| Whats on your turntable tonight? I saw The Music Machine live in ’66, and they were really "tough". When I moved to L.A, in ’79, the first place I visited was Forest Lawn Cemetery, to pay my respects to Bobby Fuller (if you do the same, he is listed under his given name, Robert).... | |
| Anyone compared Sanders Magtech vs. McIntosh MC462/52 or MC611/01 with Magnepan 3.7/20.7? @jimmy_jet, your post brings up a few different matters:1- The Fletcher Munson Curve Erik alluded to (Google it for info).2- The power requirements of the MG3.7i. Highly dependent upon room size and acoustic properties (diffusion preferable to abs... | |
| Turntable Advice? @lewm, nope, the new Eclipse package is described on the SOTA website as "a low-vibration 3-phase brushless DC motor paired with a state of the art motor controller developed by Phoenix Engineering, known as the Condor." The Eclipse package retail... | |
| Turntable Advice? @keegiam, your worn-out motor provides you with the perfect excuse to spring for the new SOTA 3-phase DC motor, along with the Phoenix Engineering-designed motor controller made expressly for it, and the Roadrunner tach. | |
| List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid @millercarbon---Actually, it was the brown M & M’s. ;-) | |
| Mapleshade or Butcher Block Acoustics 19mm 13-ply Baltic Birch ply is stiffer and less resonant than a plank of solid or laminated Maple. Some drum companies offer shells fabricated from Birch (most notably the German-made Sonor, the Rolls Royce of drum companies), for a sound somewha... | |
| List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid I figured out how my CD/SACD player works, but I can’t get it to play my LP’s. Guess I’ll just throw them out. The music contained in the groove of a fair number of them is unavailable on CD, but since CD’s make LP’s obsolete I’ll just have to go ... | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste Exactly Erik. ALL their "reviews" sound like press releases, and have for many years. I met and spoke with Robert Harley when he was at Stereophile, and he seemed legit. But he, like William Barr, appears to have been drawn to the dark side and et... | |

| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? So have Brian Ding send you one Rythmik, and see if it's boomy. But here's something you need to be told: if you hear boomy sound from a sub in your room, the boom is more likely to be a result of the interaction of the room and the bass frequenci... | |
| Turntable isolation for bedroom floor If you have the bread, an isolation table from Minus-K, Herzan, Newport, etc. They isolate down to as low as 0.5 Hz. For a lot less $, a set of Townshend Audio Seismic Pods or Geoff Kait's springs will isolate down to 3 Hz. | |
| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? I'm trying to help you Larry, but you're not making it easy ;-) .If Rythmik didn’t sell direct-to-consumer, the price of their subs would be at least twice what they are now. It is not the only hi-fi company doing that, ya know. So does HSU, and m... | |
| anbody ever hear of an outfit called dynagroove records? Dynagroove was not a recording process RCA Records used, but rather an LP pressing technology, and a real, real bad one. Some RCA titles were pressed in a few different versions of RCA L:P's: Shaded Dog, Black Label, Red Label, and finally in the ... | |
| Anyone know how to set up Rythmik subwoofers on an ARCAM AVE550 receiver? Wait, what? Larry, you consider the Rythmik a "conventional" subwoofer and the REL not? You really don’t understand, do you?!How many times are you going to come on here and ask everyone whether you should get a Rythmik or a REL? If you’re having ... | |
