| Out goes the Old, In comes the New! Yeah, spoilers on Hondas. As in the spoiler doesn't change the design of the car---it's engine, transmission, suspension, the technical things that determine performance. The spoiler is just a conceit, like "tweaking" that does nothing to improve ... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? noromance, so the idea behind genre-organization is that you regularly find yourself desiring to hear music of a specific genre? Being able to flip through albums and see the covers is very appealing, I must admit. But I barely have room for my bo... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice Great, thanks man. I'll be in touch---Eric. | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker George, Roger happened to mention the Acoustat speakers in his 90 minute presentation at the 2015 Burning Amp Festival, talking about why the Acoustat amp was discontinued in favour of the amplifier interface. Roger actually makes a direct-drive a... | |
| Out goes the Old, In comes the New! No amount of "tuning" is going to correct what's wrong with the cheap Crowns. Have a real electronic engineer look at a schematic, he'll tell you immediately. Those Crowns were tried by the guys on the Planar Speaker Asylum, and it wasn't pretty. ... | |
| Milk Carton Kids Yeah, and sing a little harmony if called upon. I learned how to sing one part in a 3-part fugue when working with a classically-trained songwriter. Hardest thing I ever had to learn, and gave me even more appreciation for Brian Wilson's genius. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? noromance, record store style is tempting, but it takes up MUCH more space than does bookcase style storage. As for genre-organizing, I don’t like to think of music in those terms. Is Dylan Folk? Rock? Folk-Rock? Americana? How about Ry Cooder---B... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker The situation with component systems is that you have to buy the engine (the power amp) and the car (the loudspeaker) separately. The transformer taps allow the same engine (amp) to be used with different cars (speakers).Audiophiles have historica... | |
| A History of Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Thanks Bill, greatly appreciated---Eric. | |
| Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet Not Dark Yet is in my Amazon cart. | |
| Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation?? Planars ruined me for box speakers, no matter how good or expensive. The 3-panel Magneplanar Tympani, just about all ESL’s, magnetic-planars, and ribbons. Cones are okay for bass (the best almost as good as the bass panels of the Tympani), but tha... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice Yer a lucky feller clio! I still come to the Bay Area occasionally (my Cupertino High School 50th anniversary get together is next month!), and plan on making it to Roger's place to hear his direct-drive ESL's when I do. Sounds like a "done" syste... | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings No offense taken ctsooner. Your point is a fine one, no argument from me. I guess I could have put imo after "the best speaker value in all of hi-fi", but I thought that was assumed! Of more interest to the op may be Harry Weisfeld's opinion of th... | |
| VPI Classic 1 isolation upgrade The Townshend Pods are about a hundred bucks each from England ($150 in the U.S.), and you need nothing else besides a nice stiff, non-resonant shelf between them and your table. You definitely want to get rid of the MDF---it’s nowhere near stiff ... | |
| High level speaker amp out to RCA Oops, the last sentence of my first paragraph above reads "It is his opinion (referring to Ryrhmik designer Brian Ding) that high-level hookup is preferable." I meant to say line-level (pre-amp), not high. |
