| Your absolute top ten favorite tracks. The first that come to mind are: - "Driving Wheel" by T Bone Burnett, on his Truth Decay album (Takoma Records). Get the version of the LP when it was distributed by Chrysalis Records (look for that info at the bottom of the back cover). Th... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Probably a pair of huge SoundLabs, powered by Atma-Sphere amps. If I had a ballroom-size listening room and lotsa dough, that's what I would get myself. The SoundLabs, anyway. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? In the Summer of ’68 (how many here were then not yet born? 😊 ) I put together my first system: a Garrard SL55 with a Shure M44e cartridge, a Fisher X-100A integrated tube amp, and Acoustic Research 4ax loudspeakers. Not a bad place to start. ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... By the way, one very popular after-market product for Maggies are the stands Grant Mye up in Canada makes for them. While many Maggie owners are perfectly content with the bases supplied by Magnepan, there are some owners who desire to maximize... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale @wolf_garcia: Aren't we all? 😉 I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore. But white hair's still better than no hair! | |
| A great video about Garth Hudson. I can completely relate @garebear! The album you refer to is The Band’s second, commonly referred to as the brown album (it’s self-titled). Their debut---Music From Big Pink---was released a year earlier, and caused quite a ruckus (Clapton ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Yeah, after fifty years at Magnepan Wendell Diller finally decided to sell out. I wonder what took him so long? 😉 Preliminary reports suggest the "X" versions of some Magnepan models---certainly the 3.7i, perhaps the 20.7i and even 30.7 as ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Excellent @mwinkc! What say ye now, @secretguy? 😉 | |

| New In 2024 @jafant: Yeah, I'm SO looking forward to the Sweetheart Of The Rodeo RSD release! Backing Jim McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and Marty Stuart (talk about a Supergroup!) are Stuart's band His Fabulous Superlatives, imo the current best band in the worl... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... It’s very easy to improve on some of the stock Maggie x/o parts. You can simply bypass the fuse block, and the holes in the x/o plate for the stock Magnepan speaker binding posts are the same size many other posts require. I installed Cardas si... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Ric---Thanks for the heads up on the Rich Hollis info. I know Rich has had interaction with Danny Richie for years. I used to read the AudioCircle Forums, don’t know why I stopped. The OB subs pictured in the TAS video are four of the GR Re... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... That Maggies sound as good as they do in spite of their crappy x/o parts is a testament to the quality of Jim Winey’s basic magnetic-planar driver (and ribbon tweeter) design. Hard-core Maggie enthusiasts have been upgrading the cross-overs in ... | |
| An examination of one of the greatest Pop songs of all-time. Below is the Jimmy Ruffin original. The song was written by the Motown team of William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean. The chord progressions of the song are almost as majestic and glorious anything J.S. Bach composed, and the bass pl... |
