| Ry and Evan That’s what I thought when I first learned of that scene jafant. You know who else came out of it? It’s unbelievable! Bo Diddley, Patsy Cline, Ralph Stanley, The Carter Family, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, John Fahey, John Sebastion, Zal Yanovsky... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 Jim, Rythmik Audio has two sealed subs featuring dual 8" woofers, the F8 and FM8. The only difference between them is the FM was designed to be used as a mid-bass woofer, it’s x/o to a lower-frequency sub being 4th order at 50Hz. Both operate up t... | |
| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? harrylavo is most likely referring to the Music Reference (rather than Musical Reference) RM-9 amplifier, a very-well regarded EL34 based amp. Roger Modjeski of Music Reference is making custom pre-amps now, so you might want to check with him to ... | |
| KT-88 vs. EL34 Roger Modjeski of Music Reference and RAM Tube Works had for quite a while a forum on AudioCircle. On it he discussed tube amplifier design, tubes themselves, and the relationship between tube circuits and the performance characteristics of specif... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 - 3.7i owners need help please sfrounds---Bi-amping of the 3.6 is not, as you experienced, best done digitally. Fortunately it doesn’t have to be. First Watt makes an excellent, moderately-priced non-digital active electronic crossover (the B4, designed and built by Nelson Pass... | |

| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo My taste runs to "musical" guitarists, ones whose both song parts and solos serve the music, not just show off their chops. Call me old fashioned! I wear the badge proudly. There are many examples of extraordinary guitar playing where the part gre... | |
| 10" subwoofer around $500, used or new? Why settle for a 10" when for $539 shipped you can get a Rythmik L12, with not only a 12" woofer, but a servo-feedback controlled one?! | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability I like Kevins videos, and that he rides a bike (the kind with a motor ;-). A down-to-earth guy, devoid of high-end snobbishness. | |
| Magic Moments in listening I so love hearing people to whom music means so much speak of those "special" songs, the ones that are deeply felt and personal. I have such songs, the ones that take you back to a particular period in your life, or that briefly, for the length of... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 imdoc---akg_ca’s repost included a few assertions (well, a lot more than a few, and I didn’t make it through the whole thing :-) that must be disputed.1- "it is virtually impossible to build a really good subwoofer for under $1000. Yet most of the... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! Most record cabinets sit on the floor. The EKET can, but doesn't have to. As mentioned above, Ikea offers a 4-legged base for the EKET which raises it 4" from the floor, plenty high enough for me. The base is pictured on the Ikea website for anyon... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? A great album. reubent. The vinyl of the original 1970 pressing was a "mottled" splatter of colors, gray and pink mostly. Is the reissue as well? Great songs, great musicians (including the amazing drummer Jim Gordon, of Derek & The Dominoes).... |
