| What is best sub to match with Magnepan? 1- If you have the room, the bass panels of any of the Magneplanar Tympani loudspeakers. Secure them to the walls or ceiling for bass down to 30Hz. LOTS of current required. Satie on the Planar Speaker Asylum powers his with 2,000 watts/per Tympan... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa loudspeakers, black cloth and dark wood side rails. Elegant simplicity.My favorite looking amplifier is the Atma-Sphere M60, with the chrome-plated version of the round-cornered power transformer cover (and it's 50's-styl... | |

| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Danny Richie (GR Research) is recommending and selling Sonicap and Miflex KPCU caps for his DIY speaker kits. He looks for resolution and transparency in loudspeaker components, as well as natural organic instrumental timbre and texture. | |
| time-aligned speakers: stepped fronts vs. sloping fronts @jaytor, you’re gonna love the OB/Dipole Sub! I installed mine in a pair of W-frames I had, but one of the contributors to the GR Research Forum on AudioCircle (a woodworker) is making a really good H-frame and selling it for a reasonable price ($... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners By the way, fellas, the way to differentiate between a London SuperGold fitted with a VdH stylus and one with an extended line contact stylus is to look on the bottom of the cartridge, on the red plastic of the cheesy mount iirc. Hand written (by ... | |
| Where subwoofers are manufactured Excellent choicer, @conlad! More important that where a sub woofer (or any component, for that matter) is manufactured (or assembled), is who designed it. Brian Ding of Rythmik is a very smart guy (PhD in physics, I believe) and subwoofer designer... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Couldn’t resist Steve! I’ve been refraining from engaging lately, both here and in life. It’ll pass ;-) . A pretty good guitarist I’ve known since I was 18 was way more moody than I, and not too long ago drove his Chevy van off a cliff in Arizona ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners There is a London SuperGold fitted with the Decapod (which replaces the horrible stock mounting bracket, making the mechanical bond between pickup and arm much more secure) on ebay right now. It has just been serviced by John Wright, fitted with a... | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi @jafant, to characterize what Richards (and Jagger) did as "steal" from Cooder is to miss the point. All musicians "borrow" from others; what Richards and Jagger did went WAY beyond that. Cooder was insulted; I was filled with complete and total c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, I'll bet you know Death Can For Cutie got their name from the song of the same title by The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, found on their debut album Gorilla. And that it is they who are performing in the underground scene in Magical Mystery Tour,... | |
