| Essential Blues/ jazz Oops, forgot Blues Hammer, as seen and heard in the movie Ghost World ;-). | |
| Essential Blues/ jazz A second on ebm's Muddy Waters suggestion. Some other essentials are best of collections of Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Big Joe Turner, Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson, Lowell Fulsom, Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles, the three King's (Freddie, Alber... | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? tboooe, the reason eq doesn't help with the dips is because they are "nulls", the rooms dimensions creating frequency cancellations that no amount of eq can correct for---an infinitely deep hole at null frequencies. The only way to deal with nulls... | |
| I think I need more bass traps, where to place them?? There are also room resonance calculators/simulators on the 'net. You put your room dimensions into a form, and a three dimensional depiction of where standing waves are produced in the room will be displayed. That is where bass traps should go. A... | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? If you have the room, and are patient, another option is the bass panels of the old Magneplanar Tympani bass panels. Both the T-I and T-IV models consisted of three 16" wide x 6’ tall panels, two of which were for bass only, and they make great su... | |
| If this sounds like YOUR Turntable story, please share your final chapter fjn, your scenario has been the heart of the argument for the Linn Sondek table since it's introduction in the early 70's. That it is the ability of a table, in fact all links in the hi-fi chain, to play music, not just make sound, that should be ... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? For anyone interested in the concept of isolation from seismic (or any other) vibrations, there is no need to wait for a seismologist. Simply watch Max Townshend's video on You Tube, and make of it what you will. We don't need no stinkin' seismolo... | |
| Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp? Here’s a post Paul McGowan made on the PS Audio website, in one of his blogs:"There are many great subwoofers available today. Perhaps my favorite is REL out of England. But even as good as REL subs are, they don’t quite live up to the Nth degree ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Kevin is highly complimentary of the Gold Lion KT88 reissues, as is Roger Modjeski of Ram Labs and Music Reference. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You YES! I am drawn to Festival Express by my favorite band, The Band, but Buddy Guy doing the great Barrett Strong classic "Money" (later done in an also-good version by The Beatles), and Janis Joplin doing "Tell Mama", a tough R & B song origina... | |
| Your favorite one-man band! I just heard Marshall Crenshaw's fantastic version of Dylan's "My Back Pages" on You Tube. You may have heard The Byrds excellent hit version, but I like Marshall's version, found on the Bleecker Street various artists album, even more. And that r... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Some people feel all silver cables are good with tubed electronics, copper with solid state. But Cardas and Audioquest copper are used with ARC and other tubed amps at some dealers, so there are differences of opinion. Big surprise! | |
| Reel to Reel tape decks There are quite a few r2r tapes of the RCA golden age albums, but not many of the Mercury’s. At least that I’ve seen. Wonder how they sound compared to the LP’s? | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Being a long-time Quad ESL (original 57's) owner, a small sweet spot is old news to me! | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I believe Roger Sanders was involved in the design of the original Martin-Logan model(s), but now disavows the curvilinear principle and design, not using it in his own ESL. |
