| Sub Decision Very few have heard the two most unique subs currently available: 1- The GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Servo-Feedback Subwoofer, the only one of it's kind in existence, now or in the past. 2- For frequencies below 20Hz at at 120dB, there is only... | |
| The price of used LP's. @whart: Yeah Bill, the hardest-to-find titles in my wants list will most likely never be found locally, but hope springs eternal. What I find locally are albums I either somehow missed (the John Simon), or common titles that I wasn't interested in... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! I have one album I like so much I have it on three different LP pressings: Born Under A Bad Sign by Albert King (if you like Stevie Ray Vaughan, you NEED this album). An original on Stax Records, the first reissue on Sundazed, and the new reissue ... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Another point to be made is that in the comparison between an original pressing and a reissue, there may not be a clear winner: the original may better the reissue in some regards, the reissue the original in others. Another reason to characterize... | |
| Yeah, I'm aware of what day it is C’mon man, lay off ;-) . At least I didn't delete it. | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! @flasd: Uh, the quip about smoking LSD is what’s called a joke. The joke’s on me; I didn’t anticipate anyone not having heard it before, or of not getting it now (I am guilty of giving people too much credit). I first heard it out of the mouth of ... | |
| The price of used LP's. @edcyn: Put your covers in clear plastic outer sleeves; makes ’em look much more valuable ;-) . A guy in Canada is making some great ones (company name Vinyl Storage Solutions), featuring his patented "Double Pocket" (available in both 2mil and 4m... | |
| The price of used LP's. I also brought home one of John Simon's two albums, Journey (Warner Brothers). John is best known for producing the first two albums of The Band, but he also did the debut albums of Leonard Cohen and The Electric Flag (the only one Al Kooper as le... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? OMG, they got me! Still, it wouldn't surprise me. ;-) | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Want to see what one hi-fi retailer thinks it can get you to spend money on? I am NOT making this up, the following were pictured in today’s email from The Music Room: - Roller Hero Tubility Belt, a leather (looking, at least) utility belt that h... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Here’s a "timely" occurrence ;-) : I returned home from my drive into Portland yesterday with a couple of LP’s containing music made by some of the names mentioned above: - Robben Ford: The Inside Story (Elektra Records), produced by Steve Cropp... | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm One more observation: JGH was particularly bothered by and critical of a particular type of coloration, one very common amongst loudspeakers. He even came up with a term for it: "Vowel coloration." He defined and explained the term in one early-7... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @jpwarren58: Tony Rice was Art Dudley’s favorite acoustic guitarist. I’ve been finding some of Tony’s Rounder Records LP’s lately in local shops, including his s/t debut on the label (cat. no. 0085), The Tony Rice Unit (0150), the Unit’s Backwater... | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm Oh yeah, I forgot some of JGH's other analogies about transparency: In addition to the term "veiling" (thanks for the reminder emrofsemanon!), he likened lack of transparency to a layer of "scrim" (must be a term from before my time, but I get it... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. @mike_in_nc: In fact, the exact opposite may be true. Why add the commonly-admitted limitations of tube amp output transformers to the signal if not necessary? Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio offers his subs with plate amps that include provisions fo... |
