| Last stylus preservative...anyone still use it? Mr. M, was the Last migration confirmed as the cause of the coils going bad, or just assumed? A single swipe of the Last applicator brush doesn't contain much liquid, not enough to migrate all the way up the cantilever to the coils, I would think.... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil I, like shadorne, thought of saving empty bathroom tissue rolls, gluing them together (with some in the middle cut shorter, to create a channel for the ic's, speaker cables, and power cords), and painting them black or brown (black to match the ca... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? I recently took a magnet, and tested all the parts on the terminal plates of a pair of Tympanis. The parts appear to be the same as on current models, and here’s what I found: The speaker terminals (those short little tubes into which you insert b... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Oh yeah, Rodney is great live! I saw him on his The Houston Kid tour, at The Roxy Theater. He was accompanied by only a guitarist and bassist, the latter Jerry Scheff (Elvis Presley, T-Bone Burnett), the absolute best bass player I've seen live. A... | |
| Rythmik L12 or F12 Rythmiks are gaining a reputation amongst planar speaker owners, particularly Maggies. Most subs are designed for home theater, but Rythmik owner/designer Brian Ding is concerned first with music reproduction. The co-designer of the paper-coned wo... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations with Magnepan .7s Clear Day Double Shotgun. An 8' pair sell for $450 new, I got mine used for $250. Great with Maggies and Eminent Technologys. | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show I too think very highly of Mr. Vandersteen and his products. But if I was going to add a very expensive sub to an already full range loudspeaker, it would be the Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Sub---flat to 0 Hz! | |
| Speaker Placement woes All for a pair of Linn loudspeakers? Why bother? ;-) | |
| Rythmik L12 or F12 The Rythmik L12 and F12 have these things in common: They were both designed by Brian Ding, owner of Rythmik, a very knowledgeable and talented designer. They both have 12" drivers. And they both have the Rythmik Direct Servo-Feedback circuit buil... | |
| Porter Port break in ? Do ya'll have the isolated ground Porter, or the non-isolated? | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You I've been listening to both the Hogwood and Pinnock recordings of C.P.E. Bach's Six Symphonies for the past few months. I prefer Pinnocks version (greater "authority" than Hogwood), and am finally becoming familiar with the structure of the music.... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! It would be very close punki, but if you live by an IKEA you can take one of the Kallax inserts on display in the showroom and try to put it into an EKET cubicle. IKEA may eventually offer inserts for the EKET as well, which would be great. | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Dang, great post (11:28 pm) Jerry! | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Another way to gain insight into Brian Wilson’s talent, particularly the making of the Smile album (which was envisioned by Brian to achieve what Sgt. Pepper instead did, though Smile on a much higher musical level), is to read Paul Williams’ book... | |
| CD players = dead? If, as many are want to say, hi-fi is in service to the music (rather than and end in itself), then it’s simple. Do you have CD’s? If so, you need something to play them on. If you don’t have CD’s, now is a good time to start acquiring some---they... |
