| Greatest Rock Drummers Of course Neil Peart. And Phil Collins, Steve Gadd, Hal Blaine, Taylor Hawkins, Dave Grohl, Mitch Mitchell, Jack DeJohnette, Max Roach, Art Blakey.Not Ginger Baker (I have all Cream's albums and Blind Faith). I just think he's sort of a plodding ... | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions When I was a postdoc at U. Oregon I was introduced to atomic force microscopy, a technology that uses a stylus in the sub-micron tip size range to physically scan and touch-tap to map and image the topography of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins ... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers You guys crack me up with these "best in class" threads. Without the variety and talents of so many, many, great drummers, we wouldn’t even be having such a discussion.To me, if the drumming serves the song as well as the rest of the band, it is "... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! If you have $30,000 speakers, it is incumbent upon you to do the diligence required to match upstream components BEFORE putting them in system.And why are you using PrimaLuna components with $30,000 speakers may I ask? That does not seem like a we... | |
| Thiel Owners Let’s face it, Thiel is gone. I am fortunate to own and enjoy CS6 and CS2.4 models and I will treasure these fine instruments for a very long time. What irritates me is that the company couldn’t, or wouldn’t, even continue manufacturing the line a... | |
| Music Hall MMF 5 Arm Change? And..why the desire to swap the Music Hall arm out in the first place? This is not a table specifically designed to have "the arm of your choice installed."Best to sell your MMF5 and buy a stock P3; these arms and tables were designed and manufact... | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? Dare I reignite a 13 year old dead thread?Have since added 2.4s to my systems, still have the 6s and I like 2.4s, though not as much as the 6s. | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? But "good stuff" is getting harder to find and I often find it in unexpected places. Plus I have been reaching out beyond my sphere and even back to the early/mid 70s and checking out artists I was aware of but never had any of their recordings, l... | |
| Is this for real? The person who can afford these and buys them might be very bored with so much dispensable resources at his/her disposal. I would ask if that person is able to even focus on anything for more than a half a millisecond. | |
| Current speaker threads are boring It's such a personal questions, and there are likely as many answers as there are participants. For me a great speaker, regardless of price, simply gets out of the way so quickly that I lose my attention of them and am instead drawn to the music a... | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? If in mono separation was poor, the problem lies upstream of the amps. | |
| Directionality of wire Umm, that was Erwin Schrodinger (1935) | |
| Best Drum Solos What, no mention of Buddy Rich? | |
| engineering mistakes on recordings +2 for Steely Dan. Except for The Royal Scam (IMO), all their recording and production values were first rate across their catalog. And, TRS is still one of the better produced pop albums compared to most. | |
| Class D = Trash? I just read this thread from the top and, as one who has only briefly heard a couple of Class D amps in hifi shops, one a Rotel, the other a Bel Canto, the sound wasn't anything remarkable or outstanding.But the comment I want to make here is that... |
