| New maggie 1.7's ........ need help! The closer the panels are to the side walls, the better it is to have the tweeter strips on the inside---less sidewall reflection. Three feet from the wall behind the speakers is an absolute minimum, with five feet being much better. Five feet cre... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 What I noticed was the 2150's $99,000/pr price tag. I didn't read any further. This is getting ridiculous. | |
| Best reasonably priced SACD player? The Esoteric DV-50S that Norm just mentioned is built like a tank, and should last a lifetime. It weighs 47 lbs! They are occasionally available second-hand for about $1500 (originally $6000). | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Ha! | |
| Rythmik subwoofers? topjetboy---The Rythmik F12 plate amp includes lots of controls (most importantly a phase control providing not a couple of settings, but a continuously variable range of 0-180 degrees, to allow time-alignment of speaker and sub electronically, wi... | |
| Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ? Max Townshend molds his speaker cabinets from Plaster-of-Paris I believe. That's one reason they are not available in the U.S.A.---too heavy to ship from the U.K.! | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Ah man, how could I have forgotten Iron Butterfly? Those first two albums are about as bad as it gets for me. And for narcissistic self-congratulatory music making, few bands are as bad as was Vanilla Fudge (except perhaps Journey). Absolutely dre... | |
| Isolation Feet for Garrard 301 wood plinth At their low price, Geoff Kait’s isolation springs are sure worth a shot. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! For anyone who hasn’t heard it yet, the sole album by The Shaggs is a real trip. They were a three-sister garage band out of New Hampshire in the late 60’s. That album became legendary for the girls complete ineptitude, and the perverse sense of h... | |
| 6922 Tubes! I'm thinking of getting a pair of that 7DJ8 tube myself, jond. It's a slightly higher voltage version of the 6DJ8, and is used in my line pre-amp. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Wilsons target consumer of a $650,000 speaker is not the hardcore audiophile---the type of person who would employ acoustical treatment in a room, but rather the "lifestyle" consumer. Guys like Fabio, whose Infinity IRS/Krell system was set-up in ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? I again attempted to point out the fact that there are a number of cases of acid casualty musicians, this time not naming names but only providing hints that would allow the reader to determine the identities of those musicians, thereby removing a... | |
| Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ? No cabinet is the best cabinet. But that's only one reason why I prefer planars---ESL's, magnetic-planars, ribbons. All but one pair of speaker "cabinets" I do have are actually open baffle frames; the fact that they aren't sealed and are heavily ... | |

| Same song different artist. Which ones do you love? LP For me, the song is IT. IMO, a lot of Pop music is made by musicians who just use the song as a platform from which to show their stuff. The song to me is the same as the script is to a movie---without it, you got nothin’. I could go on for pages,... |
