| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... Then there is the issue of not all ears being equal. Just as in all other human endeavors, training and experience matter. As Michael Fremer has reported, when the results of blind tests come in, the very top and bottom performers in a group are "... | |
| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Great, thanks Terry. I've been in touch with Vic, and it's on! | |
| dynamic classical which isn't boring? It is my opinion that those raised on Rock but now wanting to get into "Classical" (just so you'll know, Classical is actually one era/style of "serious" music, though commonly used as the name for all of it), would do well to start with the Baroq... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? PM sent Bob. | |
| Sanders 10e I heard the Sanders ESL's at the Newport Show in 2015, but I don't remember if they were the 10c or 10e. They sounded fantastic, my favorite speaker at the show. In fact, the best sounding demo of any show I've been too, including those playing In... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters I simply enjoy music on my car system. I'll bet a JL Audio sub would allow me to enjoy it more. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Well inna, the obvious question is, have you heard the ET LFT-8b? To have an opinion as vehement as yours posted above the answer should be, of course, yes. I'm going to make the wild guess that you have not."He probably have (sic) not heard many"... | |
| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Hey Terry, could you tell me how far above the top surface of a table’s platter is the top of the Terminator? And how far to the right of the platter’s center spindle does the arm's support structure extend? I’m looking to see how the arm will sit... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Richard Vandersteen has an interesting twist on servo-feedback woofers in his subs, He employs feed-forward (in contrast to feedback) in them, compensating electrically for the known non-linearities in the behavior of his woofers. | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters The Rythmik Direct Servo Feedback Subwoofer system is a very sophisticated design (patented, for what that’s worth)---many subs are nothing more than a woofer and an amplifier in a box---that accomplishes a number of goals for it’s designer, PHD B... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Very few people take Eminent Technology LFT-8b speakers as seriously as they do Maggies, for a reason of which I am unaware (I own both, as well as QUAD ESL’s). Harry Weisfeld of VPI, from a recent blog posting: "The ET LFT-8b may have the best mi... | |
| Upgrading Turntable suggestions I carefully watched Brooks set up a lot of tables, and the basics are very well known by most here. But getting the last nth degree of accuracy is the tough part. My eyesight isn’t so hot; Brooks had and Brian has some really fine tools for precis... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor jmc, is the Mint turntable-specific, or arm-specific? I haven't checked it out yet, gotta do that. Does it require the exact location of the arm's pivot be known? There is one arm---the Helius Omega---with the vertical and horizontal bearings havi... | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... A good lesson in why letting buyers come to your house in a bad idea. Imagine if he knew where you live?! One advisable idea with local sales is to allow the buyer to audition the component in his system, to insure it is operating to his satisfact... | |
| A few versus that connect you........what song is it? I don’t don’t recognize the line slaw, but I am reminded of a couple from my favorite, outside of Hank Williams, lyricist:"You’re an idiot, babe, it’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe"."We’re all idiots, babe, It’s a wonder we can even ... |
