| New In 2023 On September 22nd New West Records releases a new album by Buddy & Julie Miller entitled In The Throes. All but one song were written by Julie, the one being a collaboration between Julie, Regina McCrary, and Bob Dylan. Regina initiated the wr... | |
| Infinity IRS 3 or 5 Why not ask Paul McGowan himself? | |
| Just got back in the vinyl community I can only imagine how frustrating and discouraging it is for the label owners who invest a lot of time in tracking down original analogue master tapes to then see over and over again the false narrative that "no one presses records from original ... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Claim Form & Documents Nope @mofimadness. But I went into my account on the Music Direct website, and all my purchase info was there. Now I’m glad I didn’t buy the relevent LP’s from Elusive Disc! | |
| Mobile Fidelity Claim Form & Documents Well whatta ya know! In today's mail was a packet from Music Direct, containing all the info on the settlement, along with the forms to fill out and send in for compensation. The forms must be submitted no later than September 21st, 2023. | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. @ieales: You have the markup formula correct, but the nomenclature incorrect. Wholesale is the price the retailer pays the manufacturer (or distributor) for a component, which in hi-fi is typically 60 points (percent) of the retail list price. So ... | |
| Passive crossover power usage Oops: should read "to match the output of a lower-sensitivity driver", not a higher-sensitivity one. | |

| Mobile Fidelity Claim Form & Documents Excellent @mofimadness, thanks. Now I have to decide which---if any---MoFi's to return (Is that the deal? You return LP's for a refund?). I have a number of MoFi LP's free of the digital step, not that THAT is necessarily the determining factor. M... | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 As a long-time dipole user, and completely understanding your interest in the Magnepan speakers (I own a pair), my advice is to forget about it for use in your current space. Why? is the obvious question. The common wisdom is that dipoles need an... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. A day or two ago Guttenberg posted a video entitled Top 10 Audiophile Speakers And Amplifiers Of The Year (meaning of those he has reviewed this year). One of them is of course the ET LFT-8b, and he again says he found the LFT to outperform every ... | |
| Shindo vs the world Stereophile reviewer Ken Micallef---like Art Dudley (apparently everyone’s favorite deceased hi-fi critic ;-)---owns Shindo electronics and DeVore loudspeakers. At one point the two swapped Shindo pre-amps, each liking the others’ pre-amp more tha... |
