| Recent Ambient/Electronica? If you want something interesting, dark, and very creative I recommend Shackleton. Especially Music for the Quiet Hour / The Drawbar Organ EPs. The production is insane and it grows on you the more you listen you realize how creative and brilliant... | |
| Freak Me Out Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Just amazing and also very strange. Also, any music by the electronic artist Shackleton. It is unnerving and amazing electronic music that exists in it's own sonic world. | |
| R.I.P. John Renbourn Yes, agreed I was sad to see he passed away. As a relatively young person I did not realize until reading the obituary in the NYT how much he contributed to guitar players over the years. Playing my Pentangle album in honor of a great musician! If... | |
| Please help with Spectron Musician Issue. I too have had the same problem with my Spectron Musician 3 MK2. Over the years the left or right channel has either faded out or stopped working altogether. Right now the left channel is noticeably quieter than the right and it was just "fixed" 2... | |
| Good Bye George Shearing The live recordings of George Shearing and Ernestine Anderson are some of my favorites. Terri Gross from Fresh Air played a great interview with him from 1986. He always played so beautifully. | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "I Watch You Sleep" from Shirley Horn's album Softly. Just perfect. | |
| upgrades to Spectron Musician III Mk 2 2 months ago the left channel on my Musician3MK2 died for no apparent reason. I sent the amp to be fixed and decided, begrudgingly, while it was there to proceed with the Bybee and Vcap upgrades. Simon was very informative and responsive during th... | |
| Spectron amps-biwire=Remote sense+other cables? hi, my system is set up exactly as Oscarr44. I have Von Schweikert speakers with remote sense into the bass, purist audio Elementa advance in the midrange/upper. For me, the sound is excellent but I have not tried it with bi-wired cables and do no... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions I have to agree with other's who have more success using a preamp. I have an Audio Research LS 26 tube pre and a Spectron Amp. There is level of detail and musicality through the pre that is lost when I run direct. It just sounds flat when run dir... | |
| Spectron Amps: power on all the time? Tube Pre? Bob, Thanks for the reply. I guess I was over-thinking here. My preamp is automatically muted for the first minute so I can leave the amp on and shut down the rest of the system. Your suggestion is also a good one, although it is certainly less co... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio or Vandersteen Signature 3A Yeah, I'm really torn here and appreciate all of your inputs. I have the Virgo 3's but they are already sold. I listened to them again for the last time today and I really love the crisp open top end. When I listen to well recorded electronic musi... | |
| ARC LS26 power cords, interconnects, tweaks Thanks for your input. Last night I was tinkering around with some xlr cables i borrowed from the cable company. I put them in several days ago. There was some improvement in gain but it was not a night and day difference. At the request of the de... | |
| what concerts do you wish you attended? The Ahmad Jamal's Cross Country Tour Sessions. The sound is life-like on the album I feel like I"m there when I listen, but also because I love this music so much. Some of the finest jazz percussion you'll ever hear and his piano playing twinkles ... | |
