| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ I have yet to hear the OB speakers Danny Richie offers in his various GR Research kits, but they are pretty darn sensitive (mid-to-high 90's) and are reportedly very transparent, natural at timbre reproduction, and dynamic as well. As soon as soci... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. So, do people listen to, say, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, John Mellencamp, and a great number of other artists I could name, and consider the political element in their lyrics off limits on Audiogon? Kinda sil... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ The SoundLab ESL's are considered by some to be one of the best sounding line of loudspeakers available. They are also notoriously insensitive, and a very demanding load for a power amplifier They are also extremely transparent, and about as good ... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k The entire industry showered praises on the talents of Tim de Paravicini and the quality of his EAR-Yoshino designs when he passed recently, yet his pre-amps (and power amps) continue to be ignored by audiophiles. That mystifies me. Art Dudley lov... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. The point of this thread is NOT about how any here (including I) "feel" about the issue, but rather first about the YouTube video Norman Maslov posted, and secondly about the artists who did not want their music used for political purposes. And th... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? Yeah @tweak1, I have three sets of MD Springs: two sets of the smaller, one set of the big ones. I got them for use where I don’t have room for the taller Townshend Audio Seismic Pods, which I have been using for a couple of years now: under two t... | |
| Interesting development @tvad, that's a result of his taste in beverages: Kool-Aid ;-) . | |
| Newly patented, infinitely adjustable system tuning I heard from a guy who said that in order for them to let you keep touching them, you have to be a celebrity. But then, that guy keeps touching them even if they DON'T let him. He has used lots of lawyers to get out of sticky situations, sometimes... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. Considering what’s going at this very moment, I nominate the great compilation album of various artists performing Leiber & Stoller songs, the album’s title being There’s A Riot Goin’ On. Congratulations America, you are now just another banan... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. Audiogon is also a music site. This thread is about songs used in a political manner. Anyone not wanting to read about a video addressing that topic is free to not do so. Ah, there’s a song right there: "Freedom" by Richie Havens (performed live i... | |
| Interesting development Some posts are over-simplifying the issue, others over-complicating it.Sidewinder by Lee Morgan is available in a new pressing (one title in the Blue Note Classic series) for $20-25. The copies of the album going for hundreds of dollars are differ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio: I don’t know about the separate LP and CD issues, but the 50th anniversary deluxe boxset of Stage Fright comes out on Feb.12. It will include a live show from 1971, a show Robertson says is one of the best The Band ever did. I saw ... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) 100% in agreement @russ69 (I heard them at the Irvine Show, two different years. Best sound at both shows imo). To hear them is to want them! I first heard of Roger when he wrote his multi-part article on ESL’s for J. Gordon Holt, published in Ste... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio: I don’t know if you got this pressing of the Albert King Elvis album, but there is one offered by reissue company Vinyl Me Please that is reportedly great. I just ordered my copy a coupla days ago from a seller on Discogs.@mammothg... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) Sanders set up their ESL's at shows diagonally. |
