| 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. | |
| Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! It would be great if they eventually produced a complete line of popular audio tubes. They seem to be intent on producing quality tubes, but I wouldn't plan on them being inexpensive. | |
| Esoteric k-01xd vs k-03xd I have not. There are some threads about the Esoteric XD series on the AudioShark Forums: Esoteric (audioshark.org) Here is a quote from a dealer posting there (Mike from Suncoast Audio): The historically speaking there wasn’t always a major ... | |
| T+A P3100HV pre amplifier review I wish I had your ears. The T+A gear is beautiful and sounds great. Those Germans know how to build electonics. | |

| Any tubes currently manufactured in the US, Japan or Germany? 100,000 people who died of drug addiction has nothing to do with a war on peace loving people. If that is how you justify things, good for you. I’m not justifying anything. I was just thinking that if we are going to judge people as insensitive... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health I’ll accept Mike Bloomfield"s opinion of Clapton: The Rolling Stone Interview: Mike Bloomfield - Rolling Stone You were telling me that Eric Clapton was a perfect guitarist. What makes you think that? His attack is flawless, that’s one of the th... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health People that knock Clapton for his studio albums are missing the point. His live playing is what made his reputation. Yeah there are lots of players who can play rings around him technically, but fill a stadium full of people bring out a bunch of b... | |
| Any tubes currently manufactured in the US, Japan or Germany? Thousands of people killed in Ukraine and more dying daily and the tube guys worry where their next tubes will come from. Really? 100,000 people died of drug overdoses in the US last year alone. Millions of people live lives of degradation due... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity In general, one good label to set your sights on for well- engineered blues recordings is the Audioquest label. Good call @starlightdiamond. I really enjoy Robert Lucas on Audioquest, "Luke and the Locomotives" and "Completely Blue". | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity I stopped wasting my time with Clapton back in 1973. Well, some pretty good guitarists didn’t, including Buddy Guy and B. B. King. What’s your problem with Clapton? Yes, that’s Bloomfield in the picture and here's what he thought about Clapton:... | |
| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes The Tube Museum is obviously a controversial tube vendor. Buyers can get the same tubes from other vendors without the risk, drama and stress. Why take the chance? | |
| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes I have bought tubes from The Tube Museum in the past. The guy who operates as The Tube Museum has advertised many very nice tubes and the ones I bought were as advertised. I was happy with my purchase. However, if there is any doubt in your mi... |
