| Speaker With Least Room Interaction Well @samgar2, both Ivan and Duke are right. So, do you want the least amount of bass eigenmodes ("standing waves" at the frequencies related to the room dimensions) possible? If so, you want an OB/Dipole woofer/sub (which does not create modes in... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion @whart said it all.By the way Bill, The Record Collector in Hollywood was the best Classical music LP store I’ve ever been in. Domestic, import, the owner had it all, and was an expert in the music. The best non-Classical was Village Music in Mill... | |
| Tune of the Day Something I neglected to mention about Jim Lauderdale, something that might break down any resistance some have to listening to someone as Country as Jim (I realize a fair number of Rockers have an aversion to the genre):When I saw Lucinda William... | |
| The best music in 2018 Hey schubert, do you miss as much as I the critiques of Classical music in the now-defunct Fanfare Magazine? I learned a lot about the music and its performance in those reviews. | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Yup @slaw, in fact I also picked up an Aries 1, which incorporates a lot of improvements over the HW-19. Separate heavy motor pod, no suspension (an ideal candidate for the Townshend Pods---in the works), 2" thick MDF chassis with a layer of steel... | |
| Tune of the Day While listening to the Jim Lauderdale track, you should hopefully become aware of the feeling that the players are "holding back". It’s a hard thing to describe and quantify, but it’s what separates the men from the boys in the area of musicianshi... | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Yeah @slaw, the HW-19's subchassis really needs to be removed from the surrounding base. I'm getting some Townshend Seismic Pods to put under the subchassis of my Mk.3 (with Aries 1/TNT-4 platter and bearing), the stock spring suspension removed. ... | |
| Tune of the Day Sure do, @slaw. New West Records had a great sale back in November, and I picked up the Hiatt LP as well as the new ones by Rodney Crowell and Richard Thompson for $13.99 each, plus the Court Yard Hounds (the two sisters from The Dixie Chicks) LP ... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Excellent, prof, can’t wait to hear if it lives up to our high expectations. The designers (who appear to be very sharp young men) really took their time, making every effort to get it perfect. I can't see a thing they missed! | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Agree 100% @prof. I registered on the Degritter website, and have received regular email updates on the status of the cleaner ever since. Many of them included the announcement of a slight increase in price, but nothing like the latest!At around $... | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 The Naim Aro arm (unfortunately out-of-production) is a favorite with Linn Sondek owners. | |
| Tune of the Day "As If We Would Never Love Again" on Jim Lauderdale’s Onward Through It All album. A great, great song (chord progressions, melody) from a "perfect" album (not a single bad song. Jim is a master songwriter, his songs having been recorded and made ... | |
| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 Brooks Berdan may have mounted more ET arms on turntables than anyone else in the world. His original choice for the arm was the Oracle Delphi, for which he created a mod eventually incorporated into the table by Oracle itself (a round block of st... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I can't speak for anyone else, but the LP's I bought from Tom Port are no quieter than those I cleaned myself. But then, those LP's were acquired from Tom many years ago; perhaps his current cleaner does a better job than the one he used on my LP's. | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I lived two blocks from Tom Ports apartment in Sherman Oaks in the late-80’s/early-90’s, and bought some LP’s from him (the original German pressing of Magical Mystery Tour is a must!). I was pretty surprised by his hi-fi system, and not in a good... |
