| Image/soundstage and punch/bass Yup @whart, and ET's Bruce Thigpen is still exploring new territory. Check out his TRW-17 Rotary Woofer; output down to 1Hz! | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? @robert53, @viridian, and @folkfreak, I sent them an email, and received a very quick reply. They don't have a storefront, and are not open to the public. I inquired about dropping off a table/arm/cartridge, and was told we would have to meet at a... | |
| Great cheap LP's are still out there! @viridian, you wanna talk old? I saw The Beatles, The Beach Boys with Brian playing bass, Hendrix with Mitch and Noel, The Dead with Pigpen, and The Who with Keith Moon (on the "A Quick One" and "Tommy" tours). I became acquainted with Billy Swan ... | |
| Does anyone know anything about the audio dealer True Audiophile ? Hmm, folkfreak (who lives in Portland, and has a very high end system) didn't mention them to me when I was at his place. Hope it's legit---nice to have expert turntable/arm/cartridge setup available locally. | |
| Image/soundstage and punch/bass Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Magnetic-planar drivers (similar to those in the smaller Magnepans, but push-pull rather than single-ended, and in a metal frame rather than glued to MDF) from 180Hz up, a sealed enclosure 8" woofer for 180Hz down. They ... | |
| 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... |
