| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Great to hear from youse guys! @mashif: I saw the original lineup of Band in 1969, at the Berkeley Community Theater, a great sounding room. Their second album had just been released, an album that changed my life. I really relate to the st... | |
| New In 2024 I'm green with envy @slaw! I've been jonesing to see Gillian and David for years, but they never make it to the Northwest. | |
| Building crossovers @arya: Danny at GR Research has several guys who build his speaker kits (including crossovers) for those lacking the tools, skills, and/or desire to do it themselves. I imagine having one of them build you just a crossover is possible, so conta... | |
| Analogue Productions New Doors LA Woman Vinyl Disc @viridian: "But there is only one original." Well, actually..... Since discovering Discogs, and reading the Hoffman Forums, the matter of pressing plants has "unfortunately" come to my attention. Even first pressings from different plants can ... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes Thanks for the clarification @clio09. I believe you have corrected me on that matter before . I attended the talk Roger gave at Brooks Berdan Ltd., in which he introduced the RM-10. At that time I had a two pair of QUADS, mounted in a frame... | |
| Are your records a health concern? Oh yeah @noromance, right you are. | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @chazz101s: Jim Gordon is correct. As The 3rd drummer’s name may not be as familiar to many as the other two, I’ll divulge it now: Earl Palmer. Earl considered himself a Jazz musician, but didn’t turn down offers for Rock ’n’ Roll recording se... | |
| Are your records a health concern? I wonder if CD's are also made of PVC? | |
| Building crossovers Give Danny Richie at GR Research a call or email. He had had at least one Magnepan model sent to him for evaluation, and he posted a YouTube video in which he discusses and demonstrates what he discovered. As he regularly does with loudspeakers... | |
| New In 2024 In November, a new album (entitled Woodland) from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. | |
| Electrostatics and tubes To add to Ralph’s (atmasphere) expert commentary, probably the most transparent music reproduction I have ever heard was a pair of QUAD ESL’s driven by a pair of his M-60 OTL amps. Roger Modjeski was also a huge fan of the QUADs, and used that... | |
| Isolation systems @sidog1460: The question of whether to isolate components individually vs. install Townshend Audio Seismic Corners on a rack is an interesting one. The Corners isolate the rack and everything it supports from floor-borne vibrations, but do noth... | |
| Isolation systems @sidog1460: The article linked by @dituse is well worth reading. The first point made in the article dispels the myth that spikes provide isolation. They do not; spikes couple, they do not decouple (thereby providing isolation). The anti-reson... | |
| Analogue Productions New Doors LA Woman Vinyl Disc @viridian: I recognized your post as tongue-in-cheek, and appreciated the levity . Just for the record (ha), your original pressing of Kind Of Blue contains one LP side cut with the tempo and pitch of the instruments different from what the mu... | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) @tony1954: James Burton is correct. I vividly remember watching James playing his Telecaster on The Ozzie & Harriet Show. After Ricky became a Rock 'n' Roll star, he and his little band closed the show every night. And if you compare James'... |
