A system that is euphonic makes poor recordings sound better but does not make good recordings sound as good as they can. You may tire of the euphonic distortion (usually boosted second and third har... | |

| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? Nah. There are lots of great sounding speakers.. | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? I get that it is better, but it gives me no more joy than the first one. When you’re in your early twenties, it is much easier to enjoy just about everything. It being Friday was reason enough to have a party and throw caution to the wind. Ever... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Taxing the hell out of the top !% is not going to solve the US’s financial problems. The net worth of the top 1% according to the Federal Reserve is 42.5 trillion dollars as of June of last year. If the US confiscated the entire net worth of the t... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @bdp24 and @stuartk I enjoyed Chinaberry Sidewalks too. I'm hoping for a second volume that goes into his moving to Nashville, meeting Guy and Susanna Clark, working with Emmylou, marrying Rosanne and his work from The Houston Kid on. That's go... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. I favor older stuff, myself-- Jerry Jeff, EmmyLou, Rodney Crowell, Willie, etc. +1 stuartk, Rodney’s been doing his best work the last 20 years. My favorites are: The Houston Kid Fate’s Right Hand Close Ties Acoustic Classics Triage Willi... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? You may be interested to know that Tag McLaren tried to enter the audiophile market 20 - 25 years or so ago. I think they thought that if they can build formula 1 cars how hard could making audiophile gear be. Their audio gear never gained trac... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tylermunns You either don’t understand my question or don’t have an answer for it that you want to share. Either way, I think we’ve said all we need to say. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tylermunns You forgot to answer this part of my questions: Has your band ever been invited by one of the blues greats to open for him or has one of the blues greats ever opened for you? Does or did Buddy Guy, B.B. King or Muddy Waters enjoy ja... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! Guitar.com: Much more harmonic distortion is acceptable in guitar amp tubes than in hifi tubes – is this lower-fidelity sound reflected in the ease of the manufacturing process? Western Electric: “There is a need for better quality. This is yet a... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. I wish I had a dollar for every bar band or mom’s basement guitarist who thinks he can play better than Clapton. I would be a rich man. @tylermunns How much do you make a show and how far up the charts did your best album go? Has your band ever b... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tablejockey I know that Ralph wasn't playing the guitar. I was just referring to the character he played in the movie. Ralph did do a good job considering the short time he had to learn the air guitar parts for the movie. Your link to Arlen ... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. RC played the sweet Tele slide guitar for the soundtrack of the movie “Crossroads” in opposition to Stevie Vai’s demonic metal shredding in the final shoot-out between Ralph Macchio and Vai to reclaim the soul of his friend. You’re right that R... | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes Made in America tubes would be nice, but they won't be inexpensive. |
