more to the point - "more bass"

 

[MCF]

I don't think I'd do that. I'd want to experience the Carbine in all its glory.

Yes!

 

[MCF]

I still subscribe to that.

Cerruty was the guru. Herb Elliot was his pupil. I actually had the opportunity to meet Cerutty when he was on a US speaking tour. Must have been ‘74. I remember his talk fondly. Even with the sometimes difficult to understand Aussie accent.

"Thunder Over Louisville" (opening Derby event). I never go, but it's cool to see various aircraft flying around. (Pic from WDRB)

Interesting contrast in times.

I know you didn't ask me, but I thought the latest Dune movie was excellent.

As someone said earlier in the forum, this place is like one big family sitting around the dinner table. If someone asks a question everyone is free to answer, in fact the more the merrier. I did like the remake much more than the original. My only complaint is that they’ve taken too long to release the second part. I’ll need to rewatch the first part all over again before seeing the second part.

You’re always welcome to use my rig.

Don't you have FOH for such a gig? I've got a couple amps/cabs here you could use with your GK preamp...
Just saying, there are ways to get a thing done.

Right on! Love this club!

I had a copy of this on my bedroom wall

I am positive that my father or step-mother had this receiver in the house at some time in the, maybe late ‘70’s? I think they may have foolishly replaced it with a new unit that had more bells and whistles but was probably more solid-state, and not nearly as good sounding, but audiophiles they were not and I would have been too young to have known how cool it actually was.

Same here. I know we had some Marantz stereo gear. I can definitely remember the turntable. I think amp and/or preamp as well. And JBL speakers. My parents had crap taste in music, but my Kiss records sounded great.

Accent? What accent ?

 

[BklynKen]

I periodically bring this up, but it never gets old. Great song, and amazing bass playing by Paul Turner.

.......... @KaraQ needs to join in, she’s a big Sci-Fi fan also.

That's true!





......but for some reason, I never really got much into any of Frank Herbert's stuff, unfortunately




Maybe I should add some of his books to my audible library......

more this shtick?

 

[dagrev]

I’ll see if we have any. & remember, you asked for it.

It won't hurt. I've fried the brain cells it would bother.

 

[dagrev]

I believe him. Who would admit to something like that unless they really did lt?

Good point.

Jerry was right. No denying that very few, if any, Motown, Muscle Sholes or Stax recordings the bass was not present and heard. I'm sure some exist, but I can't recall one.

 

[Gaolee]

Can I borrow yours? If we play the Queens Night Market again this year, I'll want my 410. Maybe I can get away with the B-15. But my GK MB150/112 combo was just too underpowered for that.

No problem. I will drop it in the mail right away.

IMO, they recorded the bass really strong 'cos they knew most people would hear the music through a crappy little radidio and at least they'd hear the octave harmonic.
Or not.

Yup, late 70's, those were probably the most common receivers they made @ 70 WRMS/channel, both driven continuously, called a 2270, very nice sounding receivers. some of those late 70's Marantz's were insane during the 'power race'. They switched from cars during the 60's to receivers during the 70's. I have a late 70's 2385 that's rated for 185/240 WRMS @8/4 ohms per channel both driven continuous with 0.05 distortion. It weighs almost 60 lbs, beautiful receiver though, I bought it when they were still fairly cheap, I think I paid something like 800 bucks for mine 25 years ago and they also made them ever bigger, up to 300/400 watts.

ACC 360 stacks are wonderful outside.

I suspect most of the old Big Rigs were targeted more at outdoor venues.

I worked in a “PA and Hi Fi” store. We sold a lot of Marantz gear. I could never afford it, but it loved it.
