| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range Where you really want one driver to be reproducing all frequencies is in the heart of the music---the midrange. The Eminent Technology LFT magnetic-planar driver reproduces 180Hz to 10kHz, with no crossover in that range! In the LFT-8b an 8" dynam... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Bedini 25/25. | |
| New In 2023 On August 25th Rhino Records is releasing on LP a best of collection by Gordon Lightfoot, part of their Now Playing series. Only $19.99 on the Elusive Disc website! | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Oh, and speaking of JD McPherson, I’ve been meaning to check him out for a while now. Seeing (and more importantly hearing) him playing lead guitar in the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss videos finally propelled me to pick up his Undivided Heart & ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. One application where I am pretty serious about hardwiring is in the tonearm. All my arms have single uninterrupted length of wires, from cartridge clips to RCA jacks. With a signal that low in level you really don’t want any extra joints (so to s... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @palasr: Now THAT’S a hip club! NRBQ came through Portland a while back, sounding great as ever. Back when the albums were new Pete really liked the first Nick Lowe album, but I liked his second more. Dave Edmunds had become involved with Nick by... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I thought you might have something to say on this subject Ric. ;-) I'm unaware of the WBT Nextgen post, though I do have some of the RCA's on ic cables. Gotta check those out. | |
| Quicksilver V4 tubes Better check with Mike Sanders. Not all transformers are rated for that much power. And some amps are designed for specific tubes, or at least tube types. | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @palasr: At the risk of appearing to be posting the following in an attempt to impress ya’ll (Aw geez, here he goes again ;-), it’s just too "fun" to not share it with those who (hopefully) know me better than that. I couldn’t help but smil... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. One participant on the Planar Speaker Asylum Forum wrote that he spoke with Bruce Thigpen about upgrading the speakers' crossover parts, and that Bruce was not at all offended, actually encouraging him to do so and providing some technical advice.... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! Yep Steve, on Discogs I found a Near Mint European pressing of the Little Village LP for 12 British Pounds plus 10 for shipping. It’s better sounding than the US LP, but that doesn’t cure the problem I have with the album: the material (songs). I... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? From the latest issue of PS Audio’s Copper Magazine, Paul McGowan on soundstaging: https://www.psaudio.com/blogs/copper/octave-records-expands-em-the-art-of-hi-fi-series-em-with-em-volume-02-soundstage-em | |
| Which phono stage for Garrard 401 with Shure V15 lll cartridge @noromance: Back in the Decca days, various samples were all over the place in terms of frequency response, high frequency "ringing", tracking ability, etc. The Londons are significantly more uniform example-to-example. Just to clarify: loading a ... | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... @edcyn: I had no idea the Panorama City store had an upstairs. I did my Classical buying at the Hollywood store on Sunset Blvd. They had almost everything that was in print in stock a lot of the time. | |
| Which phono stage for Garrard 401 with Shure V15 lll cartridge I didn't know that about Grados @yogiboy. Londons/Deccas---similar to Grados only in being moving iron pickups---also like lower impedances. Zesto Audio designer George Counnas includes a 15k setting in his pre-amp, specifically for Londons/Deccas. |
