| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. The Cambridge dictionary defines an Audiophile: a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about equipment for playing recorded sound, and its quality I kinda like that definition. Perhaps most music lovers are audiophiles at heart; ... | |
| Help us build our playlist for our next show in November! If I was the list maker I’d consider Mahavishnu Orchestra cuts from Visions of the Emerald Beyond: Eternity’s Breath - Part 1 (plus Part 2, time permitting) Lila’s Dance Can’t Stand Your Funk Pastoral Faith In essence, all of side one has a ... | |
| I won the stressless lottery Did it come with NOS tubes? | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? Because I needed a small subwoofer that would fit under my modified-buffet stereo cabinet, I chose to start with one sub and was immediately pleased with the enhanced SQ. However, after listening for a few weeks I decided something was off, the b... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. (Manic Monday is another great Prince-written song.) Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away by Stevie W. is one I always find comfort with. The saddest, concise, mostly unknown pop song IMO is Quits by Danny O’Keefe, Linda Ronstadt backing vocals... | |
| Inexpensive but decent 8" subwoofers I concur that the SVS 3000 Micro deserves a look. It combines two horizontally opposed 8" woofers in a compact, attractive package which i was able to fit under a buffet used as my stereo cabinet. I bought one a few months ago and then added a s... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Having a Southern heritage myself it always dismays me when entire swaths of people are vilified, as if they acted in unity to commit "evil". Viewed through the lens of todays (hopefully) forward thinking, enlightened perspective we can easily a... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The Band…..self titled. I’m hard pressed to recall another album capable of transporting me so deeply into another mind space. ”Last night, ain’t no joke…my whole barn went up in smoke..” King Harvest. Richard Manuel’s vocals on Whispering Pine... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Excellent picks! L. Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel Getz/Gilberto The Band - s/t | |
| AI and the future of music @ghdprentice well, we’re getting closer but, to me anyway, no cigar yet. A blues song should take you to a new, though still familiar, emotional state; that A.I. “song” had the recognizable signposts but possessed no true emotional weight IMHO.... | |
| AI and the future of music @macg19 gotta admit I did sweat a little during a few phrases… I would advise that AI songwriter to kinda toughen up a little….get a lil full sun on those capacitors in the field for a few long rows. Robert Johnson rests easy wherever he is…. | |
| AI and the future of music Perhaps it’s already happened, but I’m having difficulty imagining A.I. coming up with an authentic blues song. | |
| Stephen Stills I believe For What Its Worth will continue to endure for many years...it gets played a lot, appears on many songlists. Manassas is a great album, and 4+20 is a late night song that still resonates with me as strongly as when it was first released... | |
| Stoned ice coffee? The Doors always got my respect for not succumbing to ad revenue. Guitarist Robbie Krieger was particularly steadfast in resisting the temptation. One can only imagine what commercials "Light My Fire" would be used for... | |
| So This Really Is The End.... I think the title of the post says an awful lot. When Jim Morrison sang “….MUSIC is your ONLY friend….” In The Doors song “The End” I felt he was speaking directly to me. In high school I thought that more than once. Flipping through the record ... |
