| Great guitar 'breaks" (as opposed to solos). Charlie McCoy's guitar fills on Dylan's "Desolation Row". They make the song and Charlie is not primarily a guitarist. Genius on his and Dylan's part. | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** Don't get all defensive freediver. Different people have different opinions. If you haven't tried NOS how do you know how they sound? | |
| Rodney Crowell Yeah, that's her. The way I heard it, Johnny and her mom were in the audience when she said it. | |
| Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp eziggy, I had a pair of ML Summit Xs and drove them with a Pass XA30.8 (about 100 watts into 8 ohms). They sounded fine until I decided to try a more powerful amp and the extra power really brought the MLs to life. Much better in every way over th... | |
| Rodney Crowell I'm familiar with the Carlene and Howie tragedy. Carlene seems to have gotten herself back together and put out a couple of good albums, minus the blonde hair and short skirts though. | |
| Rodney Crowell Rodney's really doing great work now and seeing him with Steuart Smith would be a real treat. I'm not familiar with Jerry Scheff but he's got to be good to travel in that company.Let's hope Rodney finishes up with wife number three. He's mellowe... | |
| Rodney Crowell Sounds great. I’d like to hear him with a full band, well actually I’d be happy to see him any way. I saw his first wife not too long ago and she was really good. | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? Just for anyone who is interested, there is a difference between shields and plates. All Siemens 6922/E88CC have gray plates. They made a chrome plate 12AU7 and you can’t mistake these, but as far as I know they never made chrome plate 6922s. What... | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? The Siemens gray shield CCa tubes are considered by many to be one of the best 6922/E88CC ever made. That doesn’t mean that you’ll like the sound they make in your headphone amp or that you’ll hear how good they can sound in a top tier component.I... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? It sounds as if your amp does not engage you musically. That may be the fault of the amp or maybe you've just gotten overly familiar with it. Most people here buy their "final" amp or other piece of gear at least a few times. After a while that... | |
| Good Product or Nonsense? Back in the late 80’s a high end audio shop in Phoenix recommended Armorall on our CD’s. I have read that you shouldn’t use Armor All. That it has some longterm detrimental effect. I never tried it myself.I believe that the rationale for disc tre... | |
| Trove of Master Tapes from 1960's and 70's Glad to hear they're in good hands. The David Ball/ Uncle Walt's Band article was a good read too. Good music that never fit into a category. | |
