| Songs With Best Ending "Grandpa's Hologram" by the Austin Lounge Lizards.If you can find it you'll hear what I mean.Also, "Cheese and Onions" by the Rutles has a great ending which is a parody on "A Day in the Life" | |
| Dynaudio Audience 8 I'm not absolutely certain but I think they were made in the early part of the previous decade--about ten years ago. I also believe they were the entry level line, not exactly hi-fi. The better small speakers of the time were the MkII monitors fol... | |
| Will sub help my Proac 1SCs fill new larger room? Since your spekaers are rated down to 30Hz, I wonder how much difference it would make. That is, you might not want to blend in the sub any higher than that, so there may not be noticeable improvement.That said, mine go to 40Hz (in a larger room t... | |
| The new Bob Dylan I think there's plenty of hope for music. I've lived most of my life in two towns with plenty of way-off mainstream, experimental artists and have played with a few myself.I just don't think there's hope for labeling a deserving artist as the "new... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? "Trident," McCoy Tyner with Ron Carter and Elvin Jones. | |
| Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music? Gear is just the means to the end (hearing music accurately reproduced).Not that the gear itself can't be fun, mind you. But it's not the main point, or at least should not be IMO. | |
| To splice or not to splice? Zd542, wouldn't it be the opposite? One of the original RCA's has the arrows pointing in, the other out. So I think one should be in the preamp, the other in the source component or in the power amp (if used as jumper). Right? | |
| To splice or not to splice? Thanks for the swift--and good responses.Kijanki, I actually was looking at the AQ jumpers for some time before this cable came into view. That's still an option.Zd, I have compared the KingCobra to the NAD metal jumpers and the difference is obvi... | |
| Proac Response 2 another +1 for the REL sub.I have Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII speakers which I love. They do a fabulous job down to 40Hz. I never dreamed what I was missing till I added a REL sub. The sound is now much more complete. When I listen to the sub alone ... | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers "Not to minimize what these people do, but they just don't have to play with as much continual creativity or energy as the others."Well, in the pop rock/folk/country realm, neither do the guitarists nor other instrumentalists play with the creativ... | |
| The new Bob Dylan Haven't checked him out yet but I have to laugh because I remember the early 70's when there was a "new Bob Dylan" every time you turned around. Bruce Springsteen, Elliot Murphy, god-knows-who-else.As you can see by the names, some survive on thei... | |
| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost The world is full of noise. I go to a chamber music concert and have to focus my attention beyond all sorts of noise emanating from the audience. I'm learning to live with it.Not that I like it, mind you. | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers Some interesting responses--many because of their obscurity and several (Joe Morelo, Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker) who are among the most appreciated and celebrated ever.I would add Trilok Gurtu, known in guitar circles for playing with John McLaughl... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I think most (if not all of us) realize there is no "best."I get something out of most of these posts. There's a lot of equipment out there and no one gets to experience every brand and model. It can be useful to read others' opinions--it's why we... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Listen to Linda Ronstadt sing "Long Long Time" or "I Fall to Pieces" and see if you are not mesmerized. |
