| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? A "properly" designed tube amp is really the way to go with the ESL 57. Roger Modjeski designed his Music Reference RM-10 amp specifically for the 57, using the speaker as the amp's load during development. If one can't use such a tube amp, perhap... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Singers are often what I find most annoying in Rock Bands, so Geoff's nomination of Guns 'n' Roses is a great one. My choices are Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers, Steve Perry/Journey, and Steven Tyler/Aerosmith. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? agear, Mr. Diament would be the best person to ask. He's pretty responsive to inquiries, and a nice, non-confrontational guy ta boot. | |
| monitors to sub tuning, using high pass output on subwoofer back to amp? The best way to high pass your main speakers is to install a capacitor of the correct value to the input jacks on your power amp. However, that requires your integrated to have pre out and power in jacks. The value of the capacitor will determine ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Isolation from seismic vibration proponent and recording engineer Barry Diament, previously mentioned by myself as introducing me to the concept, had his Soundkeeper Recordings "Equinox" release by Markus Schwartz and Lakou Brooklyn awarded Record... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Wow magpie, The Stones. They're considered Rock royalty by many (though not I), so expect some blowback! | |
| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, your appreciation for the Rock reminds me of why it's been my only table for over twenty years now. It replaced a VPI HW-19 Mk.2, which I liked a lot. The legendary turntable master Brooks Berdan was my go to hi-fi guy, and I was not his onl... | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? Another professional user of Rythmik subs is Sterling Sound, the great audiophile mastering house in NYC. They have three pair of F15's in their monitoring systems.Planar and mini-monitor speaker lovers have long had to accept the rolled-off botto... | |
| ________ is an artist I did not expect to like but was pleasantly surprised. Television. | |
| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" True 213runnin, and the Maggie low sensitivity and missing bottom octave makes necessary a beefy power amp and perhaps sub or two, thereby negating the economy pricing of the speakers themselves. However, the older Maggies that allow bi-amping mak... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great points frogman. Dave Tough was a big band drummer who was adored by bandleaders and fellow musicians for his ability to make a band swing harder than any other drummer around, but whose ability to play a solo was rather limited. Some musicia... | |
| Rega Owners - Alignment Tool / Protractor Small world Brad! I'm in N. Vancouver (Salmon Creek area), Washington. I'll be heading down to L.A. in a couple of weeks, bringing a trailer full of hi-fi back with me, including the Wallytractor. | |
| Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile Great song, Jerry. Vivian Stanshall was quite an interesting character. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Rather than waiting for measured "proof" that any given product marketed as providing isolation from vibration actually does so (and further, that such isolation is not just academic, but actually provides an improvement in sound), you may in many... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Great choices garebear! Hearing Bloomfield on the What's Shakin' album in '66 was a game-changer. That's when he was in The Butterfield Blues Band, who introduced a lot of us white suburban kids to Blues. I saw Mike live in The Electric Flag in '6... |
