| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Geez, if George Martin and Paul McCartney were heaping praise all over an album, and I didn't "hear what all the hoopla is about", I would not admit it in public. ;-) I'm in the minority (though not alone) in considering Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hear... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Oh yeah, a bid 3rd on Twilley’s "I’m On Fire"! His "Tryin’ To Find My Baby" is another Power Pop classic. And how could I have not included "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid? As I write I’m listening to Dave Edmund’s great ... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Good post @lonemountain. I was a huge Beach Boys fan through the All Summer Long album (1964), and they were the first group I saw live (that summer). I had a ticket to see The Beatles on their ’64 tour, but decided to pass. I wasn’t yet sold on t... | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes." ;-) | |
| Is Mark Levinson still considered up there with the best of the best? John Curl designed a number of early Levinson products. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Paul McCartney: "The thing that really made me sit up and take notice was the bass lines on Pet Sounds. If you were in the key of C, you would normally use the root note...a C on the bass. But you just get a completely different effect if you pla... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? - "God Only Knows", music by Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher. - "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted", written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean. - "Waterloo Sunset" by Ray Davies. - "When You Walk In The Room" by Jackie DeSh... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Concerning the Muddy Waters Folk Singer album: As far as I know the first "audiophile" remaster/repress of the album was that of Mobile Fidelity, released in 1994. There is no mention of the mastering engineer on the LP's gatefold cover. I've nev... | |
| EAR founder has cancer @petg60: Alas, Tim passed away in December of 2020. Those of us who own one (or more) of his amps and/or pre-amps consider ourselves fortunate. | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Being on the older side, I have a lot to choose from. Like many who have owned the QUAD ESL, they are number one. Then there is the unique Townshend Audio Rock Turntable, mine being the Elite/Mk.2 version. Mated to it is another keeper, the Zeta... | |
| Favorite religious song If you are old enough to remember the 1960's San Jose Group named People, you may recall they had a hit single with their recording of The Zombies song "I Love You". People had two lead singers, one of them named Larry Norman. After leaving People... | |
| New In 2022 @jafant: 8 CD’s?! Those musta been a coupla damn long concerts (the original 2-LP album is drawn from two live shows) Little Feat played! I’ll be looking for this boxset, thanks. The evolution of this band is interesting to me. Lowell George was ... | |
| Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets. ’’’...filter out most all of the jitter at the speaker terminals"? What exactly do you mean by "jitter"? Jitter from where and from what? | |
| Is There A Big Difference Between Subwoofers From Different Manufacturers To answer the OP's question very literally, there is one sub which is VERY different from ALL other subs: The Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Subwoofer, a joint effort between Danny Richie of GR Research and Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio. Different how, y... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo Good observation, @audition_audio. Just one of the things that makes the RM-200 as unique as it is. And he gets 100 watts out of a pair of KT-88’s not by driving them hard (which of course shortens their life, something Modjeski was very much oppo... |
