| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Part 4 in Danny Richie's series of videos dedicated to open baffle loudspeaker and subwoofer design is now available for viewing on YouTube. The best one yet! A GR Research YouTube search will bring it up. | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals @roberjerman, when Steve McCormack closed his retail store (Music By The Sea) in the 1980's, he held a sale to get rid of components he had on hand. I bought his personal SP-6b, and later sold it to Brooks Berdan. That's one piece I really wish I ... | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? I had forgotten: having had my mind blown when I heard the Decca Blue cartridge on Bill Johnson's tonearm (a prototype that never went into production) in '73, I never-the-less went with the flow and replaced it with a Supex moving coil and the Le... | |
| Thinking about the good old days... Blind testing? I'm going to guess you're not a "tube guy". ;-)Roger Modjeski (of Music Reference and RAM Tube Works fame), though a completely "modern" amplifier designer, considered the OTL design of Julius Futterman---created in the 1950's---a w... | |
| Raise my subwoofers off the ground approximately 12”? Get a piece of Baltic Birch plywood (the stuff is pretty stiff), and if you want to go nuts glue a piece of MDF onto it. Even better, put a layer of ASC WALL damp between them (the resulting shelf will be very non-resonant). Add a set of bolt-on l... | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? After living with a pair of Magneplanar Tympani's for a year, I was seduced by the new Fulton Model J, which offered deeper bass and the transparency of RTR ESL tweeter (6 of them per speaker). It took me only a coupla months to realize that what ... | |
| DQ-LP1 Transformer @epiii---I got rid of the link I had to the company offering service/parts/upgrades for lots of the Dahlquist products when I sold my DQ-LP1 (I got myself a First Watt B4, a much more flexible active x/o. It sounds like you don't require that vers... | |
| DQ-LP1 Transformer Give Frank Van Alstine a call. He knows the DQ-LP1 well, at one time offering an upgrade for the unit. | |
| Thinking about the good old days... Oops, It's Neil Young who own Hank's Martin. Martin's are well known to sound better as they age. As for old pickups, guitarists are willing to pay big money for pickups taken out of old guitars (ask Ry Cooder ;-) . Seymour Duncan does a great job... | |
| Thinking about the good old days... When I saw Ry Cooder live, he was playing his (old) guitars through a jumble of old (1940’s/50’s/60’s) combo amps. My old bandmate Todd Phillips plays his 18th Century German upright bass when he gigs with David Grisman and Joan Baez. Steve Earle ... | |
| RTR electrstatic speakers An old thread with lots of great informed info., to which I can add only:Other loudspeakers that incorporated the RTR ESL tweeter were the ESS Transtatic I (the first ESL driver I heard. I now own a pair of TS I’s) and the Fulton Model J (the ESR-... | |
| Thinking about the good old days... Very little was better? How about 1950's Fender, Gibson, and Martin Guitars. Gretsch and Radio King drumsets, K. Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey. Big ol' Cadillac El Dorados and Lincoln Continentals (just yesterday I saw one with a black paint job... | |
| Tune of the Day "Across The Borderline" by Gaby Moreno and Van Dyke Parks (with Jackson Browne). You may be familiar with the version by Linda Ronstadt or Ry Cooder, but this version is very different. Gaby’s vocal is great, but it is Van Dyke’s reimagining of th... | |
| (Fun music) ABBA! Cheap Trick. Martin Mull. The Shaggs. The Rutles. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske, The Trolls did one 45 I believe, a cover of a Beatles song.There was a guy who headed the Garage Band resurgence of the late-70’s---Greg Shaw of Bomp Magazine and Records fame. He was (R.I.P.) a great Rock ’n’ Roll historian/writer, with ... |
