| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K I will add a recommendation for the Dynaudio Special 40. The sound is beautiful and they look beautiful. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Both classic Boz Scaggs albums. Boz Scaggs S/T really grabbed me, and, in particular, the song "Loan Me a Dime" started a lifelong quest to discover/uncover blues from past decades. This search quickly expanded to include jazz, ragtime &... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @Slaw, thanks for the Glen Hansard 'Between Two Shores' recommendation. Here's 2 new ones for you...Ashley McBryde 'Girl Going Nowhere' & Boz Scaggs 'Out of the Blues'. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Buffalo Springfield box set 'What's That Sound'. Mastered from the original tapes under the 'supervision' of Neil Young. I started with the mono versions (1st two albums) & the sonics are incredible. | |
| Seeking informed recommendations for power cables and interconnects Take a look at Signal Cable power cords & Interconnects. I used them exclusively on a fairly high-end bedroom system. I found that their products were comparable to the much, much more expensive stuff in my main system & you can maintain y... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Last night (6/8) Shelby Lynne @ McCabe's in Santa Monica. Talk about underrated...Great vocalist, instrumentist & song writer. | |
| The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ? Best: Anything on the ECM label. | |
| New Thread on Steve Hoffman website that says Audiogon sucks @rodman9999 - I can see your problem with Kevin Grey's mastering. Kenny Burrell doesn't play sax, so if Kenny's guitar sounded like one then that's pretty bad mastering work. | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Captain Beefheart - "Trout Mask Replica" & "Lick My Decals Off, Baby". Hard to listen to, hard to admire, genius. | |
| New system! I love your enthusiasum. May all your favorite records last forever. | |
| Real World Records 1/2 speed Remasters I just bought Gabriel's 1st 4 albums on the Real World label. Are these the ones of which you speak? If so, I will report back ASAP with a critique. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Alejandro Escovedo in March at Austin City Limits - Live. He did the "Man Under the Influence" album in its entirety. We flew in from Los Angeles to see the show. | |
| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease There is no cure or effective treatment for Meniere's. If you have a severe enough version you will go deaf and constantly lose your equilibrium. Less severe cases "just" have godawful/constant ringing in the ears. It is genetic. | |
| Favorite Dylan? "Highway 61 Revisited" (Mono), I used to listen to Desolation Row on reel-to reel tape at the school library (10th grade). | |
| The best music in 2018 Bobo Stenson, "Contra la Indecision" - ECM;Van Morrison, "You're Driving Me Crazy" - Sony/Legacy;John Surman, "Invisible Threads" - ECM. |
