| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Paul will instead send you a pair of cables so that you may decide for yourself. The one recommendation he does make is to use the Single speaker cable for higher sensitivity/efficiency speakers, the Shotgun model for medium s/e speakers, and the ... | |
| The History of Rock and Roll PBS 1995 Thanks Don, I hadn't seen this before. | |
| Is this a phase issue? How to fix? The woofer in one speaker may have accidentally been hooked up in reversed polarity. Reverse the connections on one speaker, and measure again. If there is now more bass, you have your answer. The question then becomes, is the entire speaker rever... | |
| Audio Research Factory Tour I have to agree, astro58go. I’ve been working on keeping my opinions to myself, but have a ways to go ;-). My goal is to make positive comments only, such as this one: I consider Audio Research Corporation the most important and influential hi-fi ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? You disagree with my "quantity over quality"? What quantity over quality? It appears my point was misconstrued. 5000 LP’s is enough to justify ANY table! | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? mmporsche, the number of LP’s one owns, and the frequency with which one anticipates acquiring more of in the future, should be taken into consideration when deciding how much to spend on a record player. It is my opinion that the greater the numb... | |
| Essential Blues/ jazz Oops, forgot Blues Hammer, as seen and heard in the movie Ghost World ;-). | |

The only way to deal with nulls... | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? There are also room resonance calculators/simulators on the 'net. You put your room dimensions into a form, and a three dimensional depiction of where standing waves are produced in the room will be displayed. That is where bass traps should go. A... | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? If you have the room, and are patient, another option is the bass panels of the old Magneplanar Tympani bass panels. Both the T-I and T-IV models consisted of three 16" wide x 6’ tall panels, two of which were for bass only, and they make great su... | |
| If this sounds like YOUR Turntable story, please share your final chapter fjn, your scenario has been the heart of the argument for the Linn Sondek table since it's introduction in the early 70's. That it is the ability of a table, in fact all links in the hi-fi chain, to play music, not just make sound, that should be ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? For anyone interested in the concept of isolation from seismic (or any other) vibrations, there is no need to wait for a seismologist. Simply watch Max Townshend's video on You Tube, and make of it what you will. We don't need no stinkin' seismolo... | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? Here’s a post Paul McGowan made on the PS Audio website, in one of his blogs:"There are many great subwoofers available today. Perhaps my favorite is REL out of England. But even as good as REL subs are, they don’t quite live up to the Nth degree ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Kevin is highly complimentary of the Gold Lion KT88 reissues, as is Roger Modjeski of Ram Labs and Music Reference. |
