| What's going on with the audio market? Russbutton: But if it weren't for those "anal-rententive people with too much money... [who] KNOW they are entitled..." you wouldn't benefit from the trickle down in the used market, would you?I've benefitted, as you have, from the used high-end m... | |
| We Get Requests info please sbank- i did not see this release listed in that discogs list, did you? | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Calvin- don't lose faith. You don't have to feel that way- this hobby can still be fun and lot's of good used gear, DIY, interesting stuff if you are willing to invest the time. The music- yeah, that's really the purpose, but we tend to rationaliz... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Pretty cogent overview there, E-Slacker. | |
| We Get Requests info please Found something that said it was done in 1995 but no real info behind that. I can send you a link to what I found, it may have been an advert for it. | |
| What's going on with the audio market? calvinj- I agree that younger listeners aren’t listening to the same "playlist" of geezer-pleasers, but they pick and choose- they may be doing metal (that seems to be the guy-rock of the 20 and 30 somethings) but every once in a while, a question... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? The hobby is fragmented into many different segments. If I can use a car analogy for a sec, there are the antiquarian types (think vintage Bugatti, pre-war, similar to the WE horn crowd); the high dollar bling- modern Ferrari, Lambo whatever (give... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? @dgarretson: Right you are. I made provision in my will for this-- the disposition of gear and record collection. My wife knows enough people to reach out to them if necessary, but it is an issue as we age. I don’t have kids, and have no misconcep... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I'm 61. I started buying serious gear pretty early, Audio Research electronics, SP-10 turntable, Quad 57s in around 1974 (I would have been 19). I'll continue to spend money on audio-related stuff 'til they take me to the nursing home or mortuar... | |
| Obscure bands Los Straightjackets = mucho awesome. :) Big fan. Those boys can play, too. | |
| Obscure bands Marti Jones "Used Guitars" had some great songs, unfortunately the LP was bright sounding. | |
| Do female audiophiles exist I think part of the problem is trying to determine this by whether someone posts on a chat board. Most of the folks here in my experience are pretty helpful, and if anything, anti-bragging/bling, but the one upsmanship of the high end is tiring to... | |
| Obscure bands Elvis Hitler. Their Disgraceland album contains a cover of Purple Haze called Green Haze. It is the Hendrix tune, but with the lyrics from the tv show, "Green Acres." "Farm livin,' it's the life for me...". It came out shortly after Paul Simon's ... | |
| Obscure bands Love Terry Reid, and actually have an old Shonen Knife record. The Terry stuff I still listen to- haven't pulled out that Knife record since what- the '80s? | |
| Obscure bands Love the self-titled May Blitz, second track, first side is guitars in the room. 2nd of May is far more restrained, more recherché as a UK Swirl. Patto- first album actually sounds good as a US swirl, second album doesn’t- you need the UK.Just got... |
