| My battle with sibilance. Vocal sibilance can vary on pressing.I hear differences on a period press vs greatest hits vs 2nd press vs later reissues.Example- Donovan's 1968 Hurdy Gurdy Man-title track perfect on my stereo and mono press. NOT implying a new reissue is infe... | |
| Martin Logan panel disassembly? Thanks, no luck on the ML forum.I'm aware of keeping the panel clean, and have been doing so. This is just for the woofer area. The grill assembly/stat is 1 panel, so it has to be removed for proper cleaning. No vacuum/brush will get in there with... | |

| Why the cost increase? Takeaway-Make sure your system is optimized and stay healthy. That's all anyone can do. Maybe stockpile your favorite snacks/booze for the next round of crazy possibly around the corner. | |
| ZZ Top-Dusty Hill RIP "The Who know substituting for Entwistle is possible, but replacing him is not. Frank and Billy know the same about Dusty."ZZ Top the band, can go on with a "guest" bass player, but the ZZ Top image is now done. It's those 2 beards and sunglasses ... | |
| Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo "The Good Life was taken from the same sessions as The Trio"The LP jacket says it was recorded at the London House hotel in Chicago-May 1973. I'm guessing it's a "supper club" setting? You can hear the waiters running around, glasses/plates being ... |
