| A Different Solution for Cables emailists, it is Ralph Karsten of Atma-Sphere who feels a true balanced connection between two truly balanced circuits (most commonly the pre-amp output and power amp input, of course) mitigates or even completely removes the sound of the inter-co... | |
| Passive high pass filter - Marchand XM446XLR-A The Marchand crossovers are very well regarded in the hardcore DIY community. The maker can supply the owner replaceable "cards" to insert in the x/o, providing just about any x/o frequency and slope one desires. And most are available with balanc... | |

| A Different Solution for Cables sabai---I got Mogami's with XLR's just to use with my subs, where full-range good sound is not necessary. Since I have them anyway, I thought a comparison to Kimber Hero, Silver Streak, KCAG and KCTG would be interesting. Have you seen the video s... | |
| List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career Excellent instance and example of nothing but first-rate work in Los Lobos, tostadosunidos! By the way, I learned of them in a great manner: I went to see The Plimsouls at a little dive on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City named The Garage (it was lite... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Jim, if you mean a predecessor to the .7 itself, no, there wasn’t---there was no Magnepan MG .6. But there were predecessors to the 1.7 and the 3.7, those being the 1.6 and the 3.6. Both of those had xovers that allowed them to be bi-amped. The se... | |
| Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ? Kenny, my table is also non-suspended---a Townshend Rock Elite. Max Townshend incorporated his Seismic Pod into the last version of the Rock (Mk.7, I believe), a quartet of Pods that function as the tables suspension. The Rock Elite has a trio of ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? reubent---Did you get to see The Dwight Twilley Band live? OMG, the ultimate melding of Elvis and The Beatles! Lead guitarist Bill Pitcock IV (R.I.P.) was really great, getting just about the best guitar tone I’ve ever heard out of a Gibson ES335 ... | |

| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog It's been years since I've heard them, but I liked Sir Thomas Beecham's Sibelius recordings on EMI. I'm speaking in terms of music, not sound. But that area of Classical is not my forte, so my opinion is not of much worth! | |
| A Different Solution for Cables No I haven't sabai. But I will be soon, trying both Kimber Hero and Mogami Gold Studio balanced/XLR cables with both my main amp and speakers, and my subs. The XLR jacks make combining balanced cables a snap! | |
| Suggestions for a passive line-level high-pass crossover? sfall, I complete understand what you’re saying (except for one matter, that of you using a two channel power amp on each of your speakers, without a line-level xover), but you aren’t getting what I’m saying. First of all, the op stated he was loo... | |
| Tympani 1A's and AMPLIFICATION. Satie over at the Planar Speaker Asylum has a pair Tympani T-IV’s which he bi-amps, using a Crown 2000wpc amp on the T-IV bass panels! Magnepans recommended T-IV bi-amp x/o is non-symmetrical, low-pass 18dB/octave at 250Hz and high pass 6dB/octave... | |
