    My Mercury Living Presence pressing of Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring", I'm always stunned by how good these old recordings are, this one was recorded before I was born, bought this copy on Soundstage Direct a couple years ago...fabulous.:mn:

    Is anyone experiencing unusual things on CRF?

    Shaggy has moved the forum to a new host server recently, this morning I got a "DNS" (Denial of Service) message when I tried to log into CRF. 40 minutes later when I tried again I got in no problem. I have let him know so hopefully he contacts his technicians and they sort this out. Sorry...

    The Greater Conceptual/Lyrical Genius: Waters vs Lennon

    John had one ability that I did respect, he saw the "Big Picture" and the potential for people to be better than we are, even though he was far from perfect himself. They are two different musicians, that I listen to for completely different reasons. But I do find John to have a much healthier...

    ^^It was an upgrade for you GG which is the only way to go and 30 years ago unless you knew a technician or lived in a big city options were limited when it came to fixing up old equipment, one thing the internet has revolutionized is getting your hands on almost impossible to find parts these...

    Chicago "36"

    That's a really interesting new technology we'll see if it catches on. 36 albums that is a lot of music if it means this is their XXXVI release that is.

    ^^Used to you posting your new vinyl in the Wax Works George. Rush Archives...never seen that one here Rush albums are extremely popular and don't last long in the shops when they do arrive.

    Brain Twister

    Sorry Mighty Metal Priest doesn't ring a bell...you know come to think of it I stopped watching Music Videos in the mid 80's, from what I've seen they still haven't surpassed Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" which remains my favorite.

    Top 10 Songs Blue Öyster Cult

    Nice to see a song off Mirrors on your list Moore_82, I know the band wasn't too fond of Mirrors but I've always thought it was a good solid record.

    The Greater Conceptual/Lyrical Genius: Waters vs Lennon

    ^^I fixed the title for you GushinRussian. Waters for me, even though I find him to be sort of depressing at times. I feel his body of work is just more imaginative than Lennon's.

    Tell us about your stereo!

    ^^Years ago my brother's Celestion Ditton 551's started to fall apart, and eventually he just threw them away, most likely some scavengers picked them up but looking back he should have kept them. It's not hard to find proper parts or refoam woofers which is what they needed. I've seen a...

    Tell us about your stereo!

    ^^It is weird sometimes how interference affects your equipment, years ago I was living beside a guy with a massive Ham radio set, when he was broadcasting and I had my stereo on I would pick up all kinds of random signals, including some police chat from 3 blocks away...really disconcerting and...

    Harry Chapin (Official Thread)

    Daddy O means Dad, just a hip/cool word that was popular back in the 'groovy 70's '. He used the word because it rhymed with 'radio' in the next line. AM Rock, popular music played on AM radio stations usually short 3 minutes songs before FM radio came along and changed the landscape. Sock...

    Interest in music

    My interest in music started with my Mom when I was a toddler, we grew up in an atmosphere of her favorite artists. Dad finally bought us a decent stereo when we were teenagers and the die was cast. My interest has waxed and waned over the decades but I've always come back to it as an...

    Hendrix/Morrison/Joplin Ruck?

    ^^I can picture that happening easily...:gig Now that I think about it they all died much too young, definitely a product of the 'it's better to burn out...than fade away' approach to life. Morrison was a church mouse in his early days, but his stage fright was so bad he needed a few drinks to...

    My favorite Firefall album, "Elan". This album blew me away back in the 70's the first time I heard it at a local stereo shop when the salesman demonstrated a pair of Klipschorn's and I still love it to this day.

    No One Wants To Discover New Music

    The wholesale destruction of the local radio stations I consider a loss of our heritage, not just a good source for music. I don't know why the government has allowed a near monopoly by a couple corporations to buyout independent stations and then serve cookie cutter pablum from coast to...

    Listening to a Jethro Tull album that get's overlooked a lot, "Too Old To Rock & Roll, Too Young To Die", my vinyl copy. Much better shape than Music From Big Pink, a few crackles here and there but nothing serious and it's a used record I got from Terry's flea market.:D Putting my old...

    ^^No I can't find the receipt, I bought it over a year ago but I am so irritated I feel like buying another copy, keep it and take this one back and get a refund...then again there's the chance the replacement might be noisy too. I was really busy back then and never got round to playing it for...

    Listening to my Capitol vinyl reissue of The Band's 'Music From Big Pink', and it's noisy as hell...I should have taken this one back and got a credit, I don't think even another cleaning on my VPI will salvage it. Damned shame that's one thing that pisses me off no end, there is no excuse for...
