| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Good thought, rodman, but what f456gt is in need of is not a set boost of 5dB at 20Hz (or any other single frequency), but rather a 6dB/octave slope to counteract the dipole cancellation of his subs, adjustable for different x/o frequencies. THAT ... | |
| Jimmy Lafave Passes. Another Austin legend, guitarist/singer/songwriter/drinker Evan Johns, died a couple of months ago, in Austin. He told me a guy was okay as long as he stuck to beer, which he drank profusely. During the week I spent with him in Atlanta recording, ... | |
| Tune of the Day I made "Green Onions" the ring tone on my cell phone. Every time it starts playing in public, people comment on how much they love the song. Me too! | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? As long as Magnepan is being discussed.....I contacted them to ask if they still have the name plate with speaker terminals and fuse holders for the very old Tympani IVa model. No only do they (the speaker was discontinued almost 30 years ago!), b... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners The Dahlquist DQ-LP1 provides an 18dB/octave (3rd order) active low-pass filter, and a 6dB/octave (1st order) passive high-pass filter. So no, the DQ-LP1 will not give you the 6dB/octave boost you need to counteract the dipole cancellation in your... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? I don't know how he is as a dealer, but NYC's Wes Bender sure has a great product line-up. | |
| Best Debut Albums Yes Len! First Buffalo Springfield, too. The Ramones and The Beat (Phil Collins group, not The Beat U.K.) debuts as well. Lots more, if I could just remember them. | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? It has long been considered common wisdom that OTL amps are great with the original QUAD ESL. When I had just gotten my first pair of the speaker, I asked Roger Modjeski at an instore seminar for his view on amps well-suited for the QUAD. He had w... | |
| Anyone else try this? George: "Let's go bowling!"Elaine's boyfriend: "I get no rush from bowling. Rock climbing." | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Yup Kenny, I've heard of Sorbothane pucks in place of springs in the HW-19, SIMS Navcom pucks as well, a set of which I still have. I'll be doing some experimenting. Roller bearings could fit in there! But that would leave coupling in the vertical... | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Wow, what a great post from Ralph/atmasphere. As always! | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? For a little more than the price of the 1.7i, you can get the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a better magnetic-planar loudspeaker. It requires less power, plays louder and lower, and is more dynamic. It also makes music sound more "there" than the 1.7... | |
| Best Debut Albums Absolutely, jafant. Hendrix is definitely the most influential guitarist of our lifetimes, by far. Whether for better or worse is a separate matter ;-) ! I just saw some pics of him on stage only a year before Are You Experience was released, play... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Kenny, maybe you could place the Townshend Seismic Bars front-to-back on your speakers, rather than side-to-side.Here's a question involving spring isolators, specifically with turntables using springs to isolate their floating platform (onto whic... | |
| Pass Labs stfoth---exactly correct. How could McCartney have been poor?! He’s by far the richest of The Beatles. But he knew he didn’t have to pay his band well---he could get anyone to play for him, no matter how low the pay, just for the exposure to a mas... |
