| Cat damaged speaker, Help When I moved in with my gf a few years ago her cat peed on my Vienna Bach speakers...creepy but harmless (the incident, not the speakers which I sold anyway due to midrange congestion). Also peed on a Les Paul guitar case that to this day carries ... | |
| Best long low noise RCA cables NO...you shall remain unforgiven for eternity, and sentenced to 4 years in punctuation school. | |
| Best long low noise RCA cables What I mean should be obvious as I stated earlier that NO unbalanced single ended cable should be used for long signal runs...it's wrong, noisy, tawdry, and untoward, and I shall not support this sort of misbehavior. I insist that all cease this c... | |
| Best long low noise RCA cables Sort of like "best summer tire to use in snow." | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? I LOVE meters...I often keep my Squeezebox Touch in its "meter mode" because it looks so cool. I think all amps should have glowing little needle meters...Pass does it...Cary, McIntosh, D'Agostino...I was looking at 2 new Rogers amps in a shop the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My most recent live jazz mixing gigs (didn't record 'em)were the Jeremy Pelt Quintet and Bill Charlap's trio. Both amazing, plenty of info online. The other "coffee house" stuff wasn't jazz so that's for some other thread. | |
| Is it all in my head? Yeah man...I'm SO glad I'm not you...I'd have some 'splainin to do to everybody wondering where I went. | |

| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? I use a tube power amp because it has a characteristic that most well regarded solid state amps claim to have: It's "tube like." | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think the sax is tawdry, and leads to unwanted pregnancies. This is why I currently prefer piano trios. | |
| Subsonic filter noise?? Although considered unhip in audiophillia, I use a subsonic filter for my Basik/Akito rig. Cambridge 640P (with a Pangea power supply). It works really well, stops the tawdry woofer flapping, and sounds great. Does that make me a bad person? | |
| Jazz for aficionados In respnse to that last asshat post...oh...wait...that was me...anyway...after working on an amazing concert by the Jeremy Pelt Quintet (man...) recently, a well regarded veteran jazz pro sax player I know said after the show, "Miles was better." ... | |
| Is it all in my head? As a humble and simple man, my approach is to keep things that sound good and change things that sound bad. Or change them because I feel like it. Or not. Please be like me. Thank you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Regarding why I think the way I do: I've been a professional musician since the late 60s (only mentioned for historical perspective). I've actually seen Monk (opening for Peter Paul and Mary at the Hollywood Bowl...I was maybe 12!)...and Joe Lovan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although being mired in the past is not atypical of jazz heads, I offer some current faves: Brad Mehldau kills me, as well as Bill Charlap's trio (I mixed one of their live shows recently)...John Scofield, Frisell's "Beautiful Dreamers" band are o... |
