| Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone? For the past few hours. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report For Roy Buchanan lovers who haven' yet discovered him, be sure and give Danny Gatton a listen (start with the WB 2-disc CD collection). He was a good friend of Roy's, both having come up through the Washington D.C. Blues/Rockabilly/Hillbilly scene... | |
| If I love Elvin jones I'll love.....? Tony Williams. | |
| Harbeth Question Danny Richie designed the GR Research OB/Dipole Sub (the R in GR is for Richie), along with Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio. Jim, have you considered building one of Danny’s OB speaker designs? OB speakers mate particularly well with OB subs, of cours... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? The biggest benefit of bi-amping is the filtering of the signal that is sent to each amplifier channel, and then to the speaker drivers. A 2-way outboard line-level crossover takes the full-range signal from the pre-amp, divides that signal in two... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! prof, keep in mind the IsoAcoustic rubber Pods are rated to only 20 lbs each. The company is promoting the Pods for use with sources, amplifiers, and monitor speakers, and the Gaia Isolators for use with floor-standing speakers, which often weight... | |
| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble jnorris, since as you say B & N's LP stock is of more mainstream music than that of a "real" record store, and mainstream music is more likely to have a digital ingredient than does underground music (as we use to call it), you may be right. Y... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Follow-up on Buddy & Julie Miller:I hadn't listened to their Written In Chalk album (their 2nd, from 2009) in a while, but did last night. Wow, it may be even better than their 1st! Great, great songs (most written by Julie), fantastic product... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Actually, slaw, the Buddy & Julie album is on CD, and afaik it was never available on LP. Their 2nd album, Written In Chalk, however, is. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! prof, you’ve discovered and proven the "secret" of mass-on-springs isolation: you want the weight of the mass on the springs to be as close to the spring’s capacity as possible, without going over it. Townshend offers the Pods in different models ... | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? zipost, four Atma-Sphere M60’s would be fantastic with your horn speakers! But to bi-amp, you’ll need an outboard active line-level electronic crossover to replace the passive speaker-level one included with the speakers. The First Watt B4 is a fi... | |
| TX audio stores in Austin or San Antonio? Whart, you left out The Cornell Hurd Band! Hurd's a great songwriter (Junior Brown has recorded a song of Cornell's) and bandleader, and always has great players on stage with him when he appears in Austin (he lives in Dripping Springs, just outsi... | |
| Vinyl from Barnes & Noble jnorris, I long ago decided to not buy any new LP that was made from a digital source. What's the point, right? Any LP that Barnes & Noble is selling is no different from the same title sold by any other retailer, assuming it's on the same lab... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great stuff as always, slaw. Listening to Buddy & Julie Miller’s 2001 album (on the greatly-missed HighTone Records label, catalog number 8135) tonight, I am once again reminded of how incredibly talented they are, and how much I love them. Gr... | |
| Where can I get my Tri-Planar burn in cable cooker What oldtime audiophiles used to do is attach alligator clips to the cartridge tags of an arm's wiring, being fed from the output of a tuner. Leave the tuner on for awhile, it's 1-2 volt output burning in the arm's wiring much more rapidly than do... |
