| Tune of the Day Lou Ann Barton’s recording of "Maybe", originally a hit for The Chantels. Lou Ann was the singer of Triple Threat, a trio with Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar only. She now tours regularly with Stevie’s brother Jimmie. This song is on her great As... | |
| Can anyone identify this equipment? Plant’s pose and attire look like those of a teenage girl. | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? And like REL subs, many of the Rythmik plate amps provide the ability to be connected to either a low-level source (a pre-amp) or a high-level one (a power amp). | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Yeah @mashif, older artists are leaving us behind in increasing regularity. The rest of this decade is going to be brutal. I'm encouraged that there are plenty of younger artists capable of taking their place. Maybe not on the level of a Bob Dy... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. @mashif: I too am grateful for having been born in 1950. But when I met and became acquainted with Billy Swan in the 1990’s (we both lived in Sherman Oaks, California, as did Johnny Ramone and Dave Edmunds), he told me about seeing Elvis, Scott... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @cbrunhaver: The sensitivity measurement Atkinson got was for the original iteration of the LFT-8, reviewed in Stereophile way back in 1993. In 2007 the original woofer and crossover were replaced with new ones (and renamed the LFT-8a), which rais... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @kennyc: The title of the thread was made in relation to what PS Audio had to say about planar-magnetic drivers, which they choose to employ as tweeters in all their loudspeaker models. In their promotional literature for their speakers, they c... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @cbrunhaver: You raise some justified issues, and make some excellent points. The shallow crossover filters employed in the ET LFT-8 (1st-order) are also used by Magnepan in their planar-magnetic loudspeakers (PS Audio’s Paul McGowan’s refe... | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton is a virtuoso guitarist who isn't nearly as well known to the general public as he should be. Vince Gill nicknamed Danny "The Humbler." | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables If anyone is interested in an Aries with the TNT-5 platter I described above, Audio Element in Pasadena, California just listed one here on Audiogon. The shop is owned and operated by a great guy, Brian Berdan, Brooks' son. Brian worked in Bro... | |

| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Great to hear from youse guys! @mashif: I saw the original lineup of Band in 1969, at the Berkeley Community Theater, a great sounding room. Their second album had just been released, an album that changed my life. I really relate to the st... | |
| New In 2024 I'm green with envy @slaw! I've been jonesing to see Gillian and David for years, but they never make it to the Northwest. | |
| Building crossovers @arya: Danny at GR Research has several guys who build his speaker kits (including crossovers) for those lacking the tools, skills, and/or desire to do it themselves. I imagine having one of them build you just a crossover is possible, so conta... |
