| Pass Labs Au contraire Schubert, I have been paying attention, and I was indeed speaking of the U.S. as a country. We all know the rich have been getting richer and the poor poorer since Reagan instituted his failed trickle-down economic policies. Even the ... | |
| MMGs Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Like the Maggies, a magnetic-planar, but with a couple of advantages. A single m-p driver reproduces 180Hz to 10,000Hz (!), a m-p tweeter above 10k, an 8" dynamic woofer below 180Hz. The woofer integrates very well with ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Speaking of Danny Kirwin.....I love, love, love Fleetwood Mac’s Kiln House album. It came out around the same time as Moby Grape’s 20 Granite Creek, which I love in the same way. The both have a relaxed, easy-going (not "trying too hard") roots Ro... | |
| Vibration control inside a cabinet Sorbothane will give you isolation to around 10Hz---not low enough imo. Get a set of roller bearings (Ingress Engineering in Canada has the best deal on them) and some of Geoff's springs for isolation to 3Hz. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Dang, this is where the cool kids hang out. I’ve always liked Son Volt more than Wilco, both in songwriting and singing. But they’re both worth listening to of course. If you haven’t heard them yet guys, give The Continental Drifters a listen. It’... | |
| Pass Labs Damn Schubert, you sure know how to ruin a party ;-). Growing up in the richest country in the world (are we still?), it's hard to not be spoiled. Not to be cold-hearted, but why do starving people keep having more kids? The organizations trying t... | |
| Passive high pass filter - Marchand XM446XLR-A Great, thanks Al---Eric. | |
| Right angle AC plug adapter? jmc gave you the scoop on the best right angle adaptor (Voodoo), but if you want to spend less Audioquest also makes a pretty good one. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Good point, aniwolfe. And though probably not called for by the LFT-16a, using a moderately powered ss amp on the dynamic woofers of the LFT-8b and the same in a tube amp on its m-p panels is optimal. The panels themselves present an about 11-12 o... | |
| Passive high pass filter - Marchand XM446XLR-A Great question Mitch, one I need the answer to as well! I've done it on a single-ended amp (my Bedini 25/25, for use with Quad 57's and subs), but not a balanced amp. Hopefully someone with more technical knowledge than I can help us out. I have a... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Rocktown---While almost always true, their actually IS one way to subwoof a dipole loudspeaker successfully---with a dipole subwoofer! Gradient made one for the QUAD 63, and there is now one available for all planars. In fact, for all speakers in ... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Great minds think alike, aniwolfe. Take a look back at my 4-19 post. I also have the larger LFT-8b, a ridiculously under-owned design that completely clobbers the Maggie MG1.7. Some prefer the LFT-8 to even the 3.7, which sells for more than twice... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Cardas still makes his RCA jacks and plugs of brass! The WBT Nextgen and Klei use copper and/or silver, and with anti-eddy current RCA "barrels". | |
| Pass Labs If you have nuts it's not big bucks ;-). | |
| Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic You're right Al, the interview was of interest. I underestimated the woman! That pic of Dave and she in between the pair of WAMM's was taken at my dealer in San Jose, John Garland Audio, one of the few dealers with a pair of WAMM's available to au... |
