| Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY? GR Research offers many OB speakers, but they are offered as kits only. You get the drivers, x/o parts, baffle damping material (NoRez), and baffle making plans. You then either make the OB baffles or buy them from one of the woodworker/cabinet bu... | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" by Darlene Love. A magnificent Phil Spector production. | |
| Filter Slope Question The A370PEQ version of the Rythmik plate amp includes 12dB/octave high-pass filtered (at 80Hz) outputs on RCA jacks. You can set the sub’s low-pass filter to 24dB (at either 50 or 80Hz), then combine the A370PEQ’s 12dB high-pass filter with your p... | |
| Most overrated bands Great post, Bill (whart). In the early 2000’s, Dave Alvin (The Blasters and solo) said in an interview that he never "got" Brian Wilson or The Beach Boys, but that he just recently had an epiphany regarding him. I found that funny, as after having... | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening Actually, many of the plate amps on Rythmik subs contain binding posts that take the output from a power amp (high-level signal), using the amp as it's source. The ones that don't are those that contain XLR inputs---the XLR2 and XLR3 model amps. B... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Well! ;-) I have heard Beck only superficially, live opening for Dylan (eh), live on TV (not good), and playing on record store sound systems while I browse (I haven’t been "engaged"). I know songwriters who like his stuff, so who am I to disagree... | |

| Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions Clear Day Double Shotguns, a great choice. Paul has been dealing with health issues, and closed his business temporarily. I don't know when he is reopening, or if he perhaps already has. Do a Clear Day search here for more info. | |
| Filter Slope Question If you get the "G" version of the F12---the F12G, obviously!---Danny Richie of GR Research (the reason for the G designation in the sub's model number) is a great source of advice. So is Brian Ding of Rythmik, but he can be hard to understand over... | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? I remember seeing pics of those live vs. recorded demonstrations onhwy61, in the 1960’s/early 70’s AR ads and sales literature. They were done in NYC, at Carnegie Hall, I believe.By the way Bose 901 fans, the "double acoustic space signature" effe... | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening I believe jayctoy meant to say he bought a Rythmik F12G. The G designates the GR Research 12" paper cone driver, the aluminum-coned Rythmik version being named just F12. The aluminum-coned woofer is said to play louder than the paper-coned version... | |

| Can't we all just get along? "who" brings ;-) . | |
| Decca carts Ah, fourwinds, you went through the Warren Gregoire "interview" ;-) ! A 12" unipivot sounds like a fine arm choice; London’s throwing a lot of mechanical energy back into whatever it’s mounted on, and can cause any but the best bearings to rattle.... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner The claim of groove damage by US cleaners came, I believe, from VPI. But then, they sell a line of vacuum record cleaners, don't they ;-). |
