| If you hopped into your time machine and brought back audio gear- what would it be? Garrard 301/501, Thorens TD-124 Mk.2. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! A "Cut-Out" is NOT synonymous with a "Promotional" LP. Yes, some of the LP's sent to radio stations and product buyers at record stores in advance of street date had one corner of the cover clipped off, but many didn't, having instead a white labe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It’s obviously not on my turntable tonight, but today I received notice from Elusive Disc of the upcoming April release of Lucinda Williams’ double LP tribute to Tom Petty. Oughta be great! By the way, ED doesn’t charge sales tax, and ships for fr... | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup John at Townshend Audio advised I employ four Seismic Pods in all applications. Being accustomed to using three cones (first the Mod Squad Tip Toe, then the far superior BDR carbon fiber and Golden Sound DH ceramic cones) under everything, I went ... | |
| Critical subwoofer tip Everyone rightfully cites REL subs as having high-level inputs---the sub taking it’s input from the output of a power amp. Often not mentioned is that the Rythmik subs having one of the company’s PEQ plate amps provide both low (line) -level and h... | |
| What exactly is textural density?? Another term used in place of textural density---in particular by Sam Tellig---is "more 'there' there". The greater the textural density, the greater will the timbre of an instrument or voice be revealed.Ray Charles', Howlin' Wolf's, and Aretha Fr... | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? Gee, if we accept the premise that every loudspeaker must be custom tuned to each listener's ears, of what value to one person is another listener's impressions of a given loudspeaker?That question is rendered moot by the fact that the promise is ... | |
| What exactly is textural density?? The more I consider the question, the more I like @oregonpapa's example of a cello or upright bass played with a bow. My sister played cello, and I've played with a couple of acoustic basses, so I'm pretty familiar with the sound they produce. The... | |
| Low Frequency Equalizer Unit for Infinity RS-2b (IIB) speakers Oops, I WAS thinking of the RS-1b, which I at one time owned. The woofer system in the 1b is definitely a servo-feedback design, in essence a small-scale IRS. Six 8" woofers in a separate enclosure per stereo side, but no integral amplifier, an ou... | |
| What is it in MM that can give me goose-bumps? 🤔 Ya know, @noromance is right.In asking about MM's, I take it the op is thinking of such cartridges in terms of their high output voltage compared to that of MC's, correct? Well, the Decca and London cartridges are MI's (Moving Iron), and have extr... | |
| What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time? If you want to slow dance to "Love Hurts", at least make it to the original version by The Everly Brothers. If not that one, the early-70's version by Gram Parson & Emmylou Harris. | |
| The Best Audio Retailers in Orange County, CA Yeah, Gene Rubin's great, but as stated he's North Of L.A., not South. Ventura is a nice beach town, with a bar that books great acts like Albert Lee. I saw him perform there (no stage, right on the floor) to a packed house of guitar players, all ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, you have a very good memory ;-) . Yes, I recently saw that old post, and at that time felt most "Rock" albums weren't of sufficiently high recorded sound quality to justify an audiophile reissue. I still feel that way, but the qualifier "mo... | |
| Low Frequency Equalizer Unit for Infinity RS-2b (IIB) speakers The original woofers are used in an integral servo-feedback system. Are the replacements? | |
| What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time? "In My Room" by The Beach Boys, "You Really Got A Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, "Close To Kathy" by Mike Clifford, "Magnet And Steel" by Walter Egan. |
