| Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage In the 60's/early-70's, the hardest core audiophiles did as Lew just said: take the signal coming out of the tape monitor jacks and use that to feed their power amp, thereby bypassing the line stage. That worked only if the gain provided by a line... | |

| Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP Dayton Audio has just introduced a new DSP bass management box, model DSP-LF. Parts Express is selling it REAL cheap: $59.99. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system In the LFT driver, Bruce Thigpen found a solution to many of the shortcomings audiophiles have long considered Maggies to have. It's too bad more of them can't hear the LFT-8b, buying the 1.7i not knowing what they could have for only a few hundre... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| 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. |
