| Whats on your turntable tonight? Coincidently Jim, I'm thinking about making a trip up to Hawthorne Stereo and Seattle-area record stores (High Voltage, for one). I'm all immunized, but everyone in Portland/Vancouver is still wearing masks (no Covid-deniers around here, thank God... | |
| High quality vinyl Steve, when it comes to new releases I can't find the logic. Amy Helm's older album was offered on both LP and CD, the newer one on CD only.When it comes to reissues, the great reissue labels (MoFi---don't listen to those who have heard only the p... | |
| WHO ARE THE BEST SONGWRITERS IN THE LENNON McCARTNEY Traddition? - Jordan/Wilson. Listen to their Flamin' Groovies Shake Some Action album for the best example. Produced by the great Dave Edmunds.- Marshall Crenshaw. And not just because he played Lennon in the stage production of Beatlemania. A great, great so... | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? From my reading, acoustic experts state that the listener needs to be a minimum distance from diffusers for them to work correctly. Any less than that distance is not advised, absorption is recommended instead. So what is that distance? I'm not po... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Damn, this is by far the best thread on Audiogon!@slaw: Steve, I have yet to hear PJ Harvey sing (gotta fix that), but when Pearl Harbor debuted her new style and band at The Lava Lounge on Sunset Blvd. about twenty years ago, I was her drummer an... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity As long as I'm here ;-) :I'm assuming every LFT-8b owner bought and is using the Sound Anchors stands specific for the speaker. If so, and you intend to keep the ET's for a while, an accessory to consider is the Seismic Pod by Townshend Audio.Whil... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Regarding any perceived brightness in the LFT-8b, the midrange/tweeter x/o (again, symmetrical 1st order filters) is located at 10kHz, well above the brightness range. The LFT-8b allows for three tweeter output settings, but that won't help with b... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity One thing to remember about dipole planars is that the rear wave reaches the front wall (behind the speakers), is reflected off that wall at the same angle but in the opposite direction, eventually reaching the listeners ears delayed in time in re... | |
| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? Damn, Frank must be pretty darn old now. In the mid-80’s I sent him my Dynaco PAS pre-amp to have him install his mod, and he was at least middle-aged then. He already looked a lot like Bill Johnson, iirc. Real fine designer imo, very value orient... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? When given the choice, I’ve chosen the 33-1/3 versions of albums. The artistic intent of an album side is more important to me than is the slightly better sound provided by 45 RPM, especially in the case of an album such as Pet Sounds (not a very ... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. Me, "help" the audiophile community? First, I don’t presume to have anything in the way of help for that community; I am not nearly as concerned with my music playback system as is the typical audiophile. "It’s about the music" may be a cliche’, b... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, who woulda thought the Santana album could sound that good? Eliminating those two steps provides a marked increase in transparency, or at least that is what has been reported by people with rather high standards. We shall see!I have scratche... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Your surprise in justified and understandable @slaw. I made statements a while back about what I considered the folly of issuing "audiophile" LP pressings of albums whose recorded sound quality made such a pressing the equivalent of putting lipsti... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Cool @reubent. David Mansfield can be seen in the film Heaven’s Gate, playing in the band at the dance in the tent. He looks about 15 years old! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today I received notice from Mobile Fidelity of the upcoming UltraDisc One-Step LP of Carole King's Tapestry album. I haven't loved any of the previous One-Step titles enough to spend $125 (if I had known the Santana would now be selling for over ... |
