| HiFiMan - A Contronym - A Story Retold I've got Hifiman Susvara, and while their sound is superb, I've never liked the design of Hifiman cans, especially that cheap headband mechanism. I sure wish they made something that sounded that good that had the look and feel of Meze Empyrion or... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @tcutter - in my college dorm back in the early 70's, that first Captain Beyond was VERY popular - excellent album. And the drumming is just insane... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? @erik_squires - that's interesting - for me, I need the light some manual temp and time controls and a revolving platter; I've got a Sharp Carousel II that I've had for almost 35 years, and it still works fine, though sometimes I have to wack it o... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers @devinplombier + 1 I would never, ever buy from a company that threatened reviewers with legal action. While I could afford their gear, I would never buy anything from dCS for that reason. I've never heard Tekton speakers so I'll say nothing abou... | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! @fastfreight - awesome! Thanks for the correction; I didn't think they were still doing all of 'Dark Side', but they did have 2 sets.... I did see them at Merriweather Post on the 'Dark Side' tour... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums Yes, Neil Young 'Live Rust' was excellent; I was at that show and got some great photos of it, too. But my favorite Neil Young live album was 'Weld', from the 'Ragged Glory' tour. Such a great crunching metallic sound all over that! | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @johnnotkathi - Hi - I've lived in San Francisco since 1973 and was a regular denizen of the Mab (I started going in late '76 when Jerry Paulsen was still the promoter of punk gigs there a couple nights a week), and have known Jello since he first... | |
| "Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better! Now that the DeGritter Mk II is out, there might be used OG DeGritters on the market for a good price.... Mine will not be one of them... | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! @fastfreight - Indeed - another thing that helps me is that I was a concert photographer during the 70's and I know (most of the) dates of the gigs I photographed. | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! @fastfreight - in 1975, Pink Floyd were touring on 'Wish You Were Here', and premiering new material that would come out as 'Animals'. I was there and got some great photos, too. | |
| Top 10 Live Albums @bassbuyer - they can really add up! I got all the Dicks Picks, but I had to pass on ol' Dave. What I do love are those annual deluxe boxes they put out; I've got every one of those since the first one from the 'Live Dead' Fillmore shows... This y... | |
| Whole Lotta Led @tablejockey - interesting you say that, because I did go see Jimi at Baltimore Civic Center on Mother's Day of 1969..... | |
| It Was Twenty Years Ago Today! @bassbuyer - early Montrose was amazing; one of the first shows I saw when I moved to San Francisco was Montrose at Winterland; I'd never heard of them; their first album had just come out, but holy cow they blew me away. I remain convinced that i... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums Not that much into live albums (except my large collection of Grateful Dead box sets, but that's a whole nother thing), but I'll throw in a vote for UFO 'Strangers In The Night' as well, with an honorable mention to Blue Oyster Cult's 'Extraterres... | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @go4vinyl - funny you mention those American bands like Angel, Starz, Legs Diamond, etc; I've got a friend in England, and that was totally what he was in to! Also what he termed '-er bands', like 'Player' and any number of others with similar nam... |
