I could help in setting it up due to time constraints. | |
| vocal distortion on Jayhawk's Rainy Day Music The distortion is on just about every song. The reason for distrusting American Recordings also goes to a previous release by the Red Devils, it was a live recording (I don't recall the title) it was also distorted in the vocals and I returned tha... | |
| Alon II Mark I Speaker Setup Please help I've had my Alon II Mk. I's for aprox. 8 years. My listening room is aprox. 13' x 30'. In experimenting with placement I've found placing them on the long wall aprox. 6' apart, 40" from the front wall and at least 36' from side walls with no toe i... | |
| What about Bybee Filters? I have been experimenting with the bybee filters for the past 3 weeks and my experience has been quite unsettling. I had my perpetual tech. p3a and monolithic sound modified by Modwright 3 weeks ago. I had the level II upgrade and power supply upg... | |
| Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull I for one will be somewhat sad to see J10 leave, while his reviews tended to be elitist (in equipment and tone) at least there was an interesting persona revealed. These are the sorts of characters that leave only to be replaced by milktoast, how ... | |
| better gear, worse recordings I must admit that I am somewhat of a contrarian on this issue. In my experience I have concluded that most recordings I percieved as poorly recorded on lesser equipment are now at least more interesting (musical may be another matter altogether) b... | |
| Kimber cable - good or bad? Bi-focal xl's are sounding great between my cj mv-55 and Alon II's. I too had seen reviews saying they were a bright sounding cable. I believe this coloration may be system dependent and/or due to lack of break in. Up to 150 hours I thought cables... | |
| Alon 2's-can they be driven w/ 50w int amp?? I am using cj mv-55 on my Alon II's (45WPC) and percieve no problems. Bass may not be as tight and controlled as with greater ss power but the Alon's are rich with tube, however I previously used a NEW DCA60 class a ss, aprox. 120WPC at 4 ohms) wi... |
