| Speaker jumpers There is one speaker designer---Magnepan’s Jim Winey---who uses steel jumpers! So yes Randy, at least one designer does not know how to build them. Steel---can you believe it?!Speaking of steel, the fuse holder in the Tympani-IV and IVa is made of... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Good decision. You get not only the Rythmik dipole-cancellation compensation shelving circuit, but a great sub power amp, x/o, and other controls (phase, damping). The Rythmik plate amp is available in a couple of iterations: 370 watt, 600 watt, a... | |
| Musical Connections There is a guy named Pete Frame who has a series of drawings entitled "Family Tree", which have been published in many of the UK music magazines. Each is a depiction of the "Six degrees of separation" in many musical groups and single artists, con... | |
| Did you know....? Yeah yeah, reubent! Chip and Carrie also have a couple of studio albums, good stuff. | |
| 901 series 2 speakers As has been said elsewhere, Bose’s primary assumption---that listeners at a live concert receive around 89% of the sound they hear not directly from the stage, but rather after being reflected off the walls, ceiling, and floor of the live venue, a... | |
| Sub(s) ideas to match Salk Silk Monitors Jim Salk has speaker models into which he installs a Rythmik Servo-Feedback 12" or 15" sub, and he also builds custom cabinets for Rythmik subs. I would imagine any Salk speaker would benefit from a pair (two is always better then one, no matter t... | |
| Skin Orgasms caused by music . The physical aspect in live music is almost always missing in reproduced, imo, no matter the cost of the system. Part of that is the spl at live shows featuring sound reinforcement, part is how much mid-bass is created by the venue itself. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music The Everly Brothers: Let It Be Me (also done beautifully by Dave Edmunds)Dolly Parton: I Will Always Love YouThe Kinks: Waterloo SunsetBob Dylan: Knockin’ On Heavens DoorThe Band: The Clock Struck One; Whispering PinesIris Dement: My Life; You’ve ... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Horacio, I just looked it up on the First Watt website, to refresh my memory. The B4 is a regular x/o, but there is a special version of it---the B5, made especially and specifically for full-range drivers with woofers in open baffles. Go to the F... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design I've said it before, and I guess I'll say it again: For lovers of Magneplanar speakers, there is another magnetic-planar that is much better suited for use with tube amps---the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. It's nominal impedance is 8 ohms, but the m... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Iris Dement's Lifeline album, in which she celebrates her Christian faith. Don't let that scare you off, non-believers! Remember how good Dylan's trio of Christian albums were? Audiophile favorite Alison Krauss does Gospel-influenced material, as ... | |
| Any one going to the new LA Audio show at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel Hey knghifi, being in Redondo and Hermosa, did you ever drink at Toe's Tavern, the Surf bar right on Pacific Coast Highway? I used to play there in an Instrumental Band (The Hillbilly Soul Surfers), the bass player of which is now in Los Straitjac... | |
| Isolation footers for amps Roller bearings. Ingress Engineering in Canada has a model that it sells for $85 for a set of three. | |
| Fav Consecutive Albums by An Artist It's a timeless topic! Many (most?) artists have an arc in the quality of their output, working their way up to their peak and then descending again. Sad but true. And many also have only "so" many good songs in them. Ray Davies ran out of musical... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Yeah Horacio, the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub isn't exactly cheap, though it is worth what it costs. And the First Watt B4 x/o for dipole subs is about the same price as a pair of those subs, $1500 list, discounted to about $1200.Rodman, the... |
