| Whats on your turntable tonight? I was afraid of that, reubent. When I saw and heard her singing with Steve Earle recently on TV, Lucinda was a mess, and sounded drunk. Which is a shame; I like the band sound she had developed since the time of the original SOW. The sound on that... | |
| Rythmik subwoofer At it's price, the e110 SHOULD be better than Rythmik's entry level sub! That's like comparing a Toyota Corolla to a BMW 3-series. | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... I don't know how they compare, but since Ralph says they are similar:Frank Van Alstine at one time, and perhaps currently, offered an update/mod for the Dynaco PAS (2 and 3) pre-amps. Very reasonably priced, and a nice, very quiet, little tube pre... | |
| KLE Innovations Silver HarmonyRCA's - not silver eh? Because of their nylon barrels, the KLEI may look "cheap" in comparison to the gold-plated brass ones used by most other RCA plug makers. But their sound sure isn't! The other good RCA's are the WBT Next Gen, which are similar in design. With them... | |
| Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7? "The" best? That's easy: the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub. A dipole speaker with a dipole sub---how ya gonna beat that?! And one employing servo-feedback ta boot! | |
| Tune of the Day Here’s the thread I was looking for! (on which to recommend Lucinda William’s song "Essence"). Ah well, here’s another I love: Marshall Crenshaw’s "Dime A Dozen Guy", from his #447 album. Another is his recording of the Byrds "Have You Seen her Fa... | |
| Standout track on an album gpgr4blu---Can’t wait to hear the World Without Tears album.ericsch---Yep, love the Rough Trade album, the one of hers I’ve heard the most, both recorded and live. That’s the material she was playing when I started seeing her live around town (L.A... | |
| Racks made of wood I, and others, bought some, installed them, and appreciate the difference they make. Have you? ;-). Not as effective as the Townshend Audio Seismic Pods (which I also have), or the rather-expensive microscope tables (which I don’t---they are all o... | |
| What to do with inherited vintage Revox gear. The A700 is a really fine recorder, but at their age often require servicing, which ain't cheap; if required, Revox parts are pretty expensive. Would you do much recording if you had an A700? If yes, it may be worth it to you. I had an A77 restore... | |
| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? Too bad Plant didn't have either Dave Edmunds, a close friend of his, or Buddy Miller (whose albums Plant has previously appeared on), produce him. They both make great, organic sounding recordings, especially Buddy. | |
| Standout track on an album A couple more artists I am willing to spend the extra $ on for LP versions of new albums are John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement, and anyone else I really like who makes good sounding recordings. Lucinda fits in with that group... | |
| Standout track on an album I resisted for along time, but I've come to really like Amazon. They have everything in stock, and the free shipping is super fast. Ten bucks for an album? Such a deal! An even better deal is the basket of $5 DVD's at my Fred Meyer store. Just yes... | |
| Racks made of wood If your choice of table includes considerations of sound quality (your post doesn't say), Slaw's suggestion is a good one (no surprise there, ay?!). For less than a hundred bucks, you can get a set Ingress Engineering (Canadian) roller bearings to... | |
| Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx? The old Deccas were known to mate well with the FR arms, as well as the Zeta. Current Londons are being used on arms ranging from the Helius Omega (a fantastic, though low-profile arm. Robert Levi at Positive Feedback preferred the sound of his Re... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great, thanks slaw, I'll look for it. Portland actually has a fair amount of vinyl, though nowhere near what L.A. does. I'm going down in April to haul some more of my vintage drum collection up here. I plan on doing some LP shopping while I'm dow... |
