| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @tablejockey: 2- Incorrect answer, but a great guitarist none-the-less. And coincidently, Glen was also a member of The Wrecking Crew. Hint: The guitarist in question is well known as a Fender Telecaster player, a pink paisley one no less. 3-... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes I heard the Sanders Model 10 ESL’s at two Stereophile shows, and considered the sound they produced to be the best at the shows. At one of the shows I also heard a gigantic pair of SoundLabs ESL’s, but there was definitely something wrong. Ampl... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) For a related quiz: 1- Name the sax player who worked in Rock ’n’ Roll bands from the 1950’s all the way into the 1980’s. Hint: He recorded his own single, the title of which contained his last name. 2- Name the electric guitarist who play... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) With encouragement from @tablejockey, I'll do my best. 1- I dunno. 2- Booker T. (Jones), Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, and the great Al Jackson, Jr. 3- Songwriter and bassist Willie Dixon. 4- Texas and Iowa. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Right you are @gumbedamit. He says the same in his reviews of both the LFT-8b and 8c. It can be argued that the opinion of ESL’s by one who doesn’t like ESL’s is of no value. Just as an opinion about a, say, horn loudspeaker by one who doesn’t ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Jerry Miller, lead guitarist of Moby Grape. He played in a little club in Portland about six weeks back, and passed away about a month later. See 'em while you can, folks. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Steve Guttenberg followed up his review of the Eminent Technology LFT-8b with a review of the new LFT-8c. In the review he gives his opinion that the 8c is a significant upgrade from the 8b, and that he considers it superior to all Magnepan mod... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Here’s a true example of how musician’s are used and abused by the music biz: In the late-60’s Bill Graham held auditions at The Fillmore Auditorium on Monday nights. Numerous bands played a set, and those chosen were given an opening slot ... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes @terry9 and @sierratrails: I’m amongst friends! In the spring of 1973 I paid my first visit to one of the new high end shops that were popping up around the U.S.A. in the wake of The Absolute Sound joining J. Gordon Holt’s Stereophile (Gord... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes @hotrod6871: The first thing to do is understand that---as @fuzztone told you---Maggies are not electrostatic speakers (and visa versa of course), and the two differ in important ways. What they both are, however, is dipole planar speakers. Dip... | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables A great thing about some VPI models is the interchangeability and upgrade options of the turntable’s components/parts. For instance, the HW-19 came with it’s motor mounted on the table’s wooden base, but VPI later offered a 9 lb. free-standing ... | |
| Has anyone upgraded the crossovers on Spatial Hologram M4 series loudspeakers? If you send one of your M4's to Danny Richie at GR Research, he will run his full battery of tests: frequency response, cumulative spectral decay---aka waterfall plot, crossover filters and parts quality, enclosure resonances, etc. He will then... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. @asctim: Drums is my main instrument. I've personally known only one bassist who went from electric to acoustic upright bass: Todd Phillips, who has worked with a lot of the modern Bluegrass masters. Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, David Grisman, et... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. @asctim: Hi Tim. I played in a Blues trio with a bassist who had an electric upright bass. It didn’t sound much different than a regular electric bass (the neck was fretless of course), but looked kinda cool. Hey, did you ever play music with C... | |
