| Exceptional vendor support Bruce Thigpen has sometimes answered the phone when I have called Eminent Technology. Funny, he sounds like a normal guy (he's not, he's brilliant). I've gotten Roger Modjeski when I've called Music Reference too. And Keith Herron as well. I love ... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? It was Ry's idea to record Bop Til You Drop digitally, and damn was he pissed when he heard the results. He eventually heard a Water Lily LP, and couldn't wait to be recorded by Kav Alexander (on A Meeting By The River). Kav's recorder's electroni... | |
| R.I.P. Roky Erickson. It would be great to have The Sonics albums in better recorded sound too. I didn't manage to see them in their mid-60's heyday (I did have their records, though, and they sound SO bad), but I did see The Lyres in the 1980's, about as close as you ... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? In the rush to get CD’s to market in the format’s early days, record companies used the old production masters made for the pressing of LP’s. Those LP-mastered tapes had their low frequencies filtered out to make the records playable by the cartri... | |
| Where are the subs? Are you certain you're not actually hearing the first harmonic of each pedal tone? We don't hear 16Hz, we feel it. | |
| Worth of current system Less than the cost of my music library, about the same as my vintage drum collection. | |
| Preamp for Quicksilver Mid Monos On Audiogon right now are an LS-16 @ $1400, and an LS-17SE @ $1799. | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? Oh, and all the various Herbie's Audio Lab offerings. That's it, I think ;-) . | |
| What do you Read to learn more about Audio News? PS Audio has a nice little online magazine named Copper, subscription free. Good writing by industry insiders (Roy Hall, Bill Leebens, Ann Johnson, buncha others). | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? Oops, forgot roller bearings (Symposium Acoustics, Ingress Engineering, DIY). | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs @kythyn, if you’re pretty sure you will be sticking with the T-IV’s for the long term (I don't blame you, they're fantastic loudspeakers!), and want to stay within your $2,000 budget, consider getting a good high-power solid state amp that you can... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? @halecory, some listeners (Robert Deutsch and Art Dudley in Stereophile, VPI's Harry Weisfeld) have been very impressed with the IsoAcoustic Gaia isolators, many of the UK reviewers are enthusiastic about the Townshend Audio Seismic products, and ... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Oops. In rereading my comment above (06-02, 9:35pm), I see I stated "the two bass panels compromise a considerable square footage", when I of course meant to say they "comprise" such. | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums @initforthemusic , Ha, yup, I had heard that before! Diamond seemed SO out of place in that group of artists, pure showbiz schmaltz. I view him being there as Robbie doing not Neil, but himself a favour, bringing attention to Diamond in hopes the ... | |
