| Again the topic of weight of amps Tim deParavicini of EAR-Yoshino says he can predict the bass sound an amplifier produces by looking at the size of it’s transformers. Transformer design is an art, requiring a compromise between various considerations. Too small and the bass suffe... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps The Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2 is slightly over 40 lbs. unboxed, and is an excellent tube amp for low impedance loudspeakers. It puts out 100w/ch at both 8 and 4 ohms. | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Superior to the Magnepan MG1.7i. $2499 US. | |
| Does anyone know the bias on a VTL 225 with KT90 tubes in them? Why not put in a call to VTL? | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps @pehare, thanks for bringing the RM-10 to my attention. I check the new listings everyday, but somehow missed it on Saturday. It's 25/35w/ch (there are two versions of it) might not be enough for the OP's speaker demands, but it's THE amp for the ... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? Yeah @bpoletti, those VPI cone feet are couplers (all cones are), and who wants to couple the plinth of their suspension-less table to its’ support structure?! I’ve just installed a set of Townshend Seismic Pods under both my Aries and Townshend R... | |
| Interesting/unusual concert pairings. When Dylan toured again following his near-death illness in the late-90’s, he played The Pantages Theatre on Hollywood Blvd., a beautiful Art Deco building (while the sound on the audience side is okay, the sound on stage is not; the sound from th... | |
| Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc One thing I like about the Sound Anchor stands for the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeakers (like Maggies, a magnetic-planar dipole, though mounted on a woofer enclosure) is their 3-point design: the SA "stand" (a bit of a misnomer; is more a ba... | |
| Acoustics @simna, your problem and question is a deep and complicated one. It cannot be answered in a short, concise way here. To get a complete understanding of the issues involved will require many hours of research and reading on the subject of small roo... | |
| 1973 Black lights were cool, but strobe lights sucked. It made playing your guitar difficult. The Band asked the venues they played to skip the light show ;-). Kinda corny. | |
| MNPCTech footers? All great information. Overlooked however are the Townshend Audio Seismic products, imo the best "reasonably" priced (less than the cost of the Herzan and Minus-K platforms) isolation devices. The line includes individual Pods, Platforms (which in... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: What happened to all the cables Robert Fulton made? He was the pioneer in the field. | |
| MNPCTech footers? Keith, the GAIA are indeed listed on Amazon for $189, and B&M stores are selling them for $199. They were developed to be used as feet for loudspeakers, in place of the stock feet (if any) or spikes. But they are also appropriate for turntable... | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? "Speak of the Devil and he will appear". Upon going into New Listings this afternoon, I quickly saw a set of four BDR 2-3/4" Pucks, exactly what I have been intent, as previously stated, on obtaining. The asking price was $120 shipped, but my offe... | |
| MNPCTech footers? Keith, the GAIA III is not at all complicated externally (internally is a different story, but you needn’t concern yourself with that ;-). It is just a circular metal foot 1-1/2" tall by 1-3/4" in diameter, and will fit into the spring cavity in t... |
