| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? In the 80’s it was about five nights a week, the 90’s down to three (both while living in L.A.). In the 2000’s once or twice a week, these days once or twice a month. But I wouldn't call them concerts, all being in small clubs, which I much pre... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? As have many others, I would say people’s listening rooms. Not many of us can do anything about it’s dimensions, which is a damn shame. I’d love to have a bigger one (room, that is ). And while not wishing to be judgmental, I see many systems ... | |
| MoFi lawsuit @winoguy17: The last time I contacted MoFi (before I received my refund and credit), they explained that they were processing requests in alphabetical order (I assumed it would be chronologically). The first letter of my last last name is in th... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @tomic601: Damn Jim, where'd ya see Iris with accompaniment? A bassist and guitarist? All four times I've seen her she was solo, which was fine with me. I've seen Joan Osborne with just her pianist and guitarist, and with her I missed a rhythm ... | |
| Location of compoments. Yep @yoyoyaya, Townshend was playing a 6-sting Rickenbacker in ’68, but I seem to recall him taking it of for the last song, smashing a cheaper guitar instead. He rammed the headstock into the speaker cabinet, which if memory serves me was a Hi... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Brian Ding---designer/owner of Rythmik Audio---recommends low level hookups over high level, but offers a couple of plate amps which include high level binding posts for those who want it. I know the argument regarding feeding your main speake... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I heard my first ’high end" loudspeakers in 1971. One was the Infinity Servo-Static, the other the ESS Transtatic. Both had woofers that reproduced pretty low bass, the Infinity by virtue of a single servo-feedback 18" woofer, the ESS a KEF B13... | |
| Location of compoments. @yoyoyaya: Townshend played a Tele in the 60's? That I did not know. I saw The Who in '68 and '69 (fantastic!), and neither time was he playing a Tele. In '68 he was still smashing his guitar to end the set, and there is no way to break a Fende... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection @jafant: I find the post-’66 period very interesting myself. While in 1967 the Rock world was turning to psychedelia, long instrumental jams, and non-U.S.A. instruments and music forms (I consider the introduction of the sitar into Rock ’n’ Rol... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ezwind: You’re looking in the wrong places. Right here on Audiogon posters such as @slaw are making recommendations of great youg(er) artists. Steve has excellent musical taste, and really keeps up with new ones. I myself can heartily recomme... | |
| Location of compoments. @whart: We’re suppose to listen to your opinion on hi-fi sound when you have a Marshall amp rather than a Fender? Just kidding, unless you have a Charvel guitar plugged into your amp. A Les Paul is marginal, but since I love AC/DC I guess I hav... | |
| New In 2025 @winoguy17: Speaking for myself (and perhaps others), new release notices are made for purely musical interest value. Good sound is a welcome bonus, not a prerequisite. Some of my favorite music was unfortunately recorded in mediocre sound qual... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out I think a lot of new Magnepan owners owners find themselves surprised by that company’s speakers’ need for very high power at low impedances. I bought my first pair of Maggies---the original Tympani T-I---in 1973, and bi-amped it with an Audio ... | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? Oops, "were" it not. | |
| Which subwoofer should I get? I would suggest any of the Rythmik Audio models, where it not for the fact that the company does direct-to-consumer sales only. I'm not sure what their audition policy is, so head over to their website to at least check them out. Then go to the... |
