| Any Bob fans out there? I love it, too. I've been raving about this album for weeks to friends who have pretty much given up on Bob since he broke up Sugar. I think this album is equal to anything Sugar produced, which is saying something, and nearly on par with the best... | |
| Electraglide Epiphany vs Kubala-Ssna vs.... Any updates on this shootout? What's the word, guys? | |
| Preamp w/ big sound AND extended frequencies ? I have had both the First Sound and the Supratek, and ended up keeping the Supratek. The First Sound IS a very dynamic, "big" sounding preamp with the blackest background I have ever heard with any tube equipment. It is a great choice. I went with... | |
| What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix? James "Blood" Ulmer | |
| Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables? I got a pair today, and even after a few hours, I am very pleased with what I am hearing. They must be "pre-cooked" or not require much break-in, because they are already incredibly good out of the box. I need a few more days with them to give a f... | |
| Any New Music capture your fancy ? I think a lot of 'Goners might enjoy the Greencards, a band that is reminiscent of Nickel Creek or even Alison Krauss and Union Station. I believe the record is named Weather and Water: content good, sonics good, playing superb...in short, a very ... | |
| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? Oh yeah, can't bear leaving off Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road." | |
| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? Just a few off the top of my head:The Beatles, "Rubber Soul"Van Morrison, "Astral Weeks"Gram Parsons, "Grievous Angel"Joni Mitchell, "Blue"John Coltrane, "Love Supreme"X, "Wild Gift"The Band, "Music From the Big Pink"Big Star, "Radio City"Miles Da... | |
| Supratek Tubes and Tube Swappin' for Everybody Perhaps Wc65mustang can take the money he is saving on tubes and enroll in charm school. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I think there are at least a few of us fortunate enough to have had both the First Sound and Supratek preamps in our systems at various times, and in all fairness I should preface my remarks by saying it seems to be a split decision on which is "b... | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Ornette Coleman generally clears the room. Captain Beefheart clears the whole house, and the property. I love 'em both. | |
| Bottle Rockets- Great unknown Band- Still Exist??? Ozzy,I believe the band is "down" to three members, with Henneman and drummer Mark Ortmann remaining from the cast that brought us "24 Hours a Day." Although departed guitarist Tom Parr wrote a handful of good songs, it is Henneman who was and sti... | |
| Bottle Rockets- Great unknown Band- Still Exist??? The band has gone through some personnel changes in recent years, but main man Brian Henneman is still on board writing great songs. Try out the "Brooklyn Side" and "24 Hours a Day" CDs for starters. Great band, great albums. | |
| Tenor or Lamm hybrids for alternative rock ? Agree with Streetdaddy. I have and love the P10s, and also share your taste in music. You'd be hard-pressed to beat them at $3.5K. | |
| Your favorite but unknown Freedy Johnston, "Can You Fly"Just a criminally overlooked record from the early 90s. The songwriting is just unbelievable. |
