| EAR vs Audio Note preamp Robert Levi of Positive Feedback and The Los Angeles & Orange County Audio Society is of the opinion that the EAR 912 betters the Audio Research Reference 3. The EAR 868 contains the same design and circuits as the 912, but without the 912's f... | |
| What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ? There are internet sites that have room mode calculators, displaying in 3d where standing waves appear in the room, which is determined by the dimensions of the room. You put your room's dimensions into the calculator, and a 3d drawing appears, sh... | |
| Leon Russell has passed on...... His generation is coming to it's end. Dylan himself can't be too far behind, I fear. | |
| Audience's Ohno speaker cable & interconnect. Entry level fluff or serious cable ?? I wouldn't take anything said in TAS too seriously. If at all possible, buy from someone who allows a home audition. | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 The tubed ARC pre should be fine left on while you are out of the house, but ARC power amps definitely and absolutely not. Their power tubes aren't fused, and when one pops the amps have been known to burst into flames. As I am most likely about t... | |
| Components I would have died for when I was a wee pup The first speakers I heard that completely changed my concept of what was possible was the Electrostatic Sound Systems (ESS) TranStatic I loudspeaker, in 1970. It had three RTR electrostatic tweeters, a KEF B139 woofer (the oval one Dave Wilson la... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Seismic simply means very, very low frequencies, like 5Hz down. And it is no boogey man, they are quite real. Ask anyone who has put the Townshend Audio Seismic products (or perhaps Geoff’s springs) under his speakers, turntable, CD player, or tub... | |
| What are the best recordings in your collection? "Best" in what regard? In purely sonic quality, it is pretty much any Direct-to-Disc LP. Removing the recorder from the signal path results in a HUGE increase in transparency and resolution.For non-Direct-to-Disc LP's, the Water Lily label is unsu... | |
| help buying irs beta I formerly owned the similar RS-1b, and unless you’re a masochist I would instead get a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b, which employs similar but superior drivers to the EMIM and EMIT in the Infinitys. | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? Your room is big enough for a pair of planars, if your taste includes them. Many would suggest the Maggie 1.7i, but even better is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a hybrid magnetic-planar/dynamic woofer design. Easier to drive than the 1.7i, too. $... | |
| Top Five rock Bass players Topic: Top Five Rock Bass PlayersOperative word Rock. Now, what is Rock can be argued. But to say Jaco and Miroslav "are jazz bassists that surely substantially better schooled and skilled than Paul McCartney", while true, is off point, isn’t it? ... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? TAS is now so shameless, isn't it? Zero credibility. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? That’s how I see it too Geoff (your summary on page 10). Approach addressing those low frequency vibrations coming up into the equipment stand, and the components therein, however you choose, but address them you should. What on Earth (unintended ... | |
| Leonard Cohen...RIP.... One of the few Dylan himself respected as a peer. His show at The Universal Amphitheater in the early 2000's was one of the best I've attended in my life. | |
| GARY BEDINI and JOHN BEDINI have passed on 11-6-16 Reminds me of the Australian Garrott brothers, who did the great modification to the Decca cartridges. There was a suicide involved in their deaths, I believe. The Bedini 25/25 amplifier is considered a classic, often paired with the original Quad... |
