At one time, in the "coastal Carolina's" area...there were 3 different groups using the 'Drifters' name. Much legal action to sort it out. Obviously they were very popular to those of us who dance the Shag to beach music "Grand Strand Style". My brother-in-law was the keyboard player for the...
"On a Bus To St. Cloud"...by Georgia's own Trisha Yearwood from the album "Thinkin' About You".
I have seen her perform this twice and she grabs the audience and doesn't let them go. This was at a 'chatty' outdoor venue at Chastain Park.....but when Trisha sings her sad songs....folks actually...
"Softly as I Leave You". I know.....I am showing my age. Frank defined my dad's generation.....every bit as much as the Beatles defined this young teenagers generation. My dad was a contemporary of Franks and lived two townships over (Wood Ridge) from Hoboken in Bergen County, NJ...above the...
I don't know how old any of you folks are....but I grew up with this music.....The Drifters have a very interesting history.....as at one time in the south there were three groups claiming to be the Drifters....there was Bill Pinckney and the Drifters, there was The Original Drifters and simply...
This music "60 Minute Man" and 1000 others are still played in the "shag" clubs in the South to this very day. It is considered "Beach Music" in the south....not to be confused with the great beach sound of the '60's from california.
I will simply say this before I exit. I think there are biases in audio as in everything else. I think our whole country suffers from expectation or what some call normalcy bias."It's always been this way when I awake each day and I expect it to be this way tomorrow/forever. That being said, I...
I can here a difference. Maybe you or Amir can not. So be it. When testing methods are of a standard and the test equipment is calibrated, you get a result. That result says nothing about what I know I hear.

Hi Dskip:
Mastersound is a great line. I flirted with the line when I was a dealer. I liked it very much. However, as tough as this business of two channel audio is, it is tougher here in Atlanta. 4 of us went out the same year. I had seven tears....the other 3 all had 20+...
You missed the point. They won't be my customers and therefore I will not have to deal with them. This is America. We still get to choose not to do business with people who wish us harm of any kind. So, one takes care of your customers. And you ignore those that wish to stir up trouble. You just...
I have an original (probably a prototype) L7 with volume control. This is the model with the control button on the bottom in the front. The remote I was given stopped working. I need some suggestions from folks who have a similar model. It is the RC-5 program that is used to transact business. I...
I realize that I am late to the party. However, the talk about Shelby Lynn had me thinking that I should share a bit of information. Shelby has a very talented sister name Allison Moorer. More country and torch singer than jazz......but a great voice. They actually sing 3 songs together on...
The DIYin HK card appears to be for PC's only. Have been running my music on a MacPro for 6 years so I will have to seek another avenue. I may be limited by Audirvana at present.
The first 4 level one mods of the Gustard x20u are exceptional. I am a skeptic. However, I know what I hear. The mods make a major positive impact on tone, sound stage and clarity. Still a work in process after only 96 hours of break in. But I am experiencing unexpected changes after the...
Thanks
I have been reading off and on for some time. This forum and Computer Audiophile may be the two best forums going at this time.
I was in the business as a shop owner for 6 years. I took a sabbatical from all things audio for a couple of years after I closed my shop.
Atlanta is a...

I have been buying tubes for audio equipment for over 3 decades. Brent is the most knowledgable fellow I have
ever dealt with. 100% satisfaction every time. If I missed him on the list apologies.
