| Cover Songs that are better than the Original "A Song For You" by The Continental Drifters imo bests the fine original recording by Gram Parsons. The Drifters was an L.A. Super Group consisting of Susan Cowsill, Vicki Peterson (The Bangles), Peter Holsapple (The dB’s), Mark Walton (The Dream ... | |
| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering @jagjag, don't take everything you read as Gospel. Different linear trackers have differing amounts of horizontal effective mass. Do look into the current Trans-Fi Terrminator. | |
| What is it......... In the old days, singles were mixed and eq'ed differently than LP tracks, to make them "punch" more on a car radio. | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs Actually, many of the lathes now being used have been rebuilt (having been recently rescued from years of storage) to better-than-new condition. Your problem may be that modern mastering avoids the use of the bass filtering that used to be common ... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Bob, before pulling the trigger, look into the GR Research/Rythmik F12G Sub. Optimized for music, it employs the GR Research 12" low-mass paper-cone woofer and Rythmik Servo-Feedback system. VERY high quality music reproduction.If you can build an... | |
| (Early) Elvis compilation vinyl In 1997, DCC (Dunhill Compact Classics) released a 2-LP "180+ Pure Virgin Vinyl Analog Pressing" in a gatefold cover, mastered by Steve Hoffman on an "All vacuum tube cutting system."Disc One:Side One:1- "Heartbreak Hotel"2- "Love Me"3- "Don’t Be ... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? @noble100, So Bob thinks he can run his speakers and a pair of passive subs off the same amp at the same time?! You’re right, I wasn’t aware he was already using the Parasound on his loudspeakers. I was assuming he knew what a passive sub is ;-) . | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Yep Bob, the 10" woofer is down-firing, the cylindrical enclosure sitting on tall spikes which raise it off the floor. A Parasound amp will be fine with them, and as I said the subs came with a passive x/o, so no extra electronics are required. Th... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Brooks Berdan was a dealer of both Wilson and Vandersteen. The Vandersteen Models 1, 2, and 3 were his (and many other hi-fi dealer’s) bread and butter speakers (Brooks was one of Richard’s "biggest" dealers). Wilson’s were bought by a different k... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! Because both the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub and their standard sealed enclosure subs (the F12G in the case of GRR) employ the Rythmik Servo-Feedback system, the difference between the two is not as great as it would be sans the servo. Each ... | |
| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... I had a Frank Van Alstine-modified Dynaco PAS pre-amp (quietest pre I’ve ever owned. Frank used 5751’s in place of the stock 12AX7’s), but decided to go with a passive pre, so got the then-new NYAL Super It phono stage, and sold the PAS.Well, NYAL... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 7 !! THE sub for planars is the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub. This has been discussed on Audiogon numerous times in the fairly recent past, so I won't bore everyone again with the reasons why. ;-)Yes, the swarm is a great thing, but an OB/Dipole s... | |
| Futterman. Jump in? Or, not so fast... @kacomess, New York Audio Labs was started by hi-fi provocateur Harvey Rosenberg. Harvey hired engineer George Kaye, and the two of them developed the company’s line of tube (input stage) / ss (output stage) hybrid Moscode power amps.Harvey worked... | |
| What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have? California has lots of rifle ranges, at one of which I not too long ago did some shooting, both rifles and handguns. If you've never held or even seen a 45, they are bigger and heavier than you think! Wore ear protection, of course ;-) . | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? @bob540, I have a pair of the original passive (no plate amp, but a passive x/o proving low-pass filtering is included) HSU sub, the HRSW10 (Rosewood veneer). They’ve been in storage for years, and I just pulled them out of their cartons. The foam... |
