| Fuses fuses fuses Yeah, Roger Modjeski (and Ralph Karsten) are deaf. Amazing how they can, in spite of that, design and build such good sounding electronics (and in the case of Modjeski, ESL loudspeakers). Beethoven incarnate! And you, Geoff, you have designed and ... | |
| Merle & Iris I have been promoting Iris for years now, including here on Audiogon. "No Time To Cry" is indeed a masterpiece, perhaps the finest song written in the past half-century, and I’m not exaggerating. It was Merle singing her praises (a pun I’m happy w... | |
| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . The original Quad ESL was an early one (1957), but went out of production for years, then back in. I believe it is again out of production. How 'bout the Klipschorn? What I find interesting is the once-dismissed but now back in fashion designs---t... | |
| Low-Profile (Right-Angle), High-Quality 15A cable for PS Audio P3? Nathan, did you notice that the Fatwyre cable pictured is a Cardas? | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Modjeski tested the resistance of the Hi-Fi tuning fuses in both directions, and found a difference of 0.038 milliohms. I don't know about 5%, but 0.038 milliohms is an EXTREMELY small difference. I have no doubt that fuse directionality proponent... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker? Jim, the late Brooks Berdan was an Audio Physic dealer in the late 90’s-early 2000’s, and his wife Sheila runs the shop now. They get AP speakers back as trade-ins occasionally, so give her a call and ask her to let you know when they do. The shop... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Great movie. I think Fonda bought the rights to the screenplay, putting a lot of work into getting the movie made. He was a lifelong bleeding-heart liberal, as people like my Pa saw him. He was also in The Grapes Of Wrath, another movie sticking u... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Oh well bigkidz, Danny Gatton is in a class by himself, as I have said here a few times. Vince Gill, himself a very fine player (not to mention singer) nicknamed him "The Humbler". Gatton is just ridiculous!milpai, it was of Knopfler I was speakin... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? The price of the Mye stands is not inconsiderable (though not exorbitant), so if one wants to get an idea of the improvement they can provide to the sound of a pair of Maggies before ordering a pair, find a way to brace the top of the speakers. On... | |
| How many LP's I'm very interested in the Trans-Fi arm Terry, as the designer/manufacturer pictures it on his website with a London Reference pick-up mounted on it. How cool is that?! I few of the Decca/London owners on the Lenco users site swear by the arm too.... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses I’m bound to regret this, but just can’t resist. So, on one side we have Ralph Karsten and Roger Modjeski (as well as almarg and other posters here)---two of the best living audio engineers in the world (I obviously place value in "authority"), an... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Chet Atkins thought highly enough of Mark's playing to record an album with him. I love his guitar playing, but don't think much of his singing or songwriting. Being a great guitarist is enough! | |
| Mark Knopfler's Guitar Collection Very cool. Rather than being a "tour of his guitar collection", it is more an examination of musical playing styles, with a handful of his guitars used to demonstrate them on, and an explanation of what makes one guitar preferable or more suitable... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! Was he weaving a magic carpet? | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system sbank's suggestion has merit. Guitar Center sells the 3’ Mogami Gold Studio balanced cable (with Neutrik XLR’s) for $39.95, the 6’ for a few bucks more. Recording studios use them for their mics. If you don’t like it, take it back. No audiophile b... |
