| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? @roberjerman, oh how I lusted for a pair of the 2000A's in 1971! Their only competition was the ESS Transtatic, which also used the same, great RTR ESL tweeters---three of them. I have a pair I found in 1982, though they haven't been hooked up in ... | |
| Music reference/ audio research / vpi I think I remember Roger saying at an in-store seminar at Brooks Berdan’s shop in the early 1990’s that, though people believe tube brands all have their own distinctive, unique sound characteristics (Telefunken, Amperex, Mullard, etc.), the "soun... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Talk about old.....I saw Lindsey and Stevie in their San Jose garage band---Fritz---at the 1968 Santa Clara County Folk-Rock Festival, opening for The Electric Flag and the doors (lower case intentional---that's how they printed it). I don't remem... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? One thing to consider is that the speaker designer chose the internal volume of the enclosure based on the fact that it is ported. He would have probably used a smaller enclosure if he was using the same woofer in a sealed application. With the po... | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Beats me, Vinny. But the Audiomods is sure an interesting design, which appeals to me. Often times there is no clear "winner" amongst a group of arms (or anythings), but rather trade-offs. If I had or was thinking of going in the Rega direction, I... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? By the way, the Terminator is available with your choice of silver or copper internal wiring. ;-) | |
| Best cartridge under $1500. London Super Gold. | |
| JL Audio e112 or HSU ULS MK2 Dang it danimaz, I just pointed out to you that I never said I prefer Rythmik over Hsu! I "prefer Rythmik over anything life"? You lost me. And what constitutes "data"? No, I don’t have any data. For 75% movie use, I’m sure just about any ol’ sub ... | |
| Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60 For the Tannoys you may need only the Atma-Sphere S-30. And if you happen to see a used Music Reference RM-10 for sale first, consider it. 35w/ch, 25 if wired for Class A. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Allison Moorer: Mockingbird. A great singer, an unusually eclectic and interesting mix of songs, and fantastic production by Buddy Miller (as usual). Sorry LP purists, available on CD only (as far as I can tell). | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? The TransFi Terminator is developing a cult following amongst Lenco fanatics. Two Vintage arms with fans are the Sumiko The Arm (designed by David Fletcher) and the Zeta. Both are medium-high mass arms with great bearings and stiff, large-diameter... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 Dipole planar speakers generally sound more alike throughout a room than do point source speakers. A few weeks ago I attended the premiere demo of the new Magneplanar 30.7, and Wendell Diller deliberately did not provide seating, instead encouragi... | |
| I have question about frequency response and power issues James, you’re putting waaay to much stock in the numbers you cite, particularly the M1’s frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. In the bad old days (pre high-end), mass-market companies at least provided margins for those numbers---i.e. plus or minu... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Yeah pops, Springsteen’s heart is in the right place. I just wish he (and Elvis Costello, whose vibrato is WAAAY out of control) would calm the Hell down. Bruce is just "trying" to sing way too hard---his throat all tight, squeezing the lyrics thr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? An entire LP side containing one song, and that song having the title "Revelation", vividly brings back that era (1966-68). Alotta trippin' goin' on. Just about everybody I knew owned the 1st and 2nd Love albums, and a lot of San Jose groups inclu... |
