| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs I dislike applying the adjective "Best" to anything (except J.S. Bach and The Band ;-), but I’m with ya George. Hearing my first ESL’s was a game changer: the Infinity Servo-Static I and 2000A, the ESS Trans-Static I (a pair of which I now own), t... | |
| New Phono cartridge The London's are much improved over the Deccas. And the Decapod is a must on the Gold and Super Gold. Another good arm for Londons/Deccas is the Zeta, occasionally available for under a grand. Damped uni-pivot arms used to be popular for them, but... | |
| SOTA Sapphire aquired @tomic601, have you seen Lyle live? Oh, man, is he great. I saw him with his Large Band, with Russell Kunkel on drums. Whatta band!Roger knew a lot about music. In an email, I was telling him about all the guys I had worked with who had died in th... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Cardas are known for warm sound, except the "Clear" model. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? If you use cable risers, make sure to try them facing in both directions. The grain in the wood, plastic, Styrofoam coffee cup, and cardboard toilet paper roll interacts with the photons traveling down the cable dielectric, smearing the music. If ... | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs Thanks @jaytor, I stand corrected. I can't keep up with Danny! | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Speaking of Roger, he recommended three feet of space above his RM-200 amp, which ran 6550 (or KT88) tubes.But ARC has a new option for you. Right on schedule, the New! Improved! REF 6SE is now available. Step right up ;-) . | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE ^^^ :-) ! | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour @andy2, before I had a friend who was a high end dealer (I bought some stuff from Brooks Berdan when he was a salesman at GNP in Pasadena, then followed him when he opened his own shop. Over the years our relationship evolved into a personal one.)... | |
| SOTA Sapphire aquired I like tomic601's John Hiatt reference ;-) . | |
| diy tangential tonearms Damn @uberwaltz, I just looked at your link. The Air Prodigy appears to be a note-perfect Terminator knock-off. 500 bucks? How can you loose?! If the Terminator is a great bargain (I think so), the AP may be twice the bargain. I’m a little leery o... | |
| Great choral music on lp If you ever see any of the ARK Records label LP’s for sale, buy ’em all! They are recordings of amateur (but good) Minneapolis-area church choirs and organists made by speaker designer Robert Fulton in the 1970’s. The sound quality of those record... | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour @don_c55, isn't it odd that Wilson dealers have that company's mid-priced models on demo (those models costing more than Magnepan's 20.7i and even 30.7), yet no Magnepan dealer I'm aware of has a pair of 20.7i, let alone 30.7, to audition? How can... | |
| GR Research NX-Otica and Servo OB Subs @nrenter, I believe you mean Danny's line source offerings? He's a fan and proponent of that concept, and has offered many line source loudspeakers over the years. One of his GR Research Tech Talk Tuesday videos covers that subject in great detail. | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? OB/Dipole subs don't load the room the way sealed, ported, and even infinite baffled ones do. Just sayin'.For a true subwoofer, look into the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer. Output down to 1Hz, with very low distortion. |
