| Best Covers You can barely hear it, but before Kasey Chambers starts playing "No Time To Cry" (written by Iris DeMent) she says "This is my favorite song." It’s in my Top 3. https://youtu.be/boG_aCz3YEk?si=ySeL3rVklTIuVu2x Merle Haggard also profus... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? The Rythmik servo-feedback system also compensates for the increase in voice coil temperature, which all woofers suffer from, regardless of their excursion capabilities. Rythmik offers sealed subs with a range of woofer diameters: 8", 12", 15"... | |
| External crossovers for subs One benefit of an external crossover is that the high pass filtering is done before the signal enters the power amp. Removing low frequencies from the signal sent to the power amp results in less amp distortion, and more power for the speakers.... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! The Rythmik Audio plate amps include a ’Delay/Phase" control, providing continuously-variable adjustment of from zero milliseconds delay / zero degrees phase rotation up to 16 milliseconds delay / 180 degrees phase rotation. Such a control make... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album The recommendation by @sws237 of A Meeting By The River by Ry Cooder and V.M. Bhatt is very well deserved. The album was released on CD only by Water Lily Records in 1993---garnering the two artists Grammy Awards, and on LP in 2007. The Water L... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Very, very few @jim2. In regard to the servo-feedback subs of Rythmik Audio it is because RA is a direct sales (to consumers) company, so being able to hear a RA sub before purchase takes some work. The same is true for GR Research, with the ad... | |
| New In 2024 Due out October 18th is a 30th Anniversary reissue of Iris DeMent’s fantastic second album, entitled My Life. Originally released om CD only, this LP release had it’s lacquer cut by Kevin Gray at his Cohearent Audio facility, and is being press... | |
| Best Covers My point of view about songs is that the better the song, the greater the likelihood that every version of it will be at least good. To me, the song itself is akin to the script of a movie. Of all the versions of "That’s How I Got To Memphis" ... | |
| Best Covers Bonnie Raitt's superb performance of "Dimming Of The Day", aided by the song’s writer Richard Thompson. https://youtu.be/1o8M74ufF4Q?si=AWXwIdHLDc9OOePX | |
| Tune of the Day Lou Ann Barton’s recording of "Maybe", originally a hit for The Chantels. Lou Ann was the singer of Triple Threat, a trio with Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar only. She now tours regularly with Stevie’s brother Jimmie. This song is on her great As... | |
| Can anyone identify this equipment? Plant’s pose and attire look like those of a teenage girl. | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? And like REL subs, many of the Rythmik plate amps provide the ability to be connected to either a low-level source (a pre-amp) or a high-level one (a power amp). | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Yeah @mashif, older artists are leaving us behind in increasing regularity. The rest of this decade is going to be brutal. I'm encouraged that there are plenty of younger artists capable of taking their place. Maybe not on the level of a Bob Dy... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. @mashif: I too am grateful for having been born in 1950. But when I met and became acquainted with Billy Swan in the 1990’s (we both lived in Sherman Oaks, California, as did Johnny Ramone and Dave Edmunds), he told me about seeing Elvis, Scott... | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @cbrunhaver: The sensitivity measurement Atkinson got was for the original iteration of the LFT-8, reviewed in Stereophile way back in 1993. In 2007 the original woofer and crossover were replaced with new ones (and renamed the LFT-8a), which rais... |
