| Gerry Rafferty dies I disagree. It's news plain and simple and the cause of death is part of it. Perhaps I'm callous but sticking your head in the sand to ignore the news doesn't somehow make it better. Alcohol and drug-related deaths are nothing to hide. Perhaps suc... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Amazon (via a third party vendor). No problems. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The new remaster of XTC - "Skylarking" done at 45 RPM.If you're a fan of the album, run, don't walk to get a copy. Well worth the price of admission. | |
| Grant Green suggestions "Feelin' The Spirit" is one of his best, but it puzzles me as to why it has never been given the Music Matters 45RPM treatment like so many other GG titles. Same goes for Herbie Hancock's "Inventions and Dimensions" - great album, but never domest... | |
| Ceiling tiles using rigid fiberglass If you are indeed looking for better soundproofing between the two floors, I'd recommend using something like Quietrock 530 or Soundbreak XP. Standard drywall solutions leave quite a bit to be desired as far as STC ratings are concerned. I used bo... | |
| Best recording audiophile level albums of 2010 Notec,Agreed. Uncanny dynamics and presence to Tillman's voice, almost unheard of in a modern recording; a tip of the hat to Steve Albini/Electrical Audio. Highly recommended. | |
| I'm looking forward to listening tonight..... Ironically, they tried changing the seats at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall around 20 years ago, and found it depreciated the acoustics so much, they went back to the nasty old ones; bring a cushion! I also believe "The Hall" didn't come into it... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Marty,I recall you telling the story of KC playing your birthday - now that's a hell of a present! They're all good, but the first two or three Kid Creole studio recordings are absolute must-owns - "Off The Coast of Me"; "Fresh Fruit in Foreign Pl... | |
| Outlaw RR2150 - Is there a better receiver? Recently a friend was looking for a receiver, but didn't want all the bells and whistles typically included on most contemporary receivers; he wanted to listen to music, not setup a home theater. He needed a turnkey solution (meaning no separate c... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Kostas,Yes he has - look under the comments on his system page. | |
| Opinions - The Absolute Sound I used to read it 20+ years ago. Since the hobby is purely subjective, what's the point; HP's opinion is as relevant as my local butcher's (though since the butcher is 40+ years younger, he technically has better hearing). There are numerous onlin... | |
| American Folk/Bluegrass music to die for I recommend all the John Hartford LPs on Flying Fish. "Mark Twang" is one of my all-time favorite LPs from ANY genre, and the recording is of reference quality (and some). -Richard | |
| light source for tt setup Dan,Still worth every penny not having to jockey around the deck with multiple light sources in hand. Enjoy illumination! | |
| light source for tt setup I use a Dolan-Jenner Fiber Light model 190 which is made for laboratory illumination: http://www.dolan-jenner.com/Pro/190.htmIt has a nice, infinitely positionable goose neck and is extremely focused and bright. Look on epay for a used model. I pa... |
