| What album do you play over the holidays? Yep Slaw and tostado, poor Linda had to suffer that indignity. She was a fine photographer, though. What, John had his wife in his Band, so Paul had to too?! A lot of Beatle people blame Yoko for the breakup of their favorite Group. I don't---it w... | |
| Wrapping Up 2016 I'll split the difference with you George, and say 15 years ;-). If I live that long, I'll be older than my Dad made it to, and he was of a much heartier generation, that of WWII. | |
| You were right about adding a sub. I’ve had a few pretty good subs, including an early HSU (in a cylinder enclosure, similar to your SVS), a KEF B-139 driver (the one Dave Wilson used in his original WAMM) in a transmission-line, and the bass columns of the Infinity RS-1b loudspeak... | |
| Mono vs stereo Right tostado, Brian Wilson being almost deaf in one ear is why he always mixed to Mono. And though Capitol Records insisted on putting Nik Venet’s name as producer on The Beach Boys albums, Brian was producing them right from the beginning. What ... | |
| What album do you play over the holidays? Another great reminder, Jackson Browne. He is by far my favorite of the L.A. Laurel Canyon crowd, a really, really good songwriter, and fine singer. He has also always had a great band. I sure wish he hadn't let his political/social causes take ov... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters gpgr4blu, I heard the WATT/Puppy a lot at Brooks Berdan's shop (his main listening room is excellent, built to the Cardas formula, and treated with RPG diffusers and tube traps), but also at CES and all the consumer California shows (both Northern... | |
| Mono vs stereo It's been quite a while since I last heard the early Beach Boys LP's in non-Monaural pressings tostado (I used to have them all), but I specifically remember being surprised by the true Stereo Surfer Girl album. Emblazened across the top of the LP... | |
| You were right about adding a sub. Relieved of having to reproduce very low frequencies, the loudspeaker is now better able to reproduce the higher ones. One of the benefit of subs! The power amplifier is also relieved of the same duty, leaving far more power with lower distortion ... | |
| Mono vs stereo What’s very interesting about The Beatles mixes is that some songs have different instruments either included or not. In other words, a given song on an original pressing of the white album may have a guitar part on the Stereo version that is not ... | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? limniscate, you're a perfect candidate for the Rythmik/GR Research OB/Dipole sub. Details on the GR website and it's AudioCircle forum threads. | |
| Tune of the Day I gotta say, ya’ll have better taste in music than all-but-the-best musicians I’ve known! Though many of you may be musicians yourselves. Maybe it’s the refined and developed appreciation for the reproduction of music that leads to such taste. Or ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters It’s funny that one listener found Wilson speakers to produce an image too high. One thing I have always found lacking in the smaller Wilsons (the WATT/Puppy in particular) in their "knee to waist" image height. I don’t care for the view from the ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The "common" wisdom is that silver works well with tube electronics, copper with solid state. And that that is because silver tends to sound bright, copper warm. But that assumes that tube amps sound warm, solid state bright, therefore tubes with ... | |
| Mono vs stereo Music recorded in a studio on a multi-channel recorder is not really a "Stereo" recording. It is a "multiple-Mono" recording, each individual mono channel having recorded the sound of a single microphone. Each channel’s signal is then "panned" som... | |
| HD VINYL. New method for making vinyl records! That IS exciting, thanks Pete!---Eric. |
