| White power cords Geoffkait, which Fulton's did you have? I sold my Tympani T-I's to buy a pair of Fulton J's, regretting it very soon thereafter. Nice clean deep bass and liquidly transparent highs (couldn't beat those RTR ESL tweeters back then), but I missed the... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt Astro, I see things differently than you in this way: I chose to discuss the subject of this posting from a theoretical point of view, addressing the "why" of isolation. You prefer a statement of how a certain approach or product had what kind of ... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Hi Bill. No, the only paper cone is the 12. The reason for that is that it is more of a GR Research product than a Rythmik one. The two companies and their owners have a unique working relationship. Brian was already offering the Rythmik products,... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? What’d I tell ya Kenny! Being a dipole, the OB sub has a null to each side, creating two benefits: First, it loads the depth dimension of the room, but not the width, exciting the longer, further apart nodes rather than the shorter, closer togethe... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt oleschool---theaudiotweak’s argument promoting the notion of transferring energy from one object into another of higher mass via hard cones or spikes---the "mechanical diode" theory, wherein energy coming from a source component is transferred thr... | |
| Audio Research D79C Amp An SP-10 and a D-79? The two classic ARC pieces! Heirlooms, for sure. | |
| Subwoofers Mike, at what frequency are you crossing-over to the subs, and with what slope? The lower the frequency and the faster the slope (the Rythmik plate amp offers 24dB/octave), the less the subs need to be close to the Maggies. If you put your room di... | |

| Best type of Sub to consider? There are a lot of Audiogon people who either have or have had various REL's. One of them posted a question on the Rythmik AVS Forum yesterday asking for recommendations of models for use with his speakers. He said he been satisfied with his REL's... | |
| how do you handle your clean records? When you are able, get yourself a VPI HW-16 LP cleaning machine. SO worth the money! | |
| Buddy Holly and Elvis on SACD The quality of the Elvis late 50's-early 60's recordings is surprisingly good. Almost as good as the Roy Orbison, and both have been written about by Michael Fremer. Another act from that era recorded in great sound is The Everly Brothers. Great m... | |
| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components What’s needed next is a series of Hi-Fi Shows, organized by a Board representing all the U.S. Hi-Fi companies, displaying and demonstrating the products of the companies. It could also serve as a replacement for the Las Vegas CES for the U.S. comp... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt Right you are Geoff. Is 180 degrees off close ;-) ? To state it again, what is needed under a turntable (or CD player, or tube electronics) is not a piece of wood (or whatever) with which to "tune" the entire LP player (what a "primitive" idea!), ... | |
| Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials You have a preconceived notion that the material of a driver has to naturally vibrate at the same frequency as the material of the instrument it is trying to reproduce---in other words, have the same resonance characteristics. That is such an inco... |
