| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601, have you heard about the new documentary on The Band, put together by Robbie Robertson? It's entitled "Once Were Brothers", and is based on Robbie's book. It's "touring" the U.S. right now, playing in selected cities. It's at the Kiggin... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity No Scot, both Rythmik and GR Research sell the OB Sub as a kit only. But the Canadian woodworker offers his H-frame fully assembled (and finished if you want) in addition to shipping it as a flat pack. To see what it looks like, look up the Virtua... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? You can get a package of 20 Grip Rite brand "Plastic High Chairs" (supports to elevate the rebar in concrete foundations) at Home Depot, product no. IHCP21420R (sku 7 64666 53838 2), $3.60 for the bag of 20. Put a "suspension bridge" across the ga... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Yup, ESL’s are IT for transparency imo. I have QUAD ESL’s, Stax phones, and a pair of ESS Transtatic’s with three of the RTR ESL tweeters, I’ve heard the big Soundlabs, and had I the requisite space and funds would have a pair of them too!The impe... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Agreed. Magnepan kept at it though, the 3-panel Tympani line culminating in the T-IVa, a pair of which I now own. Though the two woofer panels don't do the bottom half-octave (30-20Hz), if braced (either to the ceiling or the wall behind the panel... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Scot, here’s the deal with GR Research, Rythmik, and the OB/Dipole Sub. GR Research is a 1-man company (Danny Richie) specializing in two things: 1- open baffle speakers; 2- kits for DIY speaker builders. Danny is also well known for his crossover... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Lew, do you remember J. Gordon Holt's reaction to the T-IU? He drew a line on a chart, representing what the speaker's frequency response sounded like to him. It looked like the side profile of the top of a single-hump camel: a midrange hump with ... | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs @magic44ken, there already are 8" Rythmik Servo subs, two models (F8 and FM8). They are listed and detailed on the company's website. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Scot, I went through a similar learning curve back in the mid-70’s. I bought a pair of Magneplanar Tympani T-I’s in ’73, but grew dissatisfied by their slightly opaque lack of transparency and missing bottom octave. In ’74 I replaced them with a p... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity To turn the LFT-8b in an absolute giant-killer (actually, even in stock form it is), use a pair of GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Subs in place of the LFT’s 8" woofers. Unlike "normal" subs, the OB/Dipole will play up to the 8b’s x/o frequency of 1... | |
| What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers Bear Family (Germany), Sundazed, Harmonia Mundi (France and U.S.A.), Ace (UK). | |
| OK...Added 2 HSU ULS-15Mk2 subwoofers To My System I've long considered most systems I've heard to sound too lightweight, lacking the heft and visceral qualities heard in live music. That lack of weight is accompanied by a lack of lower-midrange/midrange tonal density: instruments are robbed of th... | |
| With what you know now what components doe you wish you had bought years ago? Quad ESL, Eminent Technology LFT-6, Garrard 401, Garrott Brothers-modified Decca, Townshend Audio Rock Reference (this last one not from lack of knowledge, but lack of necessary $ ;-) . | |
| There's always time for a little Jimi... The deal with Mitch's cymbal stand (the old Ludwig model 1400) was that whomever set up his kit raised the height of the ride cymbal stand far too high, placing that ride cymbal at the height of a crash cymbal. Mitch was merely lowering it to it's... | |
| Importance of phase and timing optimization when incorporating sub woofers ? The Rythmik Audio subs that contain one of the company's "Full" size plate amps (A370, H600, etc.) have a continuously-variable phase control, allowing adjustment anywhere from 0 to 180 degrees (no delay to 16 ms). And if you choose Rythmik's OB/D... |
