| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system Wow, a new pair of LFT-6’s! I’m gonna look into that.Bruce includes a chart of the LFT-8’s impedance curve in both the owners manual and on the ET site, and the inductance of the dynamic woofer does cause an impedance dip. But the panels themselve... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Fantastic Nick Lowe song, reubent. He has a bunch of 'em! Los Straitjackets have a new album entitled What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Los Straitjackets. The entire album is they performing Nick Lowe songs. LS have been serving as Nick's tou... | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? For a little better version of a roller bearing design than the Symposium (fine as it is), check out those of Ingress Engineering in Canada. Machined to Barry Diament’s specs. Cheaper too. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? All speaker design are compromises. Every listener has to realize his priorities in the sound of reproduced music, and then find products that have been compromised to achieve those same priorities at a given price point.Panel speakers like Maggie... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC There is a machinist in Canada making roller bearings very much to Barry Diament's specs---Ingress Engineering. For design details and ordering info, go to the company's website. | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Dick Olsher and Art Dudley, my two favorite contemporary reviewers.Speaking of U.S.A. designers and builders of "affordable" electronics, beside the great Mike Sanders of Quicksilver, let’s not forget Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere and Roger Modjesk... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system kot, I tried for quite a while to find a pair of the LFT-6’s, but never did. I had to settle for the LFT-4, which it's sort of a half-size version of the 6. It’s great for smaller rooms, as long as one has the usual distance from the wall behind t... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system A new review from Harry arrived today---HW Review #2 (07-03-2017). The subject of the review is the Modwright 150 Phono Section, but here a couple of quotes from the review regarding one of the speakers Harry listened to the Modwright through---ye... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! When you go to roll the Kallax on it’s casters, push near the bottom of it’s side, rather than the middle, or even worse, near it’s top. Perhaps because it has no back panel, the Kallax exhibits some "give" in the lateral direction. I pushed on th... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums For anyone owning speakers that already have outriggers attached to their bottoms, you can get individual Seismic Pods and bolt them onto the outrigger arms, at a considerable savings to the Podiums. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system No apology necessary Lew! To assume ignorance is not a bad idea ;-).Modjeski’s new ESL is sold as an integrated speaker/direct-drive tube amp---no output transformer in the amp, no step-up transformer in the ESL. A stand-alone direct-drive amp is ... | |
| Another Audiophile obituary Excellent overview of Aczel, Al. In his second act he was just so full of contempt and hatred, it made me uncomfortable to read.There was little point in his reviews after his "enlightenment", as all he said in them was, "Yes, this sounds just lik... | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer UPDATE! In the intervening years since my 2014 post above, I have learned that hardcore panel speaker enthusiasts recommend employing Magneplanar Tympani-IV bass panels as woofers, or even subs. There is one guy over on the Planar Speaker Asylum w... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Owners of the Mye stands like them not just for their front-to-back stabilization of the Magnepan panels, but also for their ability at reducing/eliminating the flexing of the MDF frames used in Maggies. | |
| Standing waves Conversely, I HATE music played and heard outside. My drumset sounds thin, flat, and dead, with no resonance, no low frequency fullness, no sustain. Music reproduction is a different matter, added room resonance, fullness, and sustain (all boom) v... |
