| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ieales, agreed, but the Modulus pots (Noble?) were not that precise. I have no interest in resetting the channel balance every time I adjust the volume! | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @analogluvr, too fiddly. | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? Coming at this topic from a different direction, there are some albums I have to possess just for one song; it’s a bonus if the entire album is good. Here are some of those songs:- "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys. On their Pet Sounds album, a p... | |
| Which Songs Make Good Ringtones? I have "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s on my cell. It never fails to elicit smiles when it plays in public. Wicked guitar playing by Steve Cropper. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes, oh yeah Roger, now I remember Dick Olsher's review of the RM-9 Mk.2. I found Olsher to be a reviewer from the Gordon Holt school (a school I approve of ;-), and he loved the amp. I believe his closing line was something like "Who needs ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! @ghosthouse, Yeah, that's a good one. Also on Pet Sounds is the sublime "God Only Knows", one of my three all-time favorite songs. It has not only strings and brass, but also woodwinds. And unlike The Beatles who required George Martin to write th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @uberwaltz, I saw AC/DC around that same time. Did Thin Lizzy open for them? I didn't (and don't) care for TL, but AC/DC I love to death! They alone are why I require a pair of speakers that play real loud ;-) . Well, they and Beethoven. | |
| Magnepan 3.6qr VS 1.7i Head over to the Planar Speaker Asylum and MUG (Magnepan Owners Group), where there is a lot of discussion by longtime Maggie owners about your very topic. | |
| MK II & MK III New! Improved! Some companies offer updates to current models only occasionally, others as a regular means of generating income between new model introductions. Another designation is SE, for Special Edition, often the final version of a model. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I have for years heard accusations from audiophiles about TAS and now Stereophile requiring advertising from any company wanting one of their products reviewed. I have never seen any proof of that, and have to point of that though I have never see... | |
| Sound Anchors and Magnepan The sound anchor stand DOES provide an improvement over the stock feet, but supports the 1.7 at only it’s bottom end. The Mye stand, made in Canada, has left and right-side bars that extend about 2/3 the way up the panel, anchoring the panel to th... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! @ghosthouse, yup, I'll be posting my thoughts. As a teaser, there are plenty of examples of them used in a way of which I approve ;-) ; Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, Roy Orbison, Randy Newman, The Lovin' Spoonful, and George Martin immediately come ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! I went through what I guess could be called a Progressive phase. I had the debut album by The Nice, Keith Emerson's pre-ELP band. I even saw them live in late '68. My favorite Rock 'n' Roll guitarist Dave Edmunds had his pre-solo band Love Sculptu... | |
| Ordered Magico S5 MK II traded S5 MK I - Thoughts - Feedback - Anyone here them? Ah, I see fsmithjack. I was assuming you were local to Scott Walker. I guess that's not the way things work anymore! | |
| Dylan Though I love him, I've seen Dylan live only twice. I prefer to experience his kind of music privately, for some reason. I didn't see him until the very late 80's or early 90's, and he and his band (the 3-piece with G.E. Smith on guitar) were just... |
