| Did you know....? No Chris, but I do know that that album is one of, if not the, most over-rated albums in history. In my opinion, of course! Amongst The Beatles albums, I much prefer both Rubber Soul and Revolver. | |
| Bad vinyl Wolf, I long ago bought a piece of acrylic and had it cut into a 12" circle with center hole, to use for setting anti-skate. Then I learned that a blank disc is inappropriate for such a task, as anti-skate compensation includes the friction and in... | |
| Autographed Albums One autograph I would like to have is that of eccentric pianist Glenn Gould. I love eccentricity. | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Two of my faves have already been mentioned---Al Jackson and Duck Dunn of The MG’s, and the two drummers of The Funk Brothers (the Motown house band) plus their best-in-the-world bass playing partner, the one-and-only James Jamerson.To those I wou... | |
| Balanced v unbalanced input to Ayre preamps 600 ohms is still the standard in recording studios, at least according to Tim de Paravicini, designer of the EAR-Yoshino electronics and many pro studio installations (including Pink Floyd's London one). | |
| Autographed Albums Carlene's Musical Shapes album is fantastic! Rockpile is one of the three best bands I've seen live (the other two being The Band and NRBQ), and she and they were a great combination.I have a couple of autographed albums, but my favorite autograph... | |
| Speaker jumpers There is one speaker designer---Magnepan’s Jim Winey---who uses steel jumpers! So yes Randy, at least one designer does not know how to build them. Steel---can you believe it?!Speaking of steel, the fuse holder in the Tympani-IV and IVa is made of... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Good decision. You get not only the Rythmik dipole-cancellation compensation shelving circuit, but a great sub power amp, x/o, and other controls (phase, damping). The Rythmik plate amp is available in a couple of iterations: 370 watt, 600 watt, a... | |
| Musical Connections There is a guy named Pete Frame who has a series of drawings entitled "Family Tree", which have been published in many of the UK music magazines. Each is a depiction of the "Six degrees of separation" in many musical groups and single artists, con... | |
| Did you know....? Yeah yeah, reubent! Chip and Carrie also have a couple of studio albums, good stuff. | |
| 901 series 2 speakers As has been said elsewhere, Bose’s primary assumption---that listeners at a live concert receive around 89% of the sound they hear not directly from the stage, but rather after being reflected off the walls, ceiling, and floor of the live venue, a... | |
| Sub(s) ideas to match Salk Silk Monitors Jim Salk has speaker models into which he installs a Rythmik Servo-Feedback 12" or 15" sub, and he also builds custom cabinets for Rythmik subs. I would imagine any Salk speaker would benefit from a pair (two is always better then one, no matter t... | |
| Skin Orgasms caused by music . The physical aspect in live music is almost always missing in reproduced, imo, no matter the cost of the system. Part of that is the spl at live shows featuring sound reinforcement, part is how much mid-bass is created by the venue itself. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music The Everly Brothers: Let It Be Me (also done beautifully by Dave Edmunds)Dolly Parton: I Will Always Love YouThe Kinks: Waterloo SunsetBob Dylan: Knockin’ On Heavens DoorThe Band: The Clock Struck One; Whispering PinesIris Dement: My Life; You’ve ... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners Horacio, I just looked it up on the First Watt website, to refresh my memory. The B4 is a regular x/o, but there is a special version of it---the B5, made especially and specifically for full-range drivers with woofers in open baffles. Go to the F... |
