| "NEWEST'" Favorite album ghost, since you're now a spirit of eden devotee, check out comsat angels "waiting for a miracle" and "sleep no more"; also roy harper's "hq". lemme know what you think... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... i can understand that the op would be unhappy about a reviewer dissing/devaluing his very expensive amp. what i'm puzzled by is the other posters objecting to a reviewer publishing a negative review--esp. since stereophile is oft accused of being ... | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album a couple i'll toss in:talk talk--spirit of eden. always thought of these guys as middleweight duran duran wannabes, but this record, however, is incredible--trippy, intense, hypnotic. i bet radiohead spent alot of their formative years listening t... | |
| Hoodoo Gurus suggestion i've got spy v spy on my list. a couple other ozzies to check out:1. orange humble band, assorted creams--virtually perfect pop written by the guy from lime spiders (a good but not transcendent band), but sung by ken stringfellow from the posies a... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? i'm aware as i write this that i've lost my integrity as audiophile, but like bondmanp et. al., i've become addicted to the convenience of SBT and to MOG. these days i listen to CDs mainly because i feel guilty about having so many shiny discs sim... | |
| What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice? simao, you speak of wanting more "presence", thus i'm surprised that no one has suggested adding a sub--your monitors only extend down to 60hz or so and might benefit from more low-end depth. hsu subs are awesome for the price, i also like mirage ... | |
| George Harrison - '' It Don't Come Easy '' there's an acoustic george harrison tribute album (i believe just called 'tribute') by yim yames (a/k/a jim james) from my morning jacket, who i've opined is one of the best singers of this era. found it on mog. candidly, i never conected with geo... | |
| Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time best thread ever..... | |
| Using TV as Audio Hub? if you're not doing a lot of critical listening in your guestroom, i'd go to accessories4less, vann's or comparable and get an avr--you can find a serviceable onkyo, marantz, etc. for less than $300--then connect all your audio and video sources t... | |
| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists a couple i'll toss in:steve marriott (small faces, humble pie)--the great white soul shouterjim james (my morning jacket)--i've got very mixed feelings about their recent records, but the guy has an incredible, hypnotic voicerobin zander (cheap tr... | |
| In what price range do I need to go for a Dac ? as a probably-worthless aside, my $59-on-ebay muse audio mini hifi dac (which i've crowed about on these forums) uses the exact same dac and opamps as the op's $1500 simaudio. i know there's more to a dac's sound than just the chip, but i'd actual... | |
| Admiral Television? the other listed bass player on war babies, john siegler, became the bass player in utopia and also played bass in (no. 1 suspect) rick derringer's epononymously-titled band, deringer. now watch, we're all on the wrong track. | |
| Admiral Television? i still cling to rick derringer--found this link between him and h&o:http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/rick-derringer/concerts/palladium-september-13-1981.htmlalso, the bass player from his band derringer played with h&o.if we put this much ef... | |
| Admiral Television? keep us posted.... | |
| Admiral Television? i was intrigued enough by this whodunit to pull out the record and listen to it for clues. my best guess:1. it's not tom verlaine, since (as per hudu) he the record predated his notoriety and, above all, nothing on the record sounds like him.2. li... |
