| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Sunnyjim...clearly you have your own taste (!), but I fully expect everybody to agree with me all the time about everything, including you. Don't let me down...I'm very sensitive. I do have to note however that Fagan and Becker are all Steely Dan ... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos I get the same "it's sterile but cool" reaction at first listening to anything from these guys and I've found that opinion always changes for the better as I warm up to it. "Condos" may or may not wind up as a fave, but I think the larger point be... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos What about Kamakiriad? Kidding...but it is interesting how these guys compete with themselves...I suppose that's a good thing. Becker's "11 Tracks of Whack" has maybe had more play from me than nearly anything these guys have produced, and it rare... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Morph is a great album (except to sunnyjim and my gf) and usually only engenders criticism among those comparing it to other "Dan" stuff...a useless but understandable exercise especially relative to the mountains of crap released in the pop music... | |
| What causes microphonics in a tonearm? I stuck my "used but clean" Linn Basik/Akito on a light but stable table by itself...as the instructions instructed (after initially ignoring said instructions and learning they actually know what they're doing). The resut was as predicted, and ha... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos I got "Condos" the day it came out after pre-ordering it...I NEVER do that, and had no idea it would arrive the day it was released. Whoo hoo...the bad news is that my GF can't listen to Fagan, and barely to Becker (his 2 solo albums are BRILLIANT... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Live un-amplified muttering is an acoustic phenomena that, weirdly, is noiseless by nature. I worry more about the ACTUAL floor. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I find that when I cram a symphony orchestra into my listening room they can't properly access their instruments...so everybody just stands there crammed together like sardines on a subway at rush hour...mostly without the sardine odor. Mostly. Th... | |
| Cabledyne - cable bargain of the century The "cable bargain of the century" has to be waiting for cables to show up used here or on Ebay and buying them unburdened (or merely entertained) by the endless pretentious hype displayed by cable manufacturers, or as in the case of Cabledyne, ca... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers PMC Makes well regarded transmission line speakers that include a bookshelf model, and they aren't so large, and the insanely popular Bose radios are nothing but plastic boxes with a couple of cheap drivers loaded with transmission lines...a conce... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers Magicos seem to be the primary example of modern sealed design, but they're so expensive they sort of have their own little world most mortals can't enter. Also, some designs have a port with a passive speaker plugging it up to aid in efficiency a... | |
| Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy.. Spend less on gear so you can afford a nanny, marriage counseling, and a move to CT where you can make more money. | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? I'm still upset...but calming down. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I have to give proper "props" properly to my 10 or 12 year old REL Q150E subwoofer...I bought this thing a couple of years ago from an apparent fool who noted the grill cloth was missing but otherwise it "seemed" to work, for about 200 bucks. Gril... | |
| using a jumper cable - connect which set of post? The brass jumpers that came with my Silverline speakers are PERFECT. We're talking about an inch...AN INCH...now I'm all upset... |
