| Joe Rogan Experience - Reggie Watts on Vinyl & Henry Rollins' hifi Brian Berdan (at Audio Elements in Pasadena) is Henry Rollins’ hi-fi dealer. He sold Rollins his Wilsons (when he was still at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia) and installed them in his home. Also VTL electronics, I believe. | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus I mask my tinnitus at bedtime not with fan noise but music. I put a long Classical piece in the DVD player in the bedroom, and if I’m still awake when it’s over I get up and do something for awhile, then try again. | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs @mcreyn, right you are. I use the Sheffield Drum Record direct-to-disk LP to evaluate loudspeakers, and that’s why I still have a pair of Tympani T-IVa. Nothing I’ve heard equals that speaker for the percussive attack of a stick on a drumhead, the... | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus A good tube amp might provide welcome relief from solid state hardness in the treble range, as well as some other benefits. | |
| Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation? Alrighty @slaw, I just ordered my own Thunderon from Sleeve City. It’s listed on Amazon too (where the shipping woulda been free), but is currently unavailable from them. And yes, I have pointed a flashlight at LP's (at night with the room lights ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, Patty’s really tight with Julie and Buddy Miller, and has joined them onstage, though not recently (Julie hadn’t done a live show for over ten years until she and Buddy very recently did one in Nashville to announce the release of their new... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs Excellent posts @mcreyn. The Rythmik subs are finding favour with a fair number of serious Maggie (and ESL) owners. The standard sealed models (F12, F15) are the norm, but the OB/Dipole model (developed in cooperation with Danny Richie of GR Resea... | |
| How much commonality between dacs? I know of one guy who makes serious modifications to commercial digital (and analog) products: Ric Schultz of Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS). | |
| Making a product to sell and the need for modernity Poor Erik. His parents go to all the trouble of spelling his name the coolest way, and to no avail ;-) . | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? @mijostyn, I’m not sure of the year Strickland and Beveridge each introduced their direct-drive ESL (the first Beveridge ESL, the Model 1, was invented in 1965), but I do know Strickland discontinued his amp and went with a transformer because of ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Yup @slaw, Crazy Heart was my first nomination a couple of pages back, along with some more apparently not seen by others. Why do I bother? ;-) | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs OMG @don_c55, I've been conflating you with a regular on the Rythmik Forum. So sorry! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw, yeah that Lennon album is a real glimpse into his Rock ’n’ Roll heart. It was originally marketed and sold as one of those "As Seen On TV!", real cheesy kind of things (the cover was a garish yellow). There is another guy whose roots are ju... | |
| Will a pair of Manley tube amps be a good match for Martin Logan ESL 11A's? The following may appear to contradict what I said about Modjeski's opinion of OTL's paired with ESL's: Roger is making his own ESL loudspeaker (which includes an 8" woofer for each side; another pair can be added, of course). But dig this: he is ... | |
| Cassette tape I bought a BX-300 new from Brooks Berdan in 1985 (when he was at GNP Showcase in Pasadena), and still have it. It's been repaired once, for a plastic part whose failure is common. I can't recall what that part is, but Michael Fremer makes referenc... |
