| Esoteric DV-60 Mods of the Esoteric DV-50S have mentioned in this thread. Can anyone who has had his or her DV-50S modified provide info on who did the work, and perhaps what the mod consisted of? | |
| Dual vs single sub I have been provided conclusive evidence of Duke's (audiokinesis) integrity. Due to my postings on the subject of OB/Dipole subs (particularly the one by GR Research/Rythmik Audio), I was contacted by an Audiogon member concerning their use with p... | |
| Vibratory or Not? I think it was Peter Moncrieff who many years ago in his IAR publication proposed the notion of there being vibrations both good (Brian Wilson concurs ;-) and bad. All agree the vibrations of music itself are of the good sort (though Buddy Rich ha... | |
| Direct 2 Disc @pgaulke60, the musical content of a lot of direct-to-disk LP’s has not been their primary attraction (particularly true of the Sheffield’s), but their sound quality. As J. Gordon Holt once said, all too often the better the recording the worse th... | |
| Vibratory or Not? ".....watch your parking meters." | |
| New in 2019 Just announced by New West Records for later in 2019, a new Buddy & Julie Miller album entitled Breakdown On 20th Ave. South. Can't wait! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Transcontinental by Jedd Hughes. Just a kid at the time of it's release (2004), but already a real fine songwriter and singer. Good songs (chord structures, melodies), lots of good harmony singing (unfortunately not heard in most music these days)... | |
| Entry level turntable for my son A VPI HW-19 (build like a tank) with a Jelco or Rega arm. Available for under a grand. | |
| A well-produced and recorded classical guitar LP? I second folkfreak's nomination of the Eliot Fisk Bach & Scarlatti disc, recorded by Mark Levinson (it may be hard to find, and not cheap). Also keep a lookout for any of The Romeros albums on Mercury Records. Easy to find are the Michael Hedg... | |
| Open Baffles with Subwoofers @unsound and others interested, check out the OB/Dipole Sub offered in kit form (only) by GR Research in association with Rythmik Audio. Similar in design to that of Linkwitz, but with superior 12" drivers, H-frames, and the Rythmik Servo-Feedback... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects Anti-Cables, Kimber PBJ. Used Kimber Hero if you get lucky. | |
| corner speakers When I would go up to my Grandfathers cabin (which he himself built) just south of Lake Tahoe in Kyburz, CA (beautiful country!), I’d be out swimming or fishing in the American River, hiking in the woods, climbing trees, or doing other fun stuff, ... | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @onhwy61, one of the benefits of the decline (imo) of Rock ’n’ Roll music in the early-mid 70’s was that it drove many of my contemporaries and I to follow the bread crumbs of the music’s history back to it’s origins. I heard for the first time Ba... | |
| Infinity IRS Betas - proper amplification A real good amp for woofers is the Electron Kinetics Eagle 2, if you can find one in good working order (they are by now pretty old). | |
| An Excellent New Read: "A Brief History Of Why Artists Are No Longer Making A Living..." @jburidan, imo the one exception to your otherwise fine contention is that of Paul Simon’s Graceland album. Not because he merely pasted his voice onto the music of the South African musicians he recorded and called it his (though that is a valid ... |
