| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Now THERE is a ridiculous statement! Ignorance is bliss. Dear readers, fellow audiophiles and music lovers, I invite you to compare the tone, attitude, and most of all information offered in the above post by devinplombier to that of Danny Ric... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @chuck: Your question of "does Danny measure these speakers in an anechoic chamber?" suggests that you have not actually watched many of his videos. If you had, you would know the answer to that question. You make an argument against Danny by ... | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. @wyoboy: My pleasure! Though I am the oldest sibling, my two younger sisters are slowing becoming---how shall I put it? Mentally challenged. Music is my escape from the grim reality of our brief lifespans in these bodies we inhabit. Watching in... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? For those who are truly interested, here is Danny Richie’s response to Andrew Robinson’s video regarding crossovers. The clips from Robinson’s related videos simply reveal that he (and his off-camera wife/girlfriend) is not a serious audiophile... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? The link @ned1000 posted above is the second video of a 2-part series Danny Richie made on the pair of Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy Series 8 loudspeakers a customer sent him. Here’s part 1: https://youtu.be/Tma9jFZ3-3k?si=nJTc2qlLVhmK3WVR A... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? A good number of hardcore Maggie owners tear into the crossovers that Magnepan installs in their speakers, especially the guys who frequent the Planar Speaker Asylum. One easy mod is to replace the stock binding posts with ones from Cardas; th... | |

| Band/artist documentaries. Here's a short (just over thirty minutes) video about Richard Manuel, the pianist/singer/drummer of The Band: https://youtu.be/7r2w5ioGgqE?si=s7LUHImyLPSiBQQi | |
| Subjective vs. objective? Or subjective and objective? And here's part 2, in which digital, cables, bottle-necking, and value for money are discussed: https://youtu.be/uNNl5lSJezY?si=iCeCWC5RTtvwx3ke | |
| For the fans of Americana music who don't frequent YouTube..... @pdreher: In addition to the solo instrumental CD Larry talks about in the video, he and his wife/musical partner Teresa Williams have two mighty fine albums on Red House Records. | |
| New In 2025 @hifiguy42: BDP = Black Diamond Pearl (my favorite vintage drum finish, and the one I collect), and 24 = 24 inches (my preferred bass drum diameter). | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Posted yesterday on YouTube, a nice little video the subject of which is one of Americana music’s two MVP’s: Larry Campbell (the other is Buddy Miller). Here tis: https://youtu.be/29SPfLhJYaI?si=s6KzwVWggTakINCD | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. @roadcykler: Wow, your reaction to the music in the two videos I posted is to categorize it as "audio show type music"? I don't find it to be so, but one man's poison..... I love AC/DC, Weezer, and other Rock bands, and have no problem with... | |
