| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mahgister: All taken in the spirit it was offered! Another factor that muddies the water in the matter of music lover vs. audiophile is the fact that the better the system, the deeper one is able delve into the music itself, not just enjoy the s... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie A list of 100 is much more doable than the Top 10 thread hot on YouTube in the past month, but still a challenge. Of course, the older one is and the greater the number of albums in one’s music library, the more difficult the job. I could make ... | |
| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? I concur with @tylermunns on the LP’s Steve Hoffman has been involved with (whether solo or in cahoots with Kevin Gray). I have a bunch of his DCC LP’s (the DCC ironically standing for Dunhill Compact Classics), which are real nice. They’re mo... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @garebear: Novus sells their products on their website, and so do Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, and DAP Plastics. Buy $25 or more and Amazon shipping is free. If you have a good plastics supply house in your area they should too, mine does. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights VPI tables have always come with a threaded (1/4-20) spindle and associated record clamp (and a 2mm thick x 1.25" diameter rubber washer to install under the LP). Their first table (the HW-19) featured a platter that was a 1" thick slab of alu... | |
| Tune of the Day Yeah Steve, I'm sure Palmer's version of the song made Moon more dough than did his own! I saw Moon in the Sherman Oaks Tower Records in the early-90's, then he just seemed to disappeared. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago. | |
| Audiogon, meet Buddy Miller. Fantastic info, all. And I am SO envious of those who have seen Buddy and/or Julie live! I have managed to see another artist working on Buddy’s level live: Rodney Crowell, accompanied by Steuart Smith on electric guitar and harmony vocals and th... | |
| Vinyl Lovers @lewm: And if that's the case, perhaps the Nagaoka and Furutech emit only positive ions. Neither has a trigger handle, only an on/off button. | |
| Tune of the Day Dang, it’s Moon Martin day on Audiogon! Hey Steve, have you heard Mink DeVille’s version of Moon’s "Cadillac Walk"? Moon’s is great, and Willie DeVille’s is just as good, though far different. Love ’em both! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon: Yes! Moon Martin was (is?) fantastic! His run of four albums on Capitol Records are just great---the marriage of Rock ’n’ Roll, classic Brill Building songwriting, and Power Pop production. His first was produced by Craig Leon (Blondie, Th... | |
| Audiogon, meet Buddy Miller. Buddy is not only a very unique guitarist with a style all his own, but he is also a really, really good singer. And then there is his producing. He manages to get a recorded sound unlike any other I have ever heard. It is a very "alive" sound... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? In the owners manual for my Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa loudspeakers, the company recommends bi-amping for maximum sound quality. From the manual: "By adding an additional amplifier and a crossover you can enjoy the benefits of increased dynamic ran... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". One reason I cut Rock band drummers some slack---especially those at the level of Led Zeppelin---is that they are playing in very large venues, and the music has to reach all the way to the back seats. Playing "lightly" and with subtlety just does... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I know John Bonham only from my very limited exposure to his playing on Led Zeppelin albums. I heard their debut when it came out, and found it unintentionally and almost hysterically funny, like the bar band in the movie Ghost World: Blues Hammer... | |
| Vinyl Lovers IIRC, the Zerostat emits one charge when squeezed, the other when released. I don’t remember which is positive and which is negative. As for LP (and CD) organization, whatever makes finding any given LP/CD when you want to hear it easiest. For me... |
