| Beach Boys Pet Sounds by Analogue Productions The Pet Sounds album wasn't recorded very well (sonically) to begin with. Veiled, weak bass, muted highs, etc. It doesn't matter which pressing you get, they all sound that way. Now, the Surfer Girl album, that's a different story! All the early "... | |
| Connecting a sub which way to go No audiophile runs the signal going to the main speakers and their power amp through the high-pass filter/crossover included in a sub. To remove the bass from the speakers and power amp (one of the main reasons for bi-amping, or adding a sub), you... | |
| Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt, on tour Ever since The Beatles appeared, Rock bands have been expected to be not just musicians and singers, but songwriters as well. The thing is, writing a song is a very different talent than performing one. Being a good musician and/or singer does not... | |
| 10' Power Cable for MC275 Signal Cable MagicPower, $149/10'. | |
| Altec A7 yay or nay? Do it! The missing 15" woofers are readily available, and were commonly the JBL D130 or equivalent. If the horns are missing the compression drivers that should be there, those too are available. You should buy the x/o from the seller, but the A-7... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Duke, I understand the subs in a swarm design all reproduce a combined left plus right (monaural) signal, even on material containing stereo bass (rare, but not unheard of). Is that correct? Is there any out-of-phase (left minus right), very low f... | |
| Get your First Watt SIT-3 now? The SIT-3 just got reviewed by Herb Reichert in the new Stereophile, so I’m sure they’re now all sold. Some of the First Watt designs get cloned, which Nelson Pass has no problem with, as long as it’s for personal use. If a schematic can be acquir... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana The Americana Music Association puts on its' own awards ceremony and show every year; that's the one to watch. Their relationship to The Grammys is very much like High End Audio's is to CES. A good source for info on Americana music and artists is... | |
| Where to go in Portland... Entering Music Millennium in Portland Oregon is a trip; it feels like a time machine has taken you back to 1969 (the year it opened), patchouli oil and all. Some of the clerks look like they’ve been there since ’69 ;-) . MM is now selling turntabl... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? There is one sub in a different class from all others, and that's not said pejoratively. The Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer is designed to be used from 30Hz down, a subwoofer for all other subwoofers. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Damn, all great lists and nominees! Missing are Big Joe Turner, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Albert King, and if whites other than Van Morrison are okay (;-), Richard Manuel, Steve Winwood, and Bill Medley. Of course no one here would say Micha... | |
| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? How many albums do you own?! Why not just count them all? Or count the LP's in one cubicle (if your racks are comprised of multiple cubicles), then multiply that number by the number of cubicles. | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. There is a guy on one of the forums with a fantastic speaker/sub combo: Martin Logan ESL panels, passed off to a pair of Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa bass panels (which make a great sub for ESL's), and finally to an Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary W... | |
| Best power amp for Martin Logan Expression 11a I looked up the Hegel. Damn, that is a LOT of power for an integrated! | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. The Finnish company Gradient made OB/Dipole subwoofers for both the QUAD 57’s and 63’s. Though the subs used dual dynamic cone woofers, they being employed in OB/Dipole fashion allowed them to blend better with the QUAD’s (because of the inherent ... |
