| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters The servo-controlled woofers in Rythmik subs are described as "stopping on a dime". I liken them to a high-torque engine---very responsive. They "track" the signal very closely; no overhang/overshoot, no bloat or plumpness. Lean and clean! | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers BEL (Brown Electronic Laboratories), NYAL (New York Audio Labs), Beveridge, Dodd Audio. | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Not a recording studio, but Sterling Sound Mastering in NYC have three pair of Rythmik F15 Direct Servo Feedback Subwoofers in their monitor systems, each with a 15" woofer. Killer bass. Rythmik owner/designer Brian Ding has been asked about the q... | |
| Sellers increasingly overgrade records Craig Moerer is a safe bet. I first bought from him out of Goldmine Record Collectors Magazine, way back in 1977---40 years ago! | |
| Hope for the blues.. Amen, onhwy61. Licks can be studied, learned, and regurgitated. Creating music that expresses deep feelings and truths comes from one’s soul, not fingers. A lot of the greatest Bluesmen were pretty rough and unpolished as players and singers, but ... | |
| High Pass (Brick Wall/Rumble) Filter Suggestions Just so you'll know, the Fmod filters are only 12dB/octave, not exactly "brickwall" ! | |
| Hope for the blues.. It may be just me, but I don’t believe it is advanced technical ability that makes for a great blues player (in regard to speed, in particular), certainly not that alone. Jazz perhaps, but blues to me is about phrasing, melodicism, lyricism, and a... | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? The Vintage musical instrument business (the drum sector, at any rate) is even worse. Absolute junk and trash described as near-mint. Add poor packing and shipping cartons, and what you receive is often un-restorable. One ends up buying only from ... | |
| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely I know what I would do: Rent an Econoline-type van (or even a minivan), and pack and drive the LP’s myself. On the west coast a rental is $20/day plus about a buck a mile from U-Haul, or $50/day with unlimited miles from Enterprise. | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? New York Audio Labs. As much for it's owner, Harvey Rosenberg, as for it's products. Characters like Harvey aren't common in business. | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters To state "a 10" woofer will not keep up with a 6" midrange. Too much mass." is to oversimplify the situation. For one thing, different 10" woofers and 6" midrange drivers have differing amounts of mass; there are some 10" woofers with less moving ... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters The two bass panels of the Magneplanar Tympani-IV and IVa are used by planar speaker fanatics as woofers for other loudspeakers. There is one guy on the Planar Speaker Asylum forum who has Martin Logan ESL mains, Tympani-IVa bass panels, and an Em... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Damn Swampwalker, I’ve been writing it wrong all this time? Sorry mate, I guess I thought it was perhaps a Louisiana or Florida-derived moniker, as it may be. Time to start wearing my reading glasses regularly! bdp24 refers to my favorite vintage ... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Oh, I too have done that swampwater., lopping off about a foot six months ago. When I auditioned for Peart Harbor's band, she asked me if I was willing to cut my mop, which I had anticipated. She's from the Punk/Rockabilly world (and was married t... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp I believe the amp Ralph (atmasphere) was referring to is the Music Reference RM-200. In it’s current Mk.2 form it retails for $7995, and can very occasionally be found used (it’s a keeper!) for around $3000. The original non-Mk.2 version goes for ... |
