| Mogami wire quality? Right you are gh, it's $39.95 for a single, not a pair. I got the 15' version for $54.95/ea, and 25' is only 5 bucks more. | |
| electrostatic vs dynamic sound If it is the room that sounds bad, changing the speakers won't cure that. Is the floor carpeted? One characteristic of line source speakers (planars) in their lack of ceiling bounce (limited vertical dispersion), but the floor is usually closer to... | |
| Subwoofer Decision The "G" version (paper cone woofer, courtesy of GR Research’s Danny Richie) of the Rythmik F12---man, you are hip! Excellent sub for music. The paper cone is slightly lower in moving mass than the aluminum cone (good for music), the aluminum a lit... | |
| Isolation stands: snakeoil? willemj, unfortunately my basic CD player won't read my LP grooves. | |
| Martin Logan speakers I don’t know if it’s true in the case of ML’s ESL panels and their dynamic woofers, but the perception that the woofer in a hybrid speaker isn’t as fast as it’s panels is often more a case of the woofer not "stopping" when the panels do, rather th... | |
| Mogami wire quality? Even if one wants to pay more for boutique cables in certain applications, the Mogami Gold Studio balanced cables are an insane value at about $40 for a 3' pair (from Sweetwater, Musician's Friend, Guitar Center, etc.). Great for subs, surround so... | |
| Nokie Edwards Separate sets, no jamming. It was like Classic Coke and New Coke. | |
| Phono Stage for KEF LS50 Wireless. Ideas? Recommendations? There is a Croft phono stage that just popped up here on Audiogon, asking price $599. Keep it British! | |
| Nokie Edwards I took a cruise to Mexico in the early 2000's, with The Ventures and Los Straitjackets playing in the lounge every night. All the original guys except for drummer Mel Taylor, who is R.I.P. In his place on the drum throne was his son! | |
| acoustical stuffing / sound dampening subwoofer cabinet REL BRITANNIA B1 subwoofer Yup, Rythmik woofers are very good. The 12" is offered in two versions---with an aluminum cone, or a paper one, your choice. For really high performance, the Rythmik woofers can be used with the company's dedicated servo-feedback circuit plate amp... | |
| TT mats handyman has received recommendations for just about every mat available. Time for him to try one or more of his choice, the only way he'll find one that gives him the sound he's looking for. As for the why, some people like the way their bare al... | |
| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why There is a third choice---the MI, Moving Iron. Grado and London (Decca) both have devoted users. They have their own unique sound, different from MM and MC. And high output, so no extra gain stage or step-up transformer necessary. | |
| speakers with balls Maggies have great mid and upper bass (they reproduce the upright bass really well), so as johnto suggested add a couple of REAL good subs, and you can rock to your heart’s content. Maggies will play pretty loud, but you had better have a pretty b... | |
| Music reference/ audio research / vpi @fanotunes, I too had the ARC LS-16/RM-200 combination (though my RM-200 is a Mk.2), and replaced the ARC with an EAR 868L. Muchas betta. The EAR is a real tube pre-amp ;-). | |
| Nokie Edwards My first favorite guitarist. |
