yep, Dave, that's where I was. It was a fun experience to see that old place. They had an emmaculate '59 Twin Amp with the brown tolex. I just drooled over...
I don't go along with any of this :"digital is tinney" stuff. Digital is just a distortion free transfer of the natural sound. Comparing an old CD of the...
Marty: Its not digital, but more like two different things: 1) Tape recorders have a tape saturation effect that is kind of but not exactly like tube...
The digital vs analog debate rages on! I go with the idea that our old analog gear that we grew up with made all sorts of changes to the sounds they produced....
Listening to the Colorful CD in my car recently, I'm sure I'm hearing overdubs of some of the lead parts. What I mean is, I hear the melody line and then a...
Un-named artists and industry folks. It is a guarded secret. ... Excuse my ignorance but who actually 'votes' the Ventures into the RRHOF? John --- In...
I think that's the bottom line, Greg. We grew up with the falabilities of the analog era and thats what we want to hear. I personally hated hiss, surface noise...
Kanad, As Greg M. mentioned, we grew up with these problems of analog recording, two of which you mention, and that is what we're accustomed to hearing. But I...
Poor Dave Clark; even Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick bothers to relate a story with Paul (I think it was) putting-down his playing. Still, I loved the way they...
We were all so anxious to get the Ventures on the ballot for the RRHOF for so many years and angry each year when it didn't happen. BUT now that I look at it,...
Say what anyone wants, but by every meaningful measure, the DC5 goes down as one of the top British Invasion bands, and has definitely earned a spot on the...

Alrighty then! I received the Mosrite Ventures Model Echo today. It is in beautiful condition and has a unique sound. I just recorded some samples that you can...
ps, the occasional distortions are from the overdriven recording volume. -MT ... From: Marty Tippens To: undergroundfire2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October...
Its funny that when c.d.'s came out that the industry was raving about it and we all bought our favourite albums on c.d. format. I must admit that to my ears...
-Hey Marty, That's great news you got it! I couldn't find the sound samples on the link provided, but while I was there, I googled Mosrite echo and found a...

Hello Don, According to the latest hi-fi articles I have been reading they claim that analog is best. I think they only re-recorded the old stuff on the V Gold...
