| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II As always, Neil provides the definitive evaluation and comparison 😊 . | |
| Jeff Beck, Blues De Luxe I’d love to be able to hear the Truth album without having to hear Rod Stewart’s voice. Jeff didn’t hesitate humiliating Rod when I saw them on stage together on Jeff’s first U.S.A. tour (it was well-deserved). But I did get to hear Nicky Hopkins ... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Bi-amping provides the most improvement when the source signal (most commonly the output of a pre-amp) is divided into bass frequencies for one amp, mids and highs for the other. The dividing is done with an electronic crossover which receives the... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I do somewhat similar thought experiments all the time, including with members of The Beatles. In the documentary on The Band, George Harrison states he instantly felt a kinship with Robertson, hearing in Robbie’s guitar playing an emphasis and fo... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @onhwy61: I don’t know if I’m the world’s biggest fan of The Band, but I’ll admit to being amongst those who are. Speaking of which, in the latest Stereophile Newsletter (August---2nd Edition), there is a great story on and interview with m... | |
| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? Magnepan's sensitive and dynamic?! I like Maggies as much as the next guy, but those are not two adjectives I would ascribe to them. In fact, Maggie detractors have long found them lacking in exactly those two areas. They are in the range of 82-84... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @gavman: Yep, that’s what it is. I hope you didn’t jump to the conclusion that my wanting to see Birth Of A Nation implies I agree with the sentiments it espouses! Does wanting to see a Nazi propaganda film make one a Nazi-sympathizer? Not necessa... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. @seanheis1: Though reviewer Corey Greenberg loved the LFT-8 ("These are MIGHTY fine speakers, rivaling many well-known models at considerably higher prices. In terms of detail and midrange clarity, they are some of the most impressive speakers I’v... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". One movie I still need to see is Birth Of A Nation. One of my longtime faves is To Kill A Mockingbird, which just yesterday I again watched for the first time in years. One of my sisters recently reminded me of an incident that occurred lon... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems I don’t remember who, but someone is making racks using Baltic Birch plywood instead of solid maple or other woods. Anyone with metal racks (such as those of Solid Steel) can have a local woodworker cut a sheet of Baltic Birch ply into shelf-size... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @onhwy61: Oh, it would have been completely different, of course. But then that would be a different song. Am I supposed to defend the Southern white view of the Civil War?! I didn’t write the damn song, I’m just describing it’s creation. I... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". When in the early-to-mid 1970’s mainstream Rock music became unpalatable to myself and others like me (I won’t name any of the bands and solo acts I’m speaking of), an underground movement took place in which we began following the breadcrumbs ... | |
| DSP Active Crossover Ah, I see. I haven't kept up with new models from Rythmik. A pair of HX800's makes a lot more sense than four A370's! | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Oops, I meant to say Western Swing above, not Country Swing. Hey, when I wrote that at six something this morning I hadn't been to sleep yet 😊 . | |
| DSP Active Crossover @jaytor: Give Danny Richie a call. He’s been involved in some serious investigations into high transparency DSP projects and products. He found the sound of the digital crossover in the Linkwitz LX521 loudspeaker seriously lacking, but there are m... |
