| Reco for a low power amp to try Take a look at the low-power tube amps Music Reference is now offering. Triode, pentode, single-ended, push-pull, designed and hand-made by Roger Modjeski. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Thanks Al and Chris. I really gotta learn how to do that ;-) . | |
| What area or country do you live in ? @schubert, Robert Fulton's incredible Ark Records recordings were of local amateur Minneapolis choral groups and church organists. Sonically, they are amongst the best recordings I have ever heard, and are musically charming. | |
| New in 2019 Ha, good one @slaw! Weezer are my favorite "new" Rock Band, sort of The Ramones meet AC/DC. | |
| Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why? For those wanting true balanced connections (for all the benefits afforded, including the elimination or at least minimization of cable artifacts), know that beside all of Ralph Karsten’s Atma-Sphere products, others doing balanced correctly are R... | |
| Best rock song of all times Great choice @mapman! There is a version of "Revolution" (perhaps taped on a soundstage for TV broadcast) in which they combine elements of the slow and fast versions; it’s really cool. | |
| the Garrard 301 plater is concaved. The original Well Tempered platter was also concave, intentionally by design. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger, there is a current Audiogon thread inquiring about the Dynaco ST70. I posted that for the same money one could get a used RM-10, a far better amp. If you want, find the thread and let the op know why ;-) . | |
| Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables Bi-amping correctly (with a filter removing the bass from the amp powering the midrange and/or tweeter drivers) requires two pair of cables of course, and some bi-ampers like to use heavy gauge on the woofer, lighter on the m/t’s. Bi-wiring can pr... | |
| Best rock song of all times I don’t even know what "Rock" means. I know what Rock ’n’ Roll means, but my definition is different from that of younger Rockers, to whom Little Richard (Paul McCartney’s role model, along with Buddy Holly), Chuck Berry (John Lennon, Keith Richar... | |
| The best tweeter design The fact that I prefer line sources to point sources makes my choice of ESL’s and ribbons almost unavoidable. But then there are some loudspeakers with a long vertical row of dome tweeters, which creates a line source. I still prefer planar line s... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Earl Palmer and Willie Dixon! | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Chris, I’m picturing you on your knees in front of your 18" high turntable shelf, cleaning your stylus and records. Adds to the "ritual" aspect of LP playing that analog detractors are fond of citing ;-) . | |
| Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why? Ralph, can you explain why on Earth some designers and makers of consumer electronics go to the trouble and expensive of providing balanced connections (if not circuits), and then don't do it "correctly", to conform to the AES standard? To do that... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ralph, your champagne anodizing is a MUCH better version than that of ARC. When I got my SP-3, D51, and D75, I was disappointed with the rather garish gold anodizing of their faceplates. Your champagne is more like that of Conrad-Johnson, understa... |
