Best cover songs? Here is The Fabulous Thunderbirds 1982 recording of a song originally done By Ron Holden & The Thunderbirds (different bunch-o-birds 😊 ) in 1959, "My Babe". The song is found on their album T-Bird Rhythm, produced by Edmunds’ partner in Ro... | |
Best cover songs? And here is his recreation of the Chantels’ Girl Group classic "Maybe", found on his second album Subtle As A Flying Mallet. Dave plays every instrument and sings every note heard in this recording. The modulation (key change) as we head into t... | |
Best cover songs? Here is Dave Edmunds’ re-imagining of "I Hear You Knocking", turning the Smiley Lewis Blues song into a Rock ’n’ Roll scorcher. Listen to the tension Dave creates in his guitar solo. Now think back to where Rock music was heading in 1970, the y... | |
Planar Speakers and Diffusors The DC3 Multifuser works great on the wall behind my planars, stacked three high on each side: | |
Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? The "no lip" LP is called a "flat profile", and was introduced back when Classic Records was in business. At least that is my understanding. | |
As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. Several years ago one poster on the Planar Speaker Asylum (I believe it was) wrote about speaking with Thigpen regarding upgrading the LFT-8 x/o. Bruce was not-in-the-least offended, and in fact provided the LFT-8 owner with details on how to d... | |
Best music in 2024 Released on CD only in 2001, Rodney Crowell’s The Houston Kid is finally available on LP. It is the current Vinyl Me Please Country Music Record Of The Month (March), and is one of those rare animals: a perfect album. Eleven excellent songs, co... | |
Found a Milty Zerostat alternative I still have my original Zerostat (the body of which is glossy red, both smaller and more rounded than the Zerostat III) sitting in a drawer, but stopped using it when in the 1980’s I got the already-mentioned Nagaoka Kilavolt No. 103, which I ... | |
TAS. The Absolute Sound? Tom Martin comes across to me as do the salesmen in some high end shops. Prior to the appearance of TAS in 1973, J. Gordon Holt (who started Stereophile in 1962) was the only hi-fi reviewer assessing the quality of components based on their... | |
Turntable Isolation @travisg: If you go with the Townshend, know that a set of 4 Seismic Pods is much cheaper than the Seismic Platform. Place the Pods under a shelf of your choosing (Baltic Birch plywood makes a great shelf) to save some $. | |
TAS. The Absolute Sound? @viridian: I’m in complete agreement with your opinion and statement. I had already been reading J. Gordon Holt’s reviews in his essentially 1-man operation Stereophile Magazine when Harry Pearson started TAS. Holt’s number one priority in ass... | |
Eric Carmen @loomisjohnson: Wow, I'll have to give "Let's Pretend" a listen. Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard ("I Fall To Pieces" being one he wrote) coined the term "Three chords and the truth" to describe Country music songs. The Raspberries wore matchin... | |
Eric Carmen @loomisjohnson: For a song in which the chords fly by at a brisk pace, give "This Whole World" by Brian Wilson a listen. It's found on The Beach Boys Sunflower album, and is exhilarating! | |
As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @ledoux1238: And it is members such as yourself that keeps me from abandoning Audiogon altogether. In addition to the LFT-8, we also have in common the Trans-Fi Terminator arm, mine mounted on a VPI Aries (with a TNT-5 platter). The Terminator... | |
As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @ledoux1238: Thanks for the heads up, I’m gonna read it right now. |
