Actually I was called to a job, so could not make it - and I was fortunate to have it delivered to my home She loves the sunroof Happy wife - happy life 😎

Welllll, my buddy has crooned his way into the heart of his new LF so now they're both stopping by to listen. It's cool but he ALWAYS likes his old blues so the other night I changed it up on him when they stopped. He HATES it when I change it up but I counter his whining w/the fact I'm helping him get out of his rut. hahaha So yup, I did it with her here. Gave him a shot of blues then threw on The Doobie Brothers - Captain and Me from 1974. Yup sing along time for her instead of being bored to death & deep into the blues. THEN it happened. Hit 'em both w/some Dr Hook! First up was one of my all time favorites from 1973's "Belly Up" release. Yes Sir, they were both lost tying to figure out WHO was playing BUT loved my song since it was the second song on side 1. Check me out! 😂 Allllll down hill after that cause they were "Hooked!"

Pretty good for a guy with only 3 working fingers, from an accident

When I saw Bloodrock this is what I was expecting I believe it was pulled from radio it was so controversial at the time

Born Under a Bad Sign is the second compilation album by American blues musician Albert King, released in August 1967 by Stax Records. It features eleven electric blues songs that were recorded from March 1966 to June 1967, throughout five different sessions. King played with two in-house bands: Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the Memphis Horns. Although the album failed to reach any music chart, it did receive positive reviews from music critics and is often cited as one of the greatest blues albums ever made. The guitar playing on Born Under a Bad Sign influenced many guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Born Under a Bad Sign has been recognized by several music institutions, and has been inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, and the National Recording Registry. Wiki Fantastic lp and TOTALLY ANALOG from the original master recordings. It's good boys and girls. A bit pricey but worth it!

Cha Chingy! Coolness factor? Need an ear massage that turns into a full outta body experience? Yea, check me out. Man in Motion is the second studio album by American musician Warren Haynes. The album was released on May 10, 2011, by Concord Music Group.[1] The album has sold 80,000 copies in the US as of June 2015. Man in Motion received generally positive reviews from music critics. David Fricke of Rolling Stone said, "Before he became an Allman Brother and started Gov't Mule, this power-blues singer-guitarist was a Nashville cat, playing and writing country-soul music. Man in Motion is a swing back to that hardy romanticism, with more Memphis in the mix and a plaintive poise in Haynes' vocals and solos."[5] Matt Edsall of PopMatters stated, "As the title states, Man In Motion showcases a veteran songwriter and legendary guitarist moving in new directions and expanding his already notable career. Don’t worry, though, Deadheads and Mule fanatics. You’ll still get your fill of badass guitar work." It's ALL of that and more... Start lookin!

FINALLY a bit of spare time today! Been cookin allllllll afternoon today. Full Range is buyin cars and I'm buying tunes. Sounds about right to me! Number 3566 of 10k for Record Store Day a couple weeks ago and happy to get it. 2003 re-release and worth every penny! 26 stops on the 2003 tour and what a tour it was. Factor in a lil Warren Haynes, Oteil Burbridge on bass, Gregg on the B-3, Derek on slide and lead with Uncle Butch on the kit. The mushrooms were a poppin. Speaking of mushrooms... ...Well never mind! It's a double thumbs up cause it just doesn't stop! Triple 3-lp's of nothing but goodness! Better jump before they're gone if you haven't already! It's ALL there! Nummy!

His new car is just delivered home

That stinkin horse was NO WHERE to be found out there when I was there! I've just about had it w/that song. I mean a horse w/no name??? Come on man! Look! You see a stnkin horse down there??? I ALWAYS knew it was a lie just to help sales. NO DURN HORSE!

What a page #241 is. A little spooky music, Chris & Ellie are really good together. That video made of Jattendrai Swing 1939 is good for any era! Good record @billybob Where is that confounded horse?

@JohnJ...might want to re tie your horse. Band from Texas! Full album:

Nice! We had this in town yesterday... They have five or six touring the country.

I love all the chording on the guitar for this...

Goodnight from Chicago Danish Babe Liv Lykke Danish Speaker salesman has her on his demo at AXPONA

Warren has turned into one of my faves the last couple of years, Allmans - since I was about 14! . Only got the digital now I'll share another over there.

Time to dig into this stack of new stuff and see what's shakin. Kinda maybe.

The DJs at work tonight!

Need some help? NO problemo! I'm such a tease! 😂 Now jump!

The company Lorrie's son works for said it was o.k. to take one of the company jets for a spin. Nothing like playing with an $8,000,000 plane !! (avg. $5,400,000 used) 1. Looking over the Ohio River 2. Lorrie and I 3. May Lee (Daughter-in-law) with Case at the controls.

Feel free to join me, the garden is ready so far, the pool is just being filled with fresh water. The last 5 days I was in our garden 12 hours a day doing spring cleaning. I'm all done ..........These pics show the lower level in the garden Our little outdoor pavillion , in front is a goldfish pond The grass carp pond The pool

Glad you like it @MicroMara they were on the fm a lot way back then. One of the better vocal and harmonizing groups of the early 70s, and there were more of them then that could sing well!

@billybob I'll tie that horse down if I find him, tornado watch here until early tonight. Been through Bloodrock 1 and 3, 2 will start soon. Must have heard DOA on our rock station back then `cause if I had heard Melvin? I would have bought the LP!

in more general terms... they are just different. I do think that 'Physically' unaligned three ways have an audible smear to the signal, but it's not enough smearing in the Klipschorn (the biggest three way misalignment in the klipsch heritage line) to dissuade me from owning them or most certainly loving to listen to them, they are wonderful. I think that most folks would not even be able to hear the difference or even care. The two way just seem more cohesive and focused in relation to the three way... but it also suffers slightly from 'roll off' in the HF. That might be a good thing for sibilance is not a character in sound I enjoy. I have been toying with the idea of adding a super tweeter with a wood lens to the Jubilee and make it three way, but I have not firmed up that implementation as yet nor will I implement it until I am certain I can not live with the speaker as solely as a two way. so there is always a trade off...

Possible posted it here, but more likely an earlier Youtube thread. Or both...(doa) Sancho Panza (RIP) created it and I tried to keep it going. I have posted band and songs mostly from Bloodrock 3. A heck of an album! @Bubo

Bing Crosby recorded it in 1937 and tons of folks have done ever since. I remember hearing this on tv in the '60s

Sounds like the Django Reinhardt recordings same era music?

Everything else being equal, three way speakers often have less modulation (Doppler) distortion than two way. Doppler distortion; an excerpt from Stereophile … “The results were intriguing. Distortion of the flute was gross at 10mm peak diaphragm displacement and not in the least bit euphonic. On the contrary, Doppler made the sound as harsh as you might expect of a distortion mechanism that introduces intermodulation products. music signals are less revealing of Doppler distortion than this special brew. But these findings undermine the view, widely accepted in the last two decades, that Doppler distortion in loudspeakers is not something we should trouble about. Having done the listening, I side with Moir and Klipsch more than with Fryer, Allison, and Villchur on this issue—something that may come as no surprise to anyone who has heard the effects of low-level jitter and sees where the Fryer criterion appears in fig.2. . It has often been claimed that, with a two-way speaker, there are audible benefits to using a crossover frequency below the typical 3kHz, the usual explanation being that this removes the crossover from the ear's area of greatest sensitivity. But I wonder. Perhaps this not-uncommon experience Everyone who uses a two-way speaker (me included) can take heart from the fact that most actually has much more to do with the D word. A three-way solution is potentially even better. Three-way speakers bring new design challenges, of course, in particular the need to achieve another perceptually seamless handover between drivers. But from the Doppler perspective, having a crossover for the bass driver at 400Hz or 500Hz is, unquestionably, better (https://www.stereophile.com/content/red-shift-doppler-distortion-loudspeakers-page-3)”

With respect to Klipsch speakers in particular, it's not simply that a speaker is 2-way or 3-way. In my opinion what sets Heritage and the other 3-way Klipsch (like the 3-way Legend series and the Palladium series) apart from the 2-way Klipsch consumer lines is that more of the frequency range is covered by horn-loaded drivers. In the Klipsch consumer lines of speakers, most of the 2-way speakers hand off from horns to cones in the range of 1200 Hz to as high as 2500 Hz. In contrast, the consumer line 3-way speakers (that are not fully horn-loaded) transition from horns to cones in a range of like 500 Hz to 850 Hz. This means that the consumer 3-way and fully horn-loaded speakers will have less distortion and better coverage control in the critical lower and middle region of the mid-range frequencies where the bulk of the musical and vocal action is. To my ears the 3-way Klipsch consumer speakers and the fully-horn-loaded ones (whether 3-way or 2-way like the Jubilee) sound more effortless, cleaner, less veiled, and more accurate in the mid-range. I call it the Klipsch "mid-range magic". So, over the years my serious listening systems have been made up of either Heritage series, the Forte family, 3-way Legend series, or Palladium series speakers.

😂😂😂😂

Cool tune! & I heard it long ago...

Don't recall posting it, happening more frequently

Hey @Bubo did you post this at halloween a time or two? Seen it before here and it was serious serious déjà vu the first time!

I will be brief. I have heard both the CW3 and CW4 in a dealer's space in Chicago, side by side, same sources, same amps, same music. The CW4 was head and shoulders above the CW3 in width and depth of soundstage, much smoother and balanced in all aspects of HF, Mid and LF. Not sure what else to say, but then based on your previous posts in this thread, you probably won't believe me, nor care. And honestly, I moved away from Cornwalls years ago and have had La Scalas/Khorns/KPT-904s /Heresy 4s since then. And you can't think of any advances in audio engineering in the last 17 years, really?

Bloodrock:

VERY nice place you have there George. Who is the character eating the apple with the cane held up high?

I think they have around six of them in service, traveling the country.

...and these pics show the upper levels

I really really love this tune , not kidding

Those are the same ones they ran around fifty years ago! Good/BETTER engineering back in the 70s just like the music

Okay, I currently own a Benchmark, a First Watt F3 (Class A of course) Hypex nCore nc400 monoblocks and some other stragglers. According to AudioScience “statistically” speaking the nCores and Benchmark provide the lowest distortion ratings tested. To say either of these ratings highlights or exaggerates any perceived brightness or “sheen” in my Klipsch speakers - they do not. They both provide a blacker background than the F3, barely. I have owned other First Watt and Pass Labs amps which fall the same. For reference my current Klipsch in house are Jubes, LS, H3 and 396. I have owned numerous, and still have single ended monoblocks, tube amps and without question all the above SS amps provide a quieter and far blacker background than tubes. For this reason I rarely run tubes although when I do they sound great. For my ears quality solid state provide the immediate, live sound Klipsch horns offers.

I didn't realize they were still running the Wiener Wagons. Cool. Do they give out the wiener whistles, too? I was reflecting on some of the concerts I've been to.Tommy Lee in a silver g-string was something I could have done without... At Diamond Dogs, I felt so out of place that I hung out with the cops and looked on the glitter kids. they DRESSED for the event.

A song as mainly spoken word - so a little different to the norm Enjoy Roxy Music

Good music in my mind but to compare him to JIMI Hendrix? "They" had and DID good dope! over&out

where's Steve when you need him

When I do get my $%)* together the cd drawers will be a little more full. Now this has some of his regulars but the duet with Bonnie Raitt and the $3 tag drew me to it. BB and a good sour to round out the night. sorry for the vid, best I could fine within a min. * geeze the man has so many vids up it's impossible!

I don't know how I came to understand it was some sort of an unofficial unveiling for a small audience - I'd have to go back through old threads to figure it out. Maybe we're not talking about the same event. But it doesn't really matter. To me, the fact remains that audible differences b/w generations of speakers - in my personal experience - have always ended up being much smaller than proclaimed by the mfg. In in the present case, they were designed by the same person. And I'd still like to know what leaps in audio engineering have taken place since 2005.

okay okay Dave , found a solution. This is my Spaceshuttle Bus and I´ll be the captain 😂

To me, today’s “open concept” family room - kitchen - dining room is an acoustic nightmare. I enjoy music in the background, but given the acoustics, I knew I could not have ultimate fidelity in this area. So I started looking for a [relatively] inexpensive integrated for the family room. After perusing the usual suspects, I came across this forlorn Separo SE-300I integrated with lots of tubes and a flashy gold front end. Since I never heard of it, I did my research and discovered its had a interesting back story but only about two reviews in its short life. One was unfavorable and the other gushed. After reading the specs, my hunch was it would be closer to the gush. What sold me was it weighs 65 pounds! Its all transformers! So for the munificent sum of $649 including shipping from the west coast (!), the family room now sports 10 watts of class A power. With the no name tubes, it sounds terrific. Depth, soundstage, midrange; its quite lovely. Even the 300Bs glow blue. I had to reinforce the table it rests on because it weights every bit of 65 pounds. Now that I know it works very well, I’ll roll the good stuff in. Even a blind pig…

This one´s on my buy list as well. I´d forgotten the name of the group. Recycling this thread brought me back to it.
