| 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,... | |
| Replacing the binding posts at Magnepan 1,7i Yep, I very slightly enlarged the holes in the speaker’s rear plate. On my Tympanis, the hex-shaped Magnepan connectors are secured to the plate with rear-mounted hex nuts; aren’t yours?Yes, I removed the stock insulator and put the Cardas black p... | |
| Improving tweeter clarity. Felt. John Bau installed a thick felt blanket on the baffle of his Spica loudspeakers, primarily to prevent diffraction of the tweeter output off the outside edges of the baffle. | |
| Replacing the binding posts at Magnepan 1,7i The holes are SO close to being big enough for the Cardas posts (the holes are just a hair too small) that a small round hand file run around the hole perimeters for a few minutes will take off enough metal. I enlarged the holes in the plates of m... | |
| Budget Tube Amp (newbie) I recently received a few emails from Roger Modjeski about his RM-10 tube amp. Both the original and Mk.2 versions of the amp are rated at 35 watts/ch, but the first 15 of those watts are produced with the amp operating in Class A. The current ver... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? The OB/Dipole woofer system seen in the GT Audioworks are made by GR Research/Rythmik, and feature the Rythmik servo-feedback operation. They are available separately by both those companies (as a DIY kit only), and can be added to any loudspeaker... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? A 2nd on @mcreyn's suggestion of GR Research. Danny Richie's speakers are sold as kits only, but there is a cabinet maker on the GRR Audiocircle Forum who builds them at a very reasonable price. Giant Killers! | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) Conspicuously missing are the Magnepan 30.7 and the real big SoundLab ESL's. | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Unfortunately, a full-range driver has yet to be invented! Big ESL’s are close, though. The best we can do for now is use two or three drivers integrated with filters designed to make them behave as one.Danny Richie has designed loudspeakers in wh... | |
| Isolation Platform to Raise & Isolate Loudspeakers Watch the Townshend Audio videos on You Tube. | |
| Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi For a glimpse into the making of Let It Bleed, read the Rolling Stone interview with Ry Cooder sometime after the album’s release. Mick & Keith flew Ry in from California, and his account of the recordings he made with "them" (you’ll have to r... | |
| Klipsch speaker choices While the ringing of the metal that horns are most-often made of (there are a few guys making them out of wood) is what any coloration heard from them is attributed to, the dimensions of the horn itself is more responsible for the coloration. It's... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Having three turntables (or five) is, you know, fun. It's like having three girlfriends ;-) . |
