I am interested. Speakers are the most important part of the chain (other than tone controls ). What kind of speakers ?

I have an old pair of Klipsch Forte 2 speakers that kick major booty, Playstation 3 player supports SACD, DVD, CD, BLUERAY, simple Denon two channel AM/FM receiver (I like the LOUDNESS button ON), and Panasonic 37" Plasma TV. OH YEA and Denon turntable with Denon DL160 MC cartridge.

There are too many bands to list, but some of the records I bought BACK THEN:

Allman Brothers
Pink Floyd
BlackSabbath
Bad Company
Uriah Heep
Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Etc....

Music that I am CURRENTLY listening to in my car and home computor:

Dethklok
Strapping Young Lad, City (Canadian band)
King Crimson
Doors
ZZ Top, Tres Ombres
White Stripes, Live DVD

...

Aah...The good old days of vinyl...When you could buy an album for less than five bucks and knew that at least half the songs on it were pretty good. When engineers actually took their time to make a recording sound just right. When you could make a mix tape and no one accused you of pirating.

**Eodman** · 03-13-2009, 09:03 AM

What about -"My friend Johnnie Walker ... Blackie & Red" George Thorogood

**egneg** · 03-13-2009, 09:24 AM

The BEST thing about disco was that the women really dressed up when they went out to dance!

OOOOOOhh they looked good!

**domwilson** · 03-13-2009, 01:13 PM

Yes they did!!!

**Flying Scotsman** · 03-13-2009, 01:34 PM

Very true...today is another story

Douggie

**domwilson** · 03-13-2009, 02:05 PM

Heck, I remember when you had to dress up just to go to a dept. store....

I think women were more fashionable back then. The only things that hung out were those things that struck interest. No belly's or muffin tops back then. The elastic strength of clothing was not being constantly tested. Piercings were limited to the ears. But back to topic.

Cat Stevens.
Alabama
Kansas
Boston
Janis Joplin
Joanie Mitchell
Joan Baez
ELO
Sam Sham and the Pharoahs

**Doby** · 03-13-2009, 03:09 PM

Wilson, You're alive....

and Douggie, you did say from the 60's and 70's....so Disco would apply.

**domwilson** · 03-13-2009, 04:06 PM

Yep I'm alive.

Just been reading the forum alot lately.

Tone controls are rubbish you are then changing what the sound engineer was trying to achieve and distorting the whole musical picture..Speakers are the voice and mine are
SNELL XA 75 PS. Plus I have a SACD Sony player not impressed . The Rega cd player is way better

**ReddyWatts** · 03-13-2009, 05:37 PM

Disco was alive and well in 1977 due to the movie "Saturday Night Fever", with John Travolta.

BS... I have been down that expensive HI FI road. I have also taken that no tone control route, but my ears like the simple and much overlooked and more affordable Denon stuff.
