| 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... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs This is right up wolf_garcia's alley. | |
| 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 ;-). | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. snapsc---A good sub frees one to pick the loudspeaker most appropriate for one’s priorities other than, of course, the lowest frequencies. Though vehemently disagreed with by many here, even the brilliant Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere, I consider t... | |
| Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet Tom, I understand why you would say that about Steve, but the truth of the matter is this: After their breakup, Allison wanted to leave NYC, where the three had been living for quite a while. Steve wanted to stay, and for one reason only---NYC has... | |
| Which attributes do you value most? I believe tone and timbre (I’ve been hearing it mispronounced a lot lately. It’s "tamber") are synonyms, so I concur with schubert. | |
| Decca carts If by Decca you literally mean a Decca-labeled cartridge, you are taking a huge chance. They haven't been made for years, Decca itself selling the company in 1989 to Decca engineer John Wright. Even when new they were unbelievably variable in qual... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. snapsc---All good points.1- True. All dipole speakers, not just planars, need to be at least 3’ from the wall behind them, 5’ being even better. But then, many box speakers sound better out there as well.2- ET is a very small company that does no ... | |
| Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet Damn, that's rough miner. I now remember hearing about that years ago, and had forgotten. A lot of great artists are compelled to create from a place of deep pain. | |
| Singers do not sing the language they speak Ha, touche' Todd! Okay, the English that Rap singers use is a different language than the English I speak. | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. I find the idea of two different drivers doing the relay-race baton handoff in the midrange, that handoff being arranged via a x/o filter, a very undesirable situation. Fortunately, one needn't accept that scenario. The Eminent Technology LFT-8b's... |
