Hate to open up a can of worms, but what kind of stereo hi-fi unit would you wish magically washed up on shore (including a safe self perpetuating power supply to ensure-you dont have to detail that, I wouldn't even know) Tube (KT88? 6L6? EL34? 6BM8?) or solid state (Too many part numbers to reference)? (Are any of you making DIY preamp designs for home stereo-I'd love to hear opinions) Speakers? Crossover? Control?

I'm planning to build a solid state hifi-preamp at the moment. The whole thing is from ESP (great stuff there!).
Finally it will look like this: RIAA-network with switchable Rumblefilter at its end - then the actual preamp useing OPA2134's (the RIAA uses them, too) and of course the transformer will not be inside of the chassis :wink: .
Niftayyy! Are there schematics you'd like to share?

Johan brings up a point....
A few years ago I had to pretty much move to NYC for six months while I was recording a record down there. I ended up taking a huge 3-ring binder full of CDs...a couple hundred of them at least, just in case I NEEDED to hear that Jack Drag CD, or that ELO song....
Later that year, I saw this amazing invention called the IPOD. My whole life changed. I'm not a tech-nerd-gadget-master, but I really liked the concept of random access to that many songs in a small package like that. It was like the greatest radio station ever!
Roger
Interesting nominations so far.
certainly one of either "Electric Ladyland" or "Axis: Bold as Love"
certainly "Revolver", although given that it *would* be a desert island maybe and only 10 albums, maybe the White Album is a smarter move
certainly an album by a "breathy" female singer. It could be "Heart Food" by Judee Sill (an absoilute masterpiece for its time and well worth seeking out), maybe "Gonna Take a Miracle" by Laura Nyro, and maybe a Jane Siberry album like "When I was a Boy".
probably some sort of Procol Harum compilation or maybe just the first album
some sort of Mothers of Invention album, likely either "Absolutely Free" or "Uncle Meat"
a best-of from somebody on Chess: could be Muddy, could be Sonny Boy, could be Howlin Wolf.
a Pharoah Saunders album of some type with Leon what's his name, the "yodeller"
Something/Anything by Todd Rundgren is also a good suggestion, although a remastered version of "Initiation" or the Live album would be nice (both of these have so much music packed onto them that the bass is absilutely disembowelled). Aw heck, let me just pick 10 cuts form his discography and be done with it.
a Tuck Andress compilation *would* be nice, either with or without Patti.
possibly "Holland" by the Beach Boys, although only a couple of cuts would need to be playable; here again, a 10 or 12-pack of Brian and Carl Wilson's best work ever would be nice.
10 copies of some complete Led Zeppelin box set thing, so I could fashion a makeshift boat out of the packaging and sail away from South Palm Tree and a CD Player Island.

Ah.... I'm so glad someone said Laura Nyro.
I agree on the "best of" Carl and Brian Wilson. It's hard to pick a whole LP.

A few cheats here (by selecting "best of"s)
1. Are you experienced (best of) by Jimi Hendrix
2. Give out but don't give up by Primal Scream
3. Live at the Regal by BB King
4. Some kinda blue by Miles Davis
5. Living by John Butler Trio (coming soon to the USA 8) )
6. Best of Janis Joplin
7. The cream of Eric Clapton (best of)
8. Meddle by Pink Floyd
9. London sessions by Howling Wolf
10. Paint the sky with stars (best of) by Enya
Something by Cat Stevens was highly desired, but missed out.
In no particular order......
Jellyfish- Spilt Milk

Swag- Catch All
Jellyfish- Bellybutton
Scott Henderson- Dog Party
Eric Gales- That's What I Am
Aquarium Rescue Unit- In A Perfect World

4 forever chenges---LOVE
5 the kink kontroversy---the kinks
6 electric warior--- Trex
7 the madcap laughs---syd barrett
8 self titled---pleasure forever
9 black sabbath---black sabbath
10 S.F. SORROW---THE PRETTY THINGS
:D If I could choose I would take some good guality guitar lesson/backing track cd s and learn to play with these.
On a desert island maybe some cd containing "Friday On My Mind" might be nice :lol:
And maybe Remu & Hurriganes "Roadrunner" cd
i get a kick out of thinking about records in these terms...really cuts the wheat from the chaff. also makes it hard to get the last 2 or 3...i'll start with...
1. forever changes, love
2. easter everywhere, the 13th floor elevators
3. loveless, my bloody valentine
4. pink moon, nick drake
5. what's going on, marvin gaye
6. flying high, gene clark
7. yankee hotel foxtrot, wilco
8. oar, skip spence
9. third reich and roll, the residents
10. scott 4, scott walker
there's not enough room for them, but there should be....sgt pepper, pet sounds, between the buttons, are you experienced, the kids are alright comp, some hank williams, slowdive, flaming lips,
so many others, such a small island.
10 CD's by Yanni......that way, I'd spend every breathing minute starting signal fires and building rafts to get rescued from that horrible noise!
I've said this many times before. As far as the Beatles go, I've always thought that the White Album was their Sgt Pepper.
QuoteOn a desert island maybe some cd containing "Friday On My Mind" might be nice
(by the Easybeats)
Nice pick! Maybe Stevie Wright's Evie (parts 1, 2 and 3) too!!
The theme of hating work and wanting to get away in "Friday on my mind" would be re-assuring when lost on an island. So maybe "Dock of the bay" would have to be in there, too. "Message in a bottle" (Police) has that castaway theme... any others?
Gahhhh!!! I forgot Stevie Wright's "Hard Road" album. Can I have do-overs?
Good call Brett.
10 CDs by Yanni... Best answer yet Fret Wire! We should give out prizes for this stuff. You are a true survivor. The rest of us would starve to death on that eroding dirt clod.
Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East (how could any self-respecting guitar player leave this one off?)
Hendrix - Are you Experienced
SRV - Couldn't Stand the Weather
Robben Ford - Handful of Blues
Clapton - From the Cradle
Led Zeppelin - II
BB- Live at The Regal
Dave Matthews - Under the Table
Phish - Hampton Comes Alive (I hope that doesn't count as 6)
Susan Tedeschi - Wait for Me
Boy that was tough!
Humm.... my today's :wink: list is:
King Crimson: Lark's tongues in aspic
King Crimson: Lizard
Love: Forever Changes
Beatles: White
Genesis: Selling England by the pound
Neil Young: Decade
Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic
Sylvian-Fripp: Damage
Pink Floyd: The wall
Marillion: Misplaced Childhood
But, considering today's technology I'll take a good mp3 player and 10 CD-Rs with:
all Beatles
all King Crimson
all Neil Young (no.. it won't fit in a single CD)
all Steely Dan
all Pink Floyd
all "fish" Marillion
all "Gabriel" Genesis
all Smiths
and
Love: Forever Changes
Sylvian-Fripp: Damage
:P
Apart from no greatest hits as a rule i think saying Lep Zep 1/2/3/4 is also a cop out (IMHO) I think part of the challenge is saying I will chose to take Led Zep 2 over Led Zep 4 etc...
My top 10 for the moment are...
1. Jeff Buckley Grace
2. Miles Davis Kind of Blue
3. Dirty 3 horse Stories
4. Guns and Roses Apetite for Destruction
5. Nirvana In Utero
6. Jeff Lang Everything is still
7. Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon
8. Radio Head OK computer
9. Rolling Stones Let it Bleed
10. The Who Tommy
I thought about including
1. NiN The Fragile
2. Lucinda Williams Essence
3. Smashing Pumpkins Siamesse Dream
4. RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magic
And if they had recorded all their best songs on one album i'd take...
1. Rage Against the Machine
2. Queen
3. Led Zepplin
4. Robert Johnson
5. Jimi Hendrix
6. P.J Harvey
7. Nick Cave
8. Bjork
1. Ten Years After-A Space In Time
2. April Wine-Electric Jewels
3. Rush-Fly By Night
4. Led Zepellin II
5. Neil Young-Decade
6. J. Geils Band-Live Full House
7. Lynyrd Skynrd-Second Helping(sp)
8. Humble Pie-Smokin'
9. Best Of Tom Petty
10.Best Of George Thorogood
Peace!
