| Why are so many Infinity IRS beta systems for sale the past year ? I've seen a number of pairs RS-1b's lately too. I sold mine because I heard the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a speaker I could get new for less than I could sell the RS-1b's for. Since the LFT is the better speaker, it was a no brainer! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Slaw, the John in my last post is John Prine. | |
| 50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles Good info, whart. I have used the Teac 2340 (just like the 3340, but with 7" reel capacity to the 3340’s 10-1/2") in a small studio I built and engineered in, and it is a good sounding recorder, almost as good as my Revox A-77, believe it or not. ... | |
| Most overrated bands defientboomerang, that's the thing---I consider The Ramones a Pop band, not a Punk one. They're in with Weezer and other bands with Pop hooks, but Garage energy. | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) The Carvers at $15k, the Eminent Technology at $2499---one sixth the price. The $12,501 difference will buy a swarm of nice subs! Or a whole lotta music. | |
| Best music of 2017 I can't keep up with Marty Stuart's releases, and I try. His Fabulous Superlatives are SUCH a great band. Guitarist Kenny Vaughan was in Lucinda Williams' band in the early 2000's and has a fine solo album, and Harry Stinson is not only an excelle... | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation Lew, I should have posed it as a question rather than a statement. As in: "Is a mono switch the same as a mono cartridge?" I ask because the stereo pickup creates it’s output signal from both the horizontal (monaural) and vertical (stereo) modulat... | |
| Most overrated bands I think The Ramones are UNDER-rated. | |
| Linestage search You just missed an 868L, which went for $2850 last week. A good companion for the 509’s, balanced/XLR outputs via transformers. | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation London has no info on their website about their mono cartridge, for some reason. I read about it elsewhere, and it is a true mono only, horizontal-modulation only sensing design. It has no magnet & coil for the vertical! Why would that cause h... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yep slaw, Iris and Greg are husband and wife. John's just a good friend and collaborator. As for Lucinda, I was so happy when I heard Little Honey---she's back in form! | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection roxy54---I have just finished reading the chapter in Bob Dylan In America in which Sean Wilentz discusses Dylan’s "Love and Theft" album. Bob is so productive I haven’t been able to keep up with all his releases (plus the nature of some of them do... | |
| A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner? Terry, Vic has experience with his arm and my cartridge, the London Reference, so I’ll be asking him for recommendations and advice. His system’s speakers are an OB design, as are mine, partly---OB/dipole subs, planar speakers. You have the Transf... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I know what you mean, reubent. Prine is a fine songwriter, and a singer with his own identifiable style and sound, rough as it is. But he, like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan, is really difficult to sing harmony with. His phrasing is ju... | |
| Where is Bruce Moore Ah, right you are jwm. Close, but no cigar! |
