| Stereophile Profiles Carpets and Curtains again .... John Atkinson has just announced he is stepping down as editor of Stereophile. He is staying on as technical editor I believe, and will continue to perform his bench tests on the components under review. | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @ivan_nosnibor, the amplifiers in the Rythmik plate amps are not bandwidth limited, they are "normal" Class A/B (the A370 model) or H (the H600 model) full range amplifiers. It is the filter settings chosen by the user that determines at what freq... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? Ivan, while the controls on the Rythmik Audio plate amps (Danny sells the Rythmik A370 amp for use with his paper-cone version of the Rythmik 12" aluminum-cone woofer, but the amp was designed and is built by Brian Ding of Rythmik) indicate that l... | |
| Magnepan's new LRS? There is also a write-up over at the Planar Speaker Asylum by both show attendants and one owner of the very-new LRS. | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? Good point @lewm. It is not a symmetrical situation; if a difference between two competing components---in this instance power cords---is heard, the system is then ipso facto transparent enough to reveal that difference. On the other hand, if a di... | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? @folkfreak, I was speaking specifically about the reproduction of the very highest frequencies, where a super tweeter usually operates, where bad recordings are their worst, and our ears most sensitive to any nastiness. At frequencies below that, ... | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? @folkfreak, "over energized the top end". Now THAT is a good way to put it. So it was the super tweeter than was responsible for that sound, not the old Magico? I had heard Magicos before (I don't remember which model---it was at Brooks Berdan Ltd... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? Ivan, there is one sub that is usable up to 300Hz---the Rythmik Audio/GR Research OB/Dipole. You can check it out on the GR and Rythmik websites (though a result of the collaboration between GR’s Danny Richie and Rythmik’s Brian Ding, the sub is m... | |
| Importance of power cable for Turntable? Thanks @folkfreak, I’ll take you up on that offer! I found your recent comments (in Audiogon's Virtual Systems) about the changes in the sound of your system to be both interesting and encouraging. I’m used to a different sort of speaker sound (pl... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far @firstnot, what did you think of Magnepan's new entry-level model, the LRS? | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? The Rythmik A370 and H600 plate amps (found in the F12, F15, F18, and F25 models) are available in versions (the PEQ, not the XLR) that provide both line level (on RCA jacks) and high level (on binding posts) inputs. REL subs of course have a grea... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Perhaps if Victor Von Frankenstein had better tuned his monster's neck bolts, the creature wouldn't have sent out such bad vibes. | |
| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable Bad things happen to good people; Paul was a very good one. I’ll be using his Double Shotgun speaker cables until the day I too die. Thanks Paul! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @n80, God I love Little Walter! I have a copy of the Chess LP containing "Hate To See You Go", haven’t heard The Stones version. There’s a really good harp player living in San Jose by the name of Gary Smith whose album Up The Line (CD only) is su... | |
| The music’s the thing but.... Brother schubert, I said there were parallels, not equivalents! I was speaking of your "I find the best done material is when it's done for love first and foremost" statement. In Classical, period-informed musicians and singers specializing in Bar... |
