| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? I have been following this thread with interest- since a Steelhead was mentioned earlier, and I just switched from that to the Allnic h3000. It is far too early in the process to make any concrete judgments, but the Allnic seems to sound far less ... | |
| Can Tube Amps be Used for Home Theater? I was trying to read through your system list and figure out what you are using as a preamp for music, is it the ARCAM processor? I'm not in any way dissing ARCAM, or theatre processors in general (well, maybe a little bit on the latter), but if y... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? I never changed from vinyl- i started in the mid-60's with a ratty all in one stereo as a kid, when vinyl was the only viable mainstream format for prerecorded music, and as time passed, and my hi-fi taste and budget improved, i simply continued o... | |
| Can Tube Amps be Used for Home Theater? At one point, I was using all ARC tube amps for my home theatre. (I didn't leave them on all the time, of course). The system consisted of a very old Dual 75a that I have owned since the early 70's, a Classic 60 that was relatively new, and a larg... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie There is also a rendition of First Time i met the Blues by Buddy Guy that was recorded live, and is included on the soundtrack of a movie about the Chicago blues that was produced a long time ago. The soundtrack is available as a download, and a C... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Good call on T-Bone. When i first started listening to him as a teenager, i thought he was this old blues guy. Little did i know he was a huge entertainer back in the day, with band, show and dance moves.His style is often imitated, but... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Just heard Johnny W. about a month ago at the Turning Point in Piermont NY. He was totally on top of his instrument- he is a legendary player who can still play well. The room holds maybe 100 people if you include the folks sitting at the bar. I h... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie i saw Roy Buchanan open for Lowell George and little feat.I think it cost a buck, with a college ID. I like all these recommendations.let's not forget gary moore and still got blues.love that album jacket. | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Gang: I have had the Steelhead for 5-6 years, bought it new, never liked it straight in, and with the Lamm Reference line stage, it made pretty good music, using NOS Teles and rolling the 7044 tubes as well. There is a noise in my Lamm Reference, ... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Ruston, looks like we overlapped.:) | |
| Free Summer Music/Pittsburgh Not free, but when I lived in the 'Burgh back in the day, every major act came through, in part due to the 'connected' promoters, and the fact that it was a big enough city to accomodate large crowds in big venues. Here's a list that reflects just... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State As Ralph (I am assuming it was Ralph for Atmasphere) said, it is all in the matching- I have used tube amps since the very early 70's and have used many ARC products during that time. ( I currently use very low powered SET tube amps by Lamm, but w... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Blues covers a range of music, as reflected in some of the posts made here so far. Joey B. is electric blues reminiscent of Clapton in the formative years (although Joey has gotten too hard rock for me, still love him, and have seen him a bunch of... | |
| NYC Axpona Audio Show report That is correct, Chester Group organized. I wonder why hi-fi manufacturers don't do road shows or pop-up stores in areas where there are few dealers.Introducing people beyond the usual assortment of folks who frequent the conventional dealerships,... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Anybody mention 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus? Spirit was at their pinnacle, and very, very capable, not only at hard rock, but at a fusion of jazz style (think the older track, not on this album,- 'Fresh Garbage') and catchy pop. Throw in the great... |
