| 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... | |
| 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... |
