| Nominees For Worst Recording Of All Time All the Sonics' albums. Great Garage music (have you heard "The Witch"? Inspiration for The Ramones), but terrible recordings. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? Subs that have a continuously-variable phase control makes integrating all the subs much easier (Rythmiks do), but as long as you can move the subs around physically it's doable. Another way to do it is to have a pre-pro with sub management capabi... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll More importantly to me, Dave Edmunds, after having had triple bypass surgery, announced last year he was retiring. Yet Keith is still standing! | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? @Elizabeth, what, no Magnepan MG 30.7?! | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? @noromance, if someone has a non-Decapod Decca in their system and thinks it sounds lifeless, something is seriously wrong!Decca users have for many years packed the space between the top of the metal cartridge body and the underside of the stock ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? The last time I heard an upright bass (being played by Todd Phillips, an old friend from San Jose. He's worked with David Grisman, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Joan Baez, Ricky Skaggs, Del McCoury, Stephane Grapelli, Taj Mahal, too many others to lis... | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass Both HSU and Rythmik Audio make midbass models, to use, say, between a pair of mini-monitors and big subs. The Rythmik (two midbass models) contain a pair of 8" woofers. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? @bassdude, rather than selling your RELs and getting the SWARM, you can keep the RELs and add two more subs to your room. They don't necessarily have to be the same subs, or even RELs, but of course you still want good ones. | |
| If you only had... The Beatles original butcher cover Yesterday And Today LP, sealed. ;-) | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Keith Herron worked in the pro sound field for years, designing and making solid state electronics exclusively. He now makes solid state power amps for the consumer market, but when it comes to phono and line stages chose to go with tubes. He did ... | |
| Great cheap LP's are still out there! @slaw, the feeling is quite mutual. "Get a room you two". ;-) | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass Yup @whart, and ET's Bruce Thigpen is still exploring new territory. Check out his TRW-17 Rotary Woofer; output down to 1Hz! | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? @robert53, @viridian, and @folkfreak, I sent them an email, and received a very quick reply. They don't have a storefront, and are not open to the public. I inquired about dropping off a table/arm/cartridge, and was told we would have to meet at a... | |
| Great cheap LP's are still out there! @viridian, you wanna talk old? I saw The Beatles, The Beach Boys with Brian playing bass, Hendrix with Mitch and Noel, The Dead with Pigpen, and The Who with Keith Moon (on the "A Quick One" and "Tommy" tours). I became acquainted with Billy Swan ... | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? Hmm, folkfreak (who lives in Portland, and has a very high end system) didn't mention them to me when I was at his place. Hope it's legit---nice to have expert turntable/arm/cartridge setup available locally. |
