| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub I have assumed I would at some point try the Kimbre 8PR (I already have KCTG, KCAG, Hero, Silver Streak, and PBJ interconnects, and 4AG speaker cables). The Tympani's have those darned Magnepan connectors, for which I'm planning on getting a set o... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Thanks Geoff, great video. The drums I was describing are traditional wood ones, which is how bass drums (kicks) and toms are pretty much all made. Snare drums are a different matter, available in many different woods and metals.Charlie Watts like... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals I love the first three Procol Harum albums (pianist Matthew Fisher left after the third, Robin Trowers’ guitar playing turning PH into just another blues-based riff band. So sad.). Those first three PH albums WERE (and still are) filled with great... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals Old boots dull? You haven’t seen my closet, but then you may not care for any boots, old or new. You sound more like a sneakers kinda guy. I’ve seen & heard both Dylan and Hendrix live multiple times, and have my own personal impression and op... | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP As if all tube amps sound the same. My old Dynaco Stereo 70 sounds more different from my Music Reference RM200 than does a, say, high quality modern Mosfet solid state amp. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I can't say about hi-fi platforms, but maple is the preferred wood for drum shells because of it's desirable (for drums) resonance and timbre. Maple's resonance characteristic is of long sustain (when you hit a piece of maple, it rings for a long ... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub One serious bass aficionado I've met on the Planar Speaker Asylum uses 6 or 8 gauge housing wire (Romex, etc.) for his Magneplanar Tympani T-IV bass panels! He powers the panels with a Crown Pro Amp capable of delivering over 2,000 watts to each T... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! New thread for me, and though I haven't read them all (love Harold's nomination of Procol Harum, but for me it was with Matthew Fisher's departure, after which Robin Trower's guitar playing came to the fore, which ruined them for me), conspicuous ... | |
| Dipole Asymmetry If you can duplicate/imitate the scattering of the sound from the rack & components behind your left speaker with diffusion behind your right speaker, you may be all right. If not, timbral (tonality, coloration) and temporal (timing) differenc... | |
| Cartridge "shoot-out" : Koetsu Jade v SPU v FR7 v London Reference. Finally the London and Decca cartridges are getting their due respect in the U.S.A.! By Art Dudley in his Dec ’15 Stereophile column, and now by Howard here. Not for the faint of heart, the London Reference is the most dynamic, immediate, and exci... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub spoutjack's original question made it unclear as to whether he was asking for a high level/speaker cable recommendation, or a line level/RCA jack cable one for use with a Rythmik sub. My question was intended to get clarification because Rythmik s... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Well then czarivey, you should know that The Del McCoury Band sounds quite unlike The Steeldrivers, that The Delmore Brothers sounded nothing like The Dillards, that Ricky Skaggs sounds very different Tony Rice, that Alison Krauss sounds little li... | |
| Your first component that was "special" In 1972 I discovered J. Gordon Holt and his little digest-sized "quarterly" magazine Stereophile. After reading for a year about the exotic hi-fi I had never seen in Northern California (high end seemed to be an East Coast phenomenon), in the Spri... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub Depends on the length of course, but I got mine used. I'm not sure what the Hero goes for new. Kimber offers three different RCA jacks affecting the Hero's price, the difference being more in higher frequencies. For bass the cheapest plug----the U... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub Ah, okay then the Kimber Hero, great for bass/low frequencies. I use it with my F15HP's. |
