| 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. | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums If you don't need the platform of the Townshend podiums, the Seismic Pods themselves are considerable cheaper. | |
| Similar sounding bands. Any genre can sound "all the same" to a listener not into that genre, including Bluegrass. It takes some listening experience to develop the discernment necessary to discriminate between the practitioners of some music. If one doesn't like a parti... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? Vegasears has good ones. Also anything on which Jerry Douglas (Dobro) plays. And The Del McCoury Band. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Reference Turntable Review on Positive Feedback Not many. Henry Rollins is one exception, being a customer of Brian Berdan at Audio Elements in Pasadena. His system is comprised of the big Wilson speakers and VTL electronics. I think his table is a VPI with Lyra cartridge. | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub To the Rythmik's high-level input/binding posts? | |
| Your worst gaffes Selling my Magneplanar Tympani T-I's and replacing them with a pair of Fulton J's. Didn't take me long to realize THAT was a mistake! It's okay---I have a pair of restored T-IV's now. | |
| worst sounding great lps psag, the sound on Born To Run is quite intentionally (what an audiophile considers) "bad". Bruce has said he wanted the album to sound like Roy Orbison as produced by Phil Spector. Spectors' "Wall Of Sound" recordings are a real mess---lots of ec... | |
| Music you Hated but now Love Others have made that comment zimwig, about Iris’ voice. I’m usually aware of any "quirkiness" in a voice, like for instance Victoria Williams and Julie Miller. For some reason I don’t hear it in Iris’, though it does have a lot of character, whic... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! VPI HW-19, Linn, Oracle, Thorens. | |
| Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables No, I haven't done double runs myself gdhal. Paul at Clear Day recommends his Single cable for high impedance/sensitivity speakers, Shotgun for medium, and Double Shotgun for low. I went straight for the Double Shotgun version of the Clear Day spe... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! Hear here ketto! The Rock has never caught on in the States as it has in the UK, where it is considered a reference. The Rock addresses several turntable design considerations in a novel and unique way, providing sound reproduction from LP's like ... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals I have played with a lot of guitarists who, of course, love Jimi’s playing, and one bassist who holds Jimi in as high esteem as John Coltrane! I freely admit I have never understood, nor had the sensibilities to appreciate, most Jazz. It is a fore... |
