| 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... | |
| For older guys In the mid-70’s I was playing in a Jump Blues/Swing band, and the singer was quite a character. He had a pompadour (in the 70’s?!), wore suits casually, had a 78 collection, and smoked reefer. You know, a "cat". He proposed we do Sinatra’s "That’s... | |
| Anyone else try this? Why no anesthesia Geoff, why?! My sister is afraid of not waking up from it, but she's neurotic. | |
| Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63 Not to be contrary georgehifi, but the Rythmik 8" sub is no faster than their 12" or 15". All the Rythmik subs are servo-feedback designs, with the behavior of the woofers controlled by the s-f circuit. They all sound very similar, the Rythmik des... | |
| Pass Labs Amen, Bill. Musicians eat cheap so they can buy expensive vintage instruments. It’s unfortunate, but a lot of them listen to music on computers these days, and I don’t mean hirez digital streaming. It is because music is SO important to us that we... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? No Kenny, I just learned of the IsoAcoustic company and their line of speaker bases, the GAIA, and now Iso-Pucks (sold individually for $30 apiece, and intended for components, not speakers) . The Pucks were just introduced last month at an indust... | |
| For older guys Another guy similar to Perry Como was Andy Williams, who made some music I really like. They both had songs by the best writers around at the time. Andy's "Can't Get Used To Loosing You" and "Moon River" (written by Henry Mancini, of course) are f... | |
| Best Debut Albums Oh yeah, the 1st Jeff Beck, good one! Deja Vu has also reminded me of the great C,S &Y debut album. | |

| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Hear, hear schubert! I am not familiar with Van Alstine's "Vision", but in the 80's I had his redesigned Dynaco PAS, and it was better than my ARC SP-3! | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard I unfortunately can’t think of a single "Pop" album I love both musically and sonically. Those two qualities seem to be mutually exclusive in Popular music, at least as far as my taste in that music is concerned. Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman ... |
