| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars Whether or not any given speaker "favours a certain kind of music", there are certainly examples of speakers that are poor choices for certain kinds. A mini monitor (or the QUAD ESL) for reproducing pipe organ recordings (a Symphony Orchestra perf... | |
| Wall mounting on studs Don't play "really valuable direct-to-disk LP's"? Why buy them to not listen to?! An unplayed LP has no value, musically speaking. | |
| KEF LS50 Meta And, Guttenberg mentioned the internal bracing is improved in the Meta. It's going to be interesting to see if they measure differently than the original, assuming John Atkinson gets a pair (he loves the original).I love the matte finish on the Me... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks fellers. I remember liking the sound of Harvest a lot. Neil was of course going for the Band brown album sound, as was Elton John on Tumbleweed Connection, said Bernie Taupin in an interview. Kenny Buttrey’s Sonor drums sound fantastic, he ... | |
| Tea For The Tillerman2 An artist revisiting a past work can be interesting and/or great, or the opposite. Anyone talented enough to create an original like TFTT deserves at least a listen to the new presentation. Cat may now be able to reach deeper into the album's song... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Regarding @tomic601's impression of his pressing of After The Goldrush, what is a good copy of that album to look for? How about the Harvest album? Somewhere along the line I got rid of my originals, wanna get the best sounding LP versions availab... | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? Look into the stands made my Sound Anchors, they're really good. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601, if you want to hear Evan in a different setting, he joined the Austin band The Leroi Brothers for one album---Lucky Lucky Me. I found a sealed copy on Discogs for ten bucks, where currently there are a bunch of Mint copies for even less... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Joan Osborne is at the top of my list of living female (or not) singers. Watch her YouTube live-in-the-studio (radio station) rendering of Slim Harpo’s "Shake Your Hips". Smokin’ hot! So is the band accompanying her, really good. And her performan... | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars What would be great is to find another 1001 Mk.5. Running a pair with each as a mono amp significantly increases not just their power output (quadrupling it!), but their sound quality as well. | |
| laid back stereo power amp Oh yeah, the Magtech would be great with the 1.7i. But a $6,000 amp on $2200/pr loudspeakers?!That’s the thing about Maggies: they are bargain priced, but that price is mitigated by the fact that they greatly benefit (some might say require) a fai... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse Behind Listening Position? For a diffuser to work, it has to be a "certain" distance from the listener's ears. I put certain in quotes because the distance is frequency determined. A Google search will lead you to the related data, but start with the YouTube videos posted b... | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? Ha, very good one @stereo5!I had my Well Tempered rewired (uninterrupted run), and had nothing but trouble with the wire ends breaking off the RCA plugs. But the single-run silver wire looms I got with my Trans-Fi Terminator and and Helius Omega a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance, I too just received a mailer with LP's (two Paul Butterfield, and The London Chuck Berry Sessions) from @tomic601 (thanks, pal-o-mine!). He really is a coastal elite socialist, sharing the wealth like that. ;-) | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading @reven6e, your description fits to a T another self-proclaimed "very stable genius". |
