| Whats playing on your system today? I saw Lucinda on that original "CWOAGR" tour (at The Wiltern Theater, I believe), and it was then I realized I would never again be able to see her in a small room again. My girlfriend and I always went out to see her play around L.A. at the time ... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers So @tjbhuler, when you play a recording in which the bassist, guitarist, and pianist are playing a song in the key of G flat, you can "tune" your MGA Tunable REV 6 signature speakers so as to make the song F sharp? (warning: it’s a trick question ... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? @vinylfan62, actually, I have bi-amped, in the past (first time in 1972) and currently. It's nice that your Bedini 25/25 (I ran one for years with my old QUAD ESL's) and 100/100 work great for you (knowing Bedini, they probably have the same gain)... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Fans of Magnepan are buzzing about the debut of the LRS (Little Ribbon Speaker), $650/pair! If you have 3' to put behind each panel, there is no reason to settle a box speaker. All quasi-ribbon drivers mounted on a flat panel (no box resonances to... | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers We keep seeing this assertion that "yesterday's paradigms" "don't fit" in todays marketplace. The Vandersteen and Magnepan "paradigm" is just as valid as it was before the mythical "low mass" revolution didn't happen. That's just a bumper sticker ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey @boxer12, a coupla days ago I received notification of the Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" 20th Anniversary Tour. It’s coming to Portland Oregon, and general admission tickets are only 30 bucks, I believe it was. There were also... | |
| My 2019 RSD haul................ Only one today, because I thought it might sell out. Apparently not, ’cause when I got to the far wall in Music Millennium (where the RSD releases were), over half of the 60 copies of the Dylan they ordered were still sitting there. The line to ge... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? It depends on the design of the loudspeaker. It is my understanding that Magnepan recommended the two power amps used to bi-amp their old Tympani T-IVa be of equal power rating (and gain, of course), and chose the speaker’s cross-over frequencies ... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K Oops, I meant to say the MG3.7i’s big brother, the 20.7i. The 3.7i retails for around $6k, the 20.7i for about double that. They need an amp like the Sanders Magtech though, so you have to factor the cost of that in. Sanders makes a second version... | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. Ooh, good one @tls49! I love the two Wilbury albums, and went to the tribute show for Roy at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. Barbara Orbison was there, and looked stunningly beautiful. | |
| Beautiful Vicoustic's flagship Wavewood panels for room tretment. Anyone? @slaw, I too have the PI Group diffusers in my sights. PI offers two models, a 2-D and a 3-D, priced $20 apart for a box of four (two pair of mirror-imaged diffusers). And they are CHEAP! However, they are not 13-root designs, but something of the... | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. I just remembered that great scene in Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, when Slim Pickens is dying as Dylan's "Knocking On Heavens Door" plays. | |
| Great guitar 'breaks" (as opposed to solos). Hey @whart, Redd must live in Austin. Last time I was in town I went into a little bar to get a drink as soon as we arrived, and there was a drumset and couple of amps on the little stage. The band was on break, but when they came back Redd was th... | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. @tablejockey, hey The Foothill Club was a great one! I played a set there in the late-90's, backing Specialty Recordings artists Don & Dewey, label-mates in the 50's with Little Richard and Ritchie Valens. Hardcore Rockabilly clientele---they ... | |
| Does anyone use wood for vibration control? Some DIY sub builders swear by 13-ply Baltic Birch. |
