| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers Compare them both to the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, which combines the strengths of both, while mitigating their shortcomings. | |
| What makes tape sound better than vinyl ? Doug Sax proved the superiority of direct-to-disk LP's over tape recording way back in the early 70's. Take a direct mic feed from a band playing live, record it onto the best tape machine you have (even the best in the world, that of Water Lily's... | |
| Malcolm Young...... Rhythm guitar, a dead art. After Mike Bloomfield, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Green, and finally Jimi Hendrix became the model for guitar playing, no one was content being a mere rhythm guitarist anymore (except John Lennon). Malcolm was the best! | |
| Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord "Dave's not here man" ;-) . | |
| Album Recommendations for Magnepans Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book album comes to mind. One of the Maggies greatest strengths are their punchy mid-and-upper-bass (most Maggies don’t play the 20Hz-40Hz bottom octave of deep bass), which this album is full of. Stevie plays drums on the ... | |
| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? To add to Geoff's statement, there is no guarantee that every channel of a multi-track recorder in a studio was in phase with every other channel, whether because of a phase reversal in a microphone or in the recorder's electronics. Listen to the ... | |
| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? Do I really have to state the obvious?: To put music that was recorded in the analog domain onto a CD or SACD, the signal MUST be digitized. There are some fine sounding CD's and SACD's, so to say it is a stupid idea seems odd to me. | |
| Greatest rhythm sections dhpeck---Not to be contrary, but rhythm section is a term for the drummer and bassist (and sometimes pianist) in a band, the band's guitarist not being part of that section. There are exceptions, such as Steve Cropper of Booker T & The MG's, w... | |
| Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology) Mitch, the F25 is indeed an excellent sub, and will work quite well with the ET LFT-8b. I have a pair of F15HP’s (DIY version---I made my own 4cu.ft. enclosures), which have a single 15 woofer to the F25’s dual 15’s. Same sq, but the F25 has great... | |
| input impedance load on a cartridge. Keith Herron is a proponent of "infinite" loading of mc cartridges. Gauging by atmasphere’s excellent post above, one can conclude Herron pre’s are also stable designs. Loading of mm and mi cartridges is a different matter. | |
| How much difference could a simple Banana plug make? Amateur, willemj? Rather pejorative! Consumer is the accepted term. | |
| $3,000 Planar Speakers Apogee’s require an amp with some serious current delivery, and the ability to drive a 1 ohm load. You can forget about tubes in that case, Mitch, except perhaps the Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2. | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Some electronics made for home/audiophile use are recommended by their designer/manufacture to be used in balanced mode. There are other reasons for balanced operation than merely to drive long runs of interconnects. Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere i... | |
| $3,000 Planar Speakers Mitch, it was I who recommended the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. They actually retail for only $2499, an incredible bargain. Harry Weisfeld of VPI recently said the LFT has the best midrange of any speaker he has ever heard. I wouldn’t go that far, ... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. There is an absolutely incredible album from 1997 that few people are aware of: Greetings From Planet Love, by The Fraternal Order Of The All. The album’s title and the group’s name should give you a hint as to what the music and lyrics sound like... |
