Chuck Nessa

Well, I guess I will delete my message about sending George money fo' yo' pleasure.

The Kings were beautiful to hear and look at. They broke down all the time. All my friends with Kings spent their youth in the shop.

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go back to my first post on this thread - mention the recording engineer giving you this great sound! If you don't know, why not - if you care so much about "sound"?

This might tell you something about the "high end audio" marketers and by extension, the followers. Few of these "experts" dealt with this stuff "back then".

How can you tell if a Martian is coming?

Dan was on Fresh Air today.

Listened to Mingus' Debut Rarities, vol 1 tonight. Joe Maini and Bill Triglia are in wonderful form here along with Brother Knepper.

I think the packaging is "over the top consumerism". So they found a way to sell this to the "concerned consumer" crowd. Best of all cynical worlds. B-) "Class" don't mean mass.

Silly boy.

For a short time amps had an RIAA setting but this changed as it became the "standard".

40 years? You're a slow reader, Chuck! Hey! I took a "speed reading" class at the University of Iowa in 1962! Eventually you placed your book in this machine and it drew a curtain down the page to make you read faster. Then we were tested on comprehension. Learned the facts but not the flavor.

Geez! I screwed something up? Imagine that!

No dis to you or Mr. Addey but maybe credit should be given to the original producer and recording engineer.

It refers to equalization, a preamp function. The RIAA curve became the standard and was built into the equipment. You can read about it HERE

Sadly, we won't be able to attend this year. Ann and I leave Thursday morning for a 10 hour drive to central Iowa.

Nah, we invade Ohio first (red state) so I can watch our friend Conn/Paul squirm.

Yup.

So,,,,,,,,I guess this means I'll be getting MUCH more respect around here.

Why are all the pads on the top side of the horn?

Hey, it is late at night so I may be off base, but do I remember "boston" being another name for "stride"?

That's never stopped anyone from not voting in the past.

No shit!

Last time I saw/heard Conte was the early '80s and he was takin' no prisoners.

I think Burl Ives is dead & don't think he listened to the Art Ensemble.

Do not ignore the Naxos Bartok recordings of Gyorgy Pauk. The concerti are slower than I like, but beautiful and the chamber stuff is first rate.
