| Infinity EMIT Speaker Repair Some RS-1b owners (of which I at one time was) buy spare sets of speakers fitted with the EMIT and EMIM drivers, to have as spares/replacements. Loose drivers occasionally pop up on ebay, but they're not cheap: A single EMIT and EMIM pairing sold ... | |
| Why not more popular? Yes @jaytor, I neglected to mention Danny has developed his own version of the NEO3, has it made to his specs, and is using it in some of his models, including yours. And thanks for reminding me of that company name---Serenity Acoustics.There are ... | |
| Why not more popular? Oh, and by the way:The Magnepan "Concept" loudspeaker---the 30.7 For Condos---is basically not that different from Danny’s NEO Line Source/OB Sub design.The Magnepan Concept has a smaller version of the 30.7’s midrange/tweeter panel, with an OB/Di... | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw: "Chestnut Mare" is fantastic! I didn't like the Byrds double album Untitled it was included on (it's the only song I love, though the guitar playing of Clarence White is wonderful throughout. Unfortunately, Gene Parsons is a terrible drumme... | |
| Why not more popular? For those not bored enough already ;-) :Danny Richie was offering a very high-performance full-range OB loudspeaker when Bohlender Graebener was still making their fantastic NEO3, 8, and 10 magnetic-planar drivers. He used the Model 3 and 8 in a l... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Interesting question, @ledoux1238. If I didn't already have the Sound Anchor stands and like them as much as I do, the Townshend Podium option would be worth considering. I'm sure the lead shot-filled Sound Anchors stands are at least as non-reson... | |
| Guitar Solos Ry Cooder's little solo on John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset". I am fortunate enough to have heard him perform it live (as a member of Little Village, same lineup as on the recording: John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Kim Keltner), and though I have s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks @big_greg. I learned of Hi-Voltage (correct spelling ;-) from Vinyl Community member Mazzy (Norman Maslov), who after being born and living in San Francisco since 1954 moved to Seattle six years ago. Property values are so high in SF that w... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @mammothguy: Bop Til You Drop was the first Pop album recorded digitally. Ry is a fanatic about his recorded sound, and was gung ho on trying the new recording medium. That enthusiasm was extinguished when he heard the recorded results: He hated i... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? - Bohlender Graebener NEO3 planar-magnetic- Magnepan Ribbon- RTR ESL.- Stax ESL- Hell, any ESL (except perhaps Martin Logan) | |
| Why not more popular? @jaytor, there are a few factors which pretty much answer both the major and minor questions in your post. Because I find this subject so interesting, I shall endeavor to remember to get to them all while also getting "into the weeds", as they say... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Not even close Steve! You guys are costing me a lotta dough ;-). I had to go buy three more Ikea EKET cabinets to house all the LP's you guys talked me into buying. I'm loving that there is so much good new music being made (a lot of my old friend... | |
| need new classical vinyl/LP Analogue Productions bought the Classic Recordings label catalog, originally available on LP in the 1990's and early-mid 2000's. That catalog includes a huge number of the legendary "golden age" RCA recordings, pressed on superior vinyl by AP at t... | |
| New In 2021 Actually @slaw, I believe it is John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band ;-) . I give top billing to the singer/songwriter, whom on this album I am sure is John.I saw The Jerry Douglas Band at the tail-end of 2019, at a nice theater in Portland. I p... | |
| Strange looking vinyl A sealed LP is not necessarily factory-sealed. Every Tower Records had a resealing machine in it’s backroom, used to make returned LP’s sellable again.In the 1970’s there was a company (Recoton, iirc) making plastic-lined sleeves. The problem was,... |
