| Whats on your turntable tonight? @mammothguy: Bop Til You Drop was the first Pop album recorded digitally. Ry is a fanatic about his recorded sound, and was gung ho on trying the new recording medium. That enthusiasm was extinguished when he heard the recorded results: He hated i... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? - Bohlender Graebener NEO3 planar-magnetic- Magnepan Ribbon- RTR ESL.- Stax ESL- Hell, any ESL (except perhaps Martin Logan) | |
| Why not more popular? @jaytor, there are a few factors which pretty much answer both the major and minor questions in your post. Because I find this subject so interesting, I shall endeavor to remember to get to them all while also getting "into the weeds", as they say... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Not even close Steve! You guys are costing me a lotta dough ;-). I had to go buy three more Ikea EKET cabinets to house all the LP's you guys talked me into buying. I'm loving that there is so much good new music being made (a lot of my old friend... | |
| need new classical vinyl/LP Analogue Productions bought the Classic Recordings label catalog, originally available on LP in the 1990's and early-mid 2000's. That catalog includes a huge number of the legendary "golden age" RCA recordings, pressed on superior vinyl by AP at t... | |
| New In 2021 Actually @slaw, I believe it is John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band ;-) . I give top billing to the singer/songwriter, whom on this album I am sure is John.I saw The Jerry Douglas Band at the tail-end of 2019, at a nice theater in Portland. I p... | |
| Strange looking vinyl A sealed LP is not necessarily factory-sealed. Every Tower Records had a resealing machine in it’s backroom, used to make returned LP’s sellable again.In the 1970’s there was a company (Recoton, iirc) making plastic-lined sleeves. The problem was,... | |
| 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... |
