| Bose 901 One of the better hi-fi theorists (perhaps Peter Moncrieff in IAR) opined that the only way for the 901 to work as Dr. Bose intended was with a recording made in an anechoic chamber (or outdoors, I suppose). The sound captured by the recording mic... | |
| Power Amplifiers Sold my Bedini 25/25, but still have an Electron Kinetics Eagle 2A and PS Audio 200C. | |
| Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage No mc, onhwy61 is not speaking of which RCA input jacks are closest to the selector switch on a pre-amp. He is referring to pre-amps with a "Direct Input", that pair of RCA’s bypassing any and all controls except for volume/level. ARC is one compa... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? ^^^ Says the King of pointless threads. | |
| Turntable resonance normal? Joe, why would you expect to NOT hear a thump when you tap on the arm or plinth? The cartridge is rigidly attached to the arm (hopefully!), the arm to the plinth (likewise). You hear a thump when you tap the HRS base because the table is a non-sus... | |
| GR Research NX-Extreme @maplegrovemusic , here are a couple of pointers about building a GR Research kit:Glue: I recommend Titebond III Ultimate. It gives you longer "open" time before starting to harden than do Titebond Original and II. Use more glue than you think nec... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Iris Dement’s entire recorded output, front to back. I saw her last night at The Aladdin Theater, and was once again was graced with the songs and singing---as well as wit and sense of humor---of one of the small handful of greatest musical artist... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? @uberwaltz, now that you’re an AudioCircle member, dig into the GR Research Circle. Danny Richie is a very knowledgeable, talented speaker designer, his kits the best values in hi-fi. And his customers the best group of DIY audiophiles I’m aware o... | |
| Bose 901 Not to be intentionally contrary, but the $500 I spent in 1971 on a pair of 901’s was the biggest waste of money in my hi-fi life. It didn’t take me long to start hating them, and replaced them soon with a pair of 1001’s from a new company named I... | |
| I'm interested in hearing what "the best" systems sound like, where to go? Spend a week in Southern California, visiting all the great dealers in the area. You’ll need a week because the traffic is horrific. | |
| Ok guys 1- It is well known (and undisputed) that a stylus traversing an LP groove causes friction. That it causes a static charge is an assertion I had never before heard.2- As soon as it became available, I started using a Zerostat in an attempt to neut... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! Damn Tim, 3.7i's and the Debra Swarm. I would without hesitation take that over the 3/4 million dollar Wilsons. A lotta loot left for music! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You think he "lost it", @uberwaltz? Did he have something to lose? Only the love of hearing the sound of his own voice. Geez, I feel like I’m back on Facebook. ;-)Ha! Your prediction has come to pass: the thread has been "removed by a moderator." | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs @yeti42, a Townshend Rock 2? Congratulations on your good taste! ;-) Another of those superior designs ignored by the majority of audiophiles, @slaw (Rock Mk.7) and myself (Rock Elite Mk.2) the rare exception. |
