| subwoofer question......what size sub ? m-db and willemj, a sub and the room it is in are a system, they can not be separated. The listening room itself is a speaker enclosure, in a way, and the subwoofer "swarm" is a way to deal with room modes acoustically.Low frequencies being omni-d... | |
| New Vinyl Bill, your reasoning makes perfect sense; that hadn't occurred to me! Planet Waves came out on Asylum Records, and is Dylan's lone non-Columbia release. I haven't gotten the MFSL LP yet, but at Amoeba Records in Hollywood found the Japanese Sony S... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? @willemj, Kenny is employing the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub, a very unique, untraditional bass reproducer, in a manner unlike a "normal" monopole sub. I suggested the Dual Core so that he could continue employing the subs as separate left a... | |
| subwoofer question......what size sub ? Kenny, which version of the Rythmik A370 plate amp did you get for your GR Research OB/Dipole Subs? Whether the regular with RCA's only, or the XLR option model, the DSPeaker Anti-mode can be inserted between your pre-amp and the sub plate amps. D... | |
| New Vinyl Not that I'm excited at the prospect of spending a hundred bucks on a single LP, but if Mobile Fidelity is going to all that trouble I wish they would do it with an album that contains music I like! I've long wondered what the H*ll their criteria ... | |
| Klipsch FII's with mods vs. FIII's @ozzy62, did you build out your GR Research Super V’s yourself (with one of the H-frame flat packs that were available), or buy them from someone else who had done it? I didn’t go for the Super V (I’m a diehard planar man), but did for the OB/Dipo... | |
| Takes one to know one Thanks t, I'll look for it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @slaw, thanks for the report on the new version. And thanks to you, reubent and all other Lucinda fans for getting me back into her. I loved her from the first time I heard her s/t Rough Trade album in 1988 (damn, 30 years ago!), through Sweet Old... | |
| Takes one to know one THAT one I missed, tostadosunidos. | |
| Takes one to know one @2channel8, I saw Carney when it was in the theaters, and thought Robbie did pretty good. Levon appeared in a number of movies, doing a fine job in Coal Miner's Daughter (playing Loretta Lynn's daddy) and The Right Stuff (playing the plane mainten... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners OMG @pegasus, the Infinity 1001! That was my first pair of what I guess would be considered high end speakers. It’s price in 1971 was $139/ea, at that time about as much as I had the money for. It’s big brother, the 2000A (which contained the then... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners @pegasus, the Decca/London's are also incredibly dynamic. Think The Who with Keith Moon live! I liken the D/L sound in comparison to others as like the difference between a direct-to-disk LP and one pressed from a tape recording. They have that he... | |
| Magnepan mmg vs .7 . Real world experience opinions requested If you’re not married to the idea of Magnepans, look into the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. It too is a planar-magnetic, but while the smaller Maggies are single-ended (magnets on only one side of the Mylar), the ET’s are push-pull, which affords low... | |
| Any new speakers that sound like infinity r.s. 2.5s? Eminent Technology LFT-8b. I prefer it to the RS-1b’s I previously owned. Push-pull magnetic-planar midrange (180Hz-10kHz!) driver, ribbon tweeter, 8" sealed dynamic driver. An outrageous bargain at $2499/pr. VPI’s Harry Weisfeld considers the LFT... |
