| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tablejockey We’re not exactly treading on consistent-audiophilia-related ground when we’re talking about watches and God, are we? I didn’t know being a decent human was “woke.” This forum seems to fetishize a well-known, well-documented, vile r... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tablejockey You could have Clapton’s playing ability if you just bought a guitar and practiced with marginal diligence. I would guess the average person hits Clapton-level ability after about a year from starting from scratch. There’s nothing s... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. This is the third Clapton-related thread in a couple weeks. Sheesh. You guys are aware he is a culturally-appropriating, virulent racist, right? | |
| Best double live vinyl? I’ll second @xcool with “Live Rust” - Neil & Crazy Horse These may require 2 purchases to combine vol. 1 & 2 with some releases, but they are essentially live-double albums: “In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk” - Miles... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? A word like “Remastered” accompanying a release justifies that release. People buy. Labels keep releasing remastered stuff. Sometimes this practice yields fortuitous results. Often it does not. ideally, communities like like one can help musi... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system I’m really glad someone asked about the term, “musical.” The word, in this application, seems almost comical, to say nothing of it being extremely vague. | |
| What's Your Favorite Vinyl That Never Made It To CD or Digital? Another good album that got one issue (1969 US & Canada) that, interestingly enough also features a version of Mickey’s “Sweet Memories” is “Good Times” by Willie Nelson. One of the more…um…interesting…choices for album art you’ll see. | |
| What's Your Favorite Vinyl That Never Made It To CD or Digital? “Newbury Sings His Own” - Mickey Newbury It’s not on CD, iTunes or Spotify, and only the awesome highlight “Weeping Annaleah” from this LP is on YouTube, nothing else. The best version of “Sweet Memories” is here (my goodness what extraordinary s... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Thank you, jssmith. My sentiments exactly, particularly regarding the massive disparity between Clapton’s ability and those of Jimi, Chet Atkins, Eddie, Yngwie, Morello, and plenty of others. Say what you want about Yngwie’s “music”😂 but to put C... | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? I think dialing in speaker positioning, researching what reasonable room treatments (aesthetics and space constraints should be observed if such things are important - if not, go nuts!) are viable, and try applying these practices to your listenin... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Really glad builder3 gave some love to Amy’s version of “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” With so many great versions of the Goffin/King classic, that version stunned me and caused me to consider it equal (or superior) to the Shirelles’ original, or M... | |
| Looking for Blues with High Fidelity I would suggest eschewing any expectation of elite engineering with this type of music. Late-1920s-through-mid-1960s recordings of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Blind Willie McTell, Charley Patton, Huddie Ledbetter, Blind Willie Johnson, Miss... |
