| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread " Maybe take a journey to the center of your mind." bigtwin- +1 Amboy Dukes LP's fortunately are always in the 3/$10 bin, but I haven't found an unmolested copy yet. I have the debut and "Call of the Wild". | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread "For me Eddie was best rock guitarist long before Ted said so…" johhnycamp5- I knew from the first time I heard VH's cover of "You Really Got Me" in 1978 that EVH was different and, unique. After seeing VH, it was confirmed. Ted is so polarizing... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread The title implies one of those silly, chest pounding, insert the name threads, BUT is clarified with Theodore talking about Eddie. Since Whitefish1175 decided to jack the thread with something completely UNRELATED, I'll pile on to it. Along with... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread "Blues Breakers/Cream era Clapton" edcyn- can't remember exact articles, but I've read many over the years of 70's era players citing the "Beano" BB album as their inspiration. You probably know those Clapton BB runs were essentially juiced ... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread What EVH represents is the R&R guitarist who came out of the dying Classic Rock period(which doesn't go beyond mid 70's or so, IMO) and introducing things truly revolutionary that just about ALL Rock guitarist moving forward, acknowledge. I... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread Sigh...oh dear My post misunderstood. My fault since I always think most will " get it" I believe a typical 20 something would see Mr Nugent as musically irrelevant. That all that was meant. Good grief! For those who aren't guitar players/admi... | |
| UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread stereo5- I imagine if one’s beliefs followed a certain orange haired,red capped genuis, he might be? I just admired his playing and knowledge/experience as a R&R geetar player in the 70’s. He is the real deal as far as R&R musicianship. ... | |
| Finally found my amp/integrated for Martin Logan Summit X electrostatics If I ever see a pair of Summit X's for a good price, I'm gonna grab them. Really want some Soundlabs, but impossible to find a pair at a price I want to pay. Currently using Theos with great results. Mine are tube powered. | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? "you could have bought a fully spec'd Aries 3." As if one is one the shelf waiting to be purchased. Useless post. ozzy62-a couple of mods will still keep you ahead of buy something new at the same expense as far as performance. That of course, ... | |
| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice If PL is really in your final choices and you want to get the most for your money, consider the following. I've heard the combination many times-very nice. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisagjc8-primaluna-dialogue-premium-hp-stereo-integra... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? "Is there a drop in platter upgrade for the Aries II?" ozzy62-if you do the Classic platter, It may be a R/R.It comes with bearing assembly. Email to VPI to confirm. https://upscaleaudio.com/products/vpi-classic-platter-and-bearing | |
| OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here?? TMR listed pricing is irrelevant is you really want something they have. Any smart shopper negotiates the price they want to pay. That's my experience with them. | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? ozzy62- If your table doesn't come with a Soundsmith Counterintuitive, it makes adjusting the counterweight easier for tracking/azimuth adjustment. Not a must have, but eliminates a lot of setup grief. A fresh belt is another inexpensive thing ... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? ADS initial adjustment seems archaic(strobe) compared to a simple sensor/magnet underneath the platter communicating to the controller in real time. Disappointing VPI didn’t jump on it years ago. Strobe light necessary for initial ADS setup. Stro... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? Enjoy it. If you get the itch, there's always the Sota/Phoenix speed control upgrade, 3d arm and mentioned Classic platter to add. I think you can just get the controller/tach since you have a current motor. Antiskate is a never ending argument.... |
