| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Excellent point, @eichlerera. The wavelength at 10kHz is only approximately 1.3 inches, so a tweeter using that x/o frequency is ripe for producing comb filtering (due to in-phase and out-of-phase interaction between any two drivers reproducing th... | |
| Complete Proprietary Systems Einstein. For a look at a complete Einstein system, check out the "45 RPM Audiophile" posting on YouTube in which system owner Michael Ludwig shows off his. If nothing else it LOOKS good. ;-) | |
| Record Store Day 2021, Drop #1 Today! Unable to make it to Music Millennium or any other Portland shop (I am currently dealing with acute Achilles Tendonitis in my right foot; very painful.), I bought online (from Hi-Voltage Records) the only June RSD title I wanted: I'll Have A.....B... | |
| Derek and the Dominos 50th There is a documentary entitled Tom Dowd & The Language Of Music, available on DVD. Mr. Dowd and many other big-name engineers approach(ed) the recording of music from a perspective far removed from that of Doug Sax (Sheffield Records) and Kav... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt The Music Reference RM-9 Mk.2. THE classic tube amp, better than the Marantz 8b and 9, the Mac MC75, and the ARC D76.For low impedance loads, the RM-200, "Class A" rated in Stereophile by Michael Fremer since 2002. The only tube amp I know of that... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters There is a loudspeaker with what amounts to a super-tweeter built in: the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. The ribbon tweeter in the LFT-8 is employed from 10kHz up, fed from a 1st-order filter set at that frequency. The LFT-8b retails for $2499/pr, not... | |
| Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output The over-looked EAR-Yoshino 868L, designed and built by the recently-departed Tim de Paravicini, occasionally available used for around $3,000. The 868 sports two pair each of single-ended and balanced outputs on it’s rear---all independent of eac... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Last I heard Sound Advice in Long Beach, California is Townshend Audio's U.S.A. distributor (as well as that of EAR-Yoshino and Helius Designs, both, like Townshend, UK companies), but that was a few years ago.Finding Sound Advice's Dan Meinwald t... | |
| Arrangement of components on rack The arrangement of my components is the consequence of my thinking in terms of the signal path and it’s inter-connect terminations.I’m a firm believer in the notion of tonearms being wired in the single-shot fashion: single uninterrupted runs of w... | |
| Derek and the Dominos 50th I haven't heard it, but Bobby Whitlock (the band's organist/vocalist/songwriter) panned it in one of his recent YouTube videos. The new mix was done so as to highlight Clapton, at the expense of the band's ensemble sound.The version to have is the... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @arafiq: The part of the Townshend Audio Seismic products---all of them---that provides the majority of the isolation they afford is the Seismic Pod, which is built into the Platform, Podium, and Bars.The Pods are available separately in sets of 4... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Agreed @rvpiano, that song defines Pop. Carole and Gerry wrote a lot of fantastic songs, including the astounding "Halfway To Paradise", recorded in the 1980's by Nick Lowe, a great version. | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Once a year Music Millennium in Portland (featured in one of Michael Fremer’s Analog Planet YouTube videos) has a sidewalk sale: boxes and boxes of used LP’s, priced to sell. I guess it’s done partly to make some room in their LP racks (which fill... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. @bkeske: The night before! Upon hearing the news, I for the first, last, and only time cried at the passing of a musician or singer. I'm tearing up now; I loved Richard SO much. So did Clapton. |
