| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? This is an easy one for me. The London (Decca) moving iron pickups make music sound more like live music than anything else I’ve heard. Startling attack, immediacy, presence, full-bodied tonality, dynamics, and imaging. The musician’s touch on ... | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! "How many exceptions did you count in the past 25 years?" It was you who made the statement that "ALL" modern vinyl blah blah blah. That’s like saying all modern turntables are junk after looking at only a Crosley or other "toy" table. ... | |
| Am I right for this forum? IMO a better question is "Is this forum right for you?" I didn’t read through all responses, so someone else may have already said it. I define an audiophile as one who has more money invested in his hi-fi system than in his music library. | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! "All modern vinyl is cut from a hires digital studio master, botched, and put on noisy plastic, garnished with some wow and flutter...." No it isn't. | |
| A great video about Garth Hudson. Damn @garebear, nice momento in that drumhead! My copy of Levon’s book is signed by him, and Ringo also showed up at the signing event (at Book Soup on Sunset Blvd.) to get his copy signed. The Dylan/Band tour is one I missed. Bill Graham sold... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... @mwinkc: $4000 for the "X" upgrade to the MG2.71?! I’m very curious as to how Magnepan justifies that! As a reminder, Eminent Technology already offers a planar-magnetic loudspeaker with a dipole woofer system, the LFT-8c. $4500, and the LFT-8... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? The waterfall plot displays both the frequency response of a loudspeaker (in various dimensions) and it’s behaviour in time. It is very revealing of any "ringing" in the speaker’s response, ringing being a major cause of the lack of transparenc... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Oh, a few more facts and I’ll shut the Hell up (yeah, sure 😊 ). In the demonstrations of the prototype 30.7 For Condo’s, Wendell Diller was unequivocal and quite adamant that monopole subs (sealed and ported) "Do not work" (his words) with ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... I neglected to mention that the Rythmik Audio plate amp that comes with the OB/Dipole Sub contains a dipole cancellation network, and the Rythmik servo-feedback system enables the sub to reproduce 20Hz at reasonably loud levels. The sound of an... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... @mijostyn: I guess you haven’t heard who has been working on prototype dipole subs for a few years now. Wendell Diller and Magnepan. The proposed upcoming model that will pair magnetic-planar midrange/tweeter panels with dipole subs has been hu... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... @cey: No he didn't. | |
| Your absolute top ten favorite tracks. The first that come to mind are: - "Driving Wheel" by T Bone Burnett, on his Truth Decay album (Takoma Records). Get the version of the LP when it was distributed by Chrysalis Records (look for that info at the bottom of the back cover). Th... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Probably a pair of huge SoundLabs, powered by Atma-Sphere amps. If I had a ballroom-size listening room and lotsa dough, that's what I would get myself. The SoundLabs, anyway. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? In the Summer of ’68 (how many here were then not yet born? 😊 ) I put together my first system: a Garrard SL55 with a Shure M44e cartridge, a Fisher X-100A integrated tube amp, and Acoustic Research 4ax loudspeakers. Not a bad place to start. ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... By the way, one very popular after-market product for Maggies are the stands Grant Mye up in Canada makes for them. While many Maggie owners are perfectly content with the bases supplied by Magnepan, there are some owners who desire to maximize... |
