| Bits bits bits from Upscale Audio The PS Audio Copper electronic mag is really great, well worth your time. Great subjects and writers. | |
| Great sounding/recorded albums Depends on whom you're trying to impress, after all. Impressing a non-audiophile doesn't take much ;-) . Give 'em a buncha bass at concert-level SPL and they'll cream their jeans. | |
| Great sounding/recorded albums As roberjerman suggests, a direct-to-disk LP. Once you've heard one, everything else sounds veiled, compressed, and lifeless. Sheffield made a bunch of them, both Pop and Classical. There are other d-2-d labels, but the Sheffields are easier to fi... | |
| Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions There are two versions of The Lift (a product from Express Machining in San Jose, the guy who makes the Rega upgrade parts) listed on USAM right now, one chrome one black. | |
| 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... |
