| American Made Audio Products "magneplaner" doesn’t make it’s own drivers. Magnepan does though, for its Magneplanar loudspeakers. If one wishes to give a U.S.A. company props, getting the company and product name correct, spelling them correctly, and using an upper case lette... | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker Not "just" flatter frequency response (so that’s now a bad thing? ;-), but also improved spectral decay (aka waterfall plot) response, phase coherency between drivers, lower baffle panel and enclosure resonance (Linkwitz specified un-braced .75" M... | |
| Music that swings @rvpiano: Yes! I view Baroque in Classical music sort of like Bluegrass in Pop. | |
| Are Music Reference amps still available new? @clio09: Will you be offering RM-10 MkII-to-MkIII conversions to current MkII owners? | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Damn @jafant, 60 years! I was a little too young to like (or even know about) Dylan in '62, not learning of him 'til on the radio hearing "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", and then not being able to relate to it at all. That song was of course on th... | |
| I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers A VTPH-2A appeared on USAM a day or two ago at a price of $2900, and sold in a matter of hours. Guess whose it was? Hint: his location was listed as a city in northern Washington State. ;-) | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions What, no love for Tekton? ;-) | |
| What is Tight Bass? Tight bass is very simply: when the signal stops, so does the woofer (in fact, the entire loudspeaker). To not "stop on a dime" is to produce "overhang". In the world of loudspeaker design, there is the concept of "critically" damped woofers, as w... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? The term "ribbon" is commonly misused. The Infinity EMIM and EMIT drivers are not ribbon drivers; as noted above "EMI" denotes Electro Magnetic Induction, the "M" and "T" midrange and tweeter respectively. Magnepan’s are often referred to as ribb... | |
| New In 2022 Joan Osborne: Radio Waves, a collection of live performances done at radio stations. Do a search on YouTube for her and her band's smokin' hot version of "Shake Your Hips". Incendiary! | |
| Thorens, TD-125 MKII The Thorens TD-125 had been in production for several years before the Sondek hit the market. I bought a Mk.2 version in '73, don't know how it differed from the original ("Mk.1"), but it never worked right. I replaced it with a TD-150, basically ... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Though I haven’t been posting my recent old LP acquisitions, I’ve been buying more than ever. Here are some from the past couple of weeks: - The Bodeans: s/t debut, produced by T Bone Burnett (Slash Records). $4.00. - Bonnie Bramlett: Memorie... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Did I (or anyone else) already nominate Blue Cheer? To my taste about as bad as it gets. Zero sense of taste, economy, and/or musicality. | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic This is my first viewing of the thread. I first heard the Transtatic I in 1971, and wanted a pair badly. Unfortunately, I was a starving musician (not literally ;-), so had to settle for a pair of Infinity 1001’s (the 2000A’s little brother). I al... | |
| Guys talking about a Led Balloon Compare the Yardbirds albums with Jeff Beck on guitar with the one with Page on guitar (Little Games, their last). Guess which stinks? |
