| Best Subwoofer Interconnect Cable for powered Wilson Watch Dog The Kimber Hero is known for it's good bottom end, and is available balanced/XLR. I use a pair on my Rythmiks. | |
| Newbie With Magnepan 1.7is One thing I can recommend is to position the Maggies, if possible, no closer than 5' from the wall behind them. If that's not possible, slide them out for serious listening. Any closer than about 5', the back wave coming off the wall will interfer... | |
| Which rock is the best for you? The Townshend Rock ;-). | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Got it, Al. And completely agree, with both your posts. Though it perhaps needed saying when Linn first did (that information, once lost, could never be recovered, no matter the quality of downstream components), to say the source is therefore mor... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? I ignored Amazon for years. But when living in the S. California desert, going into L.A. only occasionally, and having not a single music retailer (unless you count Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Target. I don't) within an hour's drive, I finall... | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Is there an implied suggestion that price automatically denotes sound quality? The fact that a person's record player and his speakers cost the same means what? It could be nothing more than happenstance. Not trying to be argumentative! | |
| Subwoofers The Rythmik subs are gaining a reputation as working well with Maggies. A couple of guys with MG-IIIA's have expressed their satisfaction with the F12 and F15 models on the company's forum at AVS. I use the Rythmik/GR Research OB/Dipole Sub with m... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Over at the Planar Speaker Asylum forum there is a lot of discussion of room acoustics and treatment, understandable because of the nature of planar speaker's interactions with rooms. | |
| XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable The Kimber Kable Silver Streak XLR Balanced interconnect uses silver for both the positive and return leg, and copper for the ground. The RCA Single-Ended version on the other hand uses silver for the positive leg only, copper for both return and ... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll My second trip to Austin was courtesy of Junior Brown. I went to his show in L.A., and MCA had a lottery from the ticket stub numbers. My ticket had the winning number (and I hadn't even paid for the ticket!), so I got an all-expense paid---air fa... | |
| 5751 tubes in Herron phono I’ve also been thinking about trying 5751’s in my VTPH-1. Frank Van Alstine used them in his PAS-3 mod, citing it’s superiority to the 12AX7. The 5751 is a little lower in gain and a little quieter, in general, than the 12AX7.The EAR 324 is not th... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. "One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor". I don’t recall where I heard that (Paul Simon?), but it applies. lustformusic, I’ll bet you have a component or two that costs more than the entire "Home Theater System" someone you know has. What’s the ... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Austin’s amazing, Tostado. Last time I was there, my pal and I stopped in at a neighborhood bar for a beer, and Redd Volkaert, Merle Haggard’s guitarist, mosied up on stage and starting playing. Only in Austin! | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Couldn't agree more, Dracule. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 I myself don't know Lew, but I do know he worked on it for years, trying different RIAA circuits and gain topologies, before calling it "finished" and offering it for sale. If he has some spare time, I'll bet he wouldn't mind telling you all about... |
