| thoughts on phono stage Wow Simon, I can't wait to just find out what they are! Your Magico Q3's are mighty high performance, so your new speakers must be really special. Care to give us a hint? ;-) | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs George, I have an interesting recommendation for you. Welsh Rock ’n’ Roll guitarist/singer/producer Dave Edmunds (well known as producer of The Stray Cats, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Everly Brothers and others, and member along with Nick Lowe ... | |
| thoughts on phono stage Damn folkfreak, I need to come over to your place again just to hear your system with the new phono amp! | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Mogami Gold Studio. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements Just compare the design and construction of the Eminent Technology magnetic-planar drivers and their metal support structures to the Magneplanars! I like and own Maggies (Tympani-4a’s), but anyone contemplating the purchase of MG1.7i’s (or even 3.... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b's stacked arrangements Damn, what a great idea! What you have there is basically the discontinued LFT-6, which are impossible to find. I know, I’ve been looking for a few years. Doubled LFT-8’s has been done before (by Douglas Schroeder), but in side-by-side configurati... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs George, I am going to make some assumptions about your approach to "Classical" music (parens employed because Classical, though used casually in reference to "serious" music, is actually a style of composition and performance of a specific type an... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dhawks3001, "Loan Me A Dime" is a KILLER song! Boz’s debut album is pretty good, but "LMAD" is great, good enough to justify the purchase of the album. I saw/heard Boz first as the rhythm guitarist (playing a Gibson ES 335, and doing no singing) ... | |
| A shout-out to Manley Labs customer service Oops, greet, not great! | |
| Which magnepan The MG 1.7 has some stiff competition in the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, another speaker employing magnetic-planar drivers. The ET also contains a ribbon tweeter (10kHz and up) and dynamic woofer (180Hz and down), and is about the same size as the ... | |
| A shout-out to Manley Labs customer service Manley Labs has received some negative comments here lately, so it's nice to see some positive. When I was going to the Winter CES every January in the late-90s/early 2000s, EveAnna would great me like we were old friends, though we knew each othe... | |
| Highest detail cartridges I very much agree with sqlsavior's advice to get the Decapod version of the London pickups. It is available for the Gold and Super Gold models, the Jubilee and Reference models not needing the Pod, as they don't suffer from the plastic mounting br... | |
| $1000-1500 range for phono preamp... what to buy? I called Keith Herron to inquire about the discontinued VTPH-1mm (mm for moving magnet), and he happened to have one in Mint condition to sell (a trade-in, perhaps). Keith optimized the phono amp for my cartridges (lowest possible gain for my very... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? This is one reason I prefer line source speakers to point source. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oops, that was Ruth Brown! We did some Etta too, like "Tell Mama". The Blues has a lotta "mama" in it’s lyrics ;-). |
