| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Seismic simply means very, very low frequencies, like 5Hz down. And it is no boogey man, they are quite real. Ask anyone who has put the Townshend Audio Seismic products (or perhaps Geoff’s springs) under his speakers, turntable, CD player, or tub... | |
| What are the best recordings in your collection? "Best" in what regard? In purely sonic quality, it is pretty much any Direct-to-Disc LP. Removing the recorder from the signal path results in a HUGE increase in transparency and resolution.For non-Direct-to-Disc LP's, the Water Lily label is unsu... | |
| help buying irs beta I formerly owned the similar RS-1b, and unless you’re a masochist I would instead get a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b, which employs similar but superior drivers to the EMIM and EMIT in the Infinitys. | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? Your room is big enough for a pair of planars, if your taste includes them. Many would suggest the Maggie 1.7i, but even better is the Eminent Technology LFT-8b, a hybrid magnetic-planar/dynamic woofer design. Easier to drive than the 1.7i, too. $... | |
| Top Five rock Bass players Topic: Top Five Rock Bass PlayersOperative word Rock. Now, what is Rock can be argued. But to say Jaco and Miroslav "are jazz bassists that surely substantially better schooled and skilled than Paul McCartney", while true, is off point, isn’t it? ... | |
| Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale? TAS is now so shameless, isn't it? Zero credibility. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? That’s how I see it too Geoff (your summary on page 10). Approach addressing those low frequency vibrations coming up into the equipment stand, and the components therein, however you choose, but address them you should. What on Earth (unintended ... | |
| Leonard Cohen...RIP.... One of the few Dylan himself respected as a peer. His show at The Universal Amphitheater in the early 2000's was one of the best I've attended in my life. | |
| GARY BEDINI and JOHN BEDINI have passed on 11-6-16 Reminds me of the Australian Garrott brothers, who did the great modification to the Decca cartridges. There was a suicide involved in their deaths, I believe. The Bedini 25/25 amplifier is considered a classic, often paired with the original Quad... | |
| 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... |
