| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Grays! Okay ghosthouse, you win. You must also know about Great Buildings, the group Danny Wilde and Phil Solem were in before The Rembrandt’s. The singer/songwriter I was playing with in 1980-1 loved GB, so we went to their show at The Starwo... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Here’s the formula for determining the value of the capacitor (in pf) you need to solder onto your amp’s input jacks (the interior of the amp is the best location) to achieve the 6dB/octave filtering:1/(2 x pi x f x 2), where f = the desired "corn... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Sure. I believe you can send me a pm through the Audiogon system. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists I prefer to think of Blues as the father of Rock 'n' Roll, Hillbilly (Country & Western) it's mother ;-) . | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Good catch Kenny---your thought had occurred to me after my last post. One point of stating how well the OB/Dipole Sub works with planars is because they (planars) are so notoriously difficult with which to get a sub to blend seamlessly. If a sub ... | |
| Good used Pre-Amp? Price Range $1500.00 to $2000.00 Goldhawk---the ARC you listed (PH-3) in a phono stage, not a line. The ARC LS-15 and LS-16 line stages regularly sell for around $1500. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists The only death of a musical person which brought me to tears was Richards. What a loss. | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Relieving your Quicksilver of bass frequencies will allow much more of it’s power to be available for the ET’s. That will require adding not just a sub or two, but a passive 1st order 6dB/octave high-pass filter (or active x/o) to the input jacks ... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Actually jwt, a pair of the OB/Dipole Sub kits is $1500 shipped, and a pair of the H-Frame flat packs is $600 I believe (I got in on the first few sets made at an introductory price). So it’s about $2100 for a pair of the OB/Dipole Subs and really... | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists Oh, well, with Van Morrison you're talking about something completely different from what I thought the topic was. Van Morrison---a Rock/Hard Rock/Metal/Progressive singer? I think of him as a Soul or R & B singer, one of a handful of Brits (o... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Curious that Bascom didn't mention another engineering fact of passives, that of their output impedance. The output impedance of passives varies with the setting of the volume control, often to a figure too high for the input impedance of some pow... | |
| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case It wasn’t I who said the Brits play Blues "in the worst way", it was Sonny Boy Williamson! I myself like a fair number of them, if you include Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Yeah, Clapton, Page, and Peter Green, but also Albert Lee (not a Blues pla... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? The title of this post says it all. Normal people don’t refer to listening to music (or, more accurately, merely hearing it) as a "session", a distinct, dedicated endeavor. Music is just "on" while other, more important, things are done. Like talk... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Kenny, I understand your confusion. The subs Salk Audio offers are the standard Rythmik sealed (either 12" or 15"). Jim Salk installs the same DIY kit you yourself can buy from Rythmik, and installs it in his own larger (4cu.ft. vs Rythmik’s 3cu.f... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? If I had unlimited funds, I'd have Townshend Audio Seismic Pods under everything. |
