| 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... | |
| New VPI Turntables - Titan, Prime Signature, Scout 2016, plus new tonearm lift and SDS? Your site looks REALLY good! | |
| Inna gadda da Vida long version Ron Bushy was Brooks Berdan's favorite drummer. I didn't have the heart to tell him..... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| Audio Research Factory Tour As time went on, Bill was less and less at the center of design at ARC, even long before he sold the company. He had a couple of other long-time ARC designers (especially Rich Larsen) designing more and more of the new products, starting with the ... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt The anti-high mass proponents will tell you that those designs don't "block vibrations", they just move them to a different frequency (lower) and transmit them longer---in other words, ring longer at a lower frequency for a longer length of time. ... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Paul Simon: "One man's ceiling.....is another man's floor". | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Great idea, Kenny. Danny comes at subs from a perfectionist audiophile, music-centric point of view. Brian is an unusual sub designer in that his priority is also music reproduction, unlike the home-theater orientation of most sub designers. But G... | |
| Great Stereophile article on a friend of mine, drummer Billy Drummond Ooo CT, Peacock Flame! That wrap is pretty rare, and has become very collectable. That snare you had weighed a ton, didn't?! The 6-1/2" Gretsch Chrome Over Brass snare drum is killer, but the snare pictured in Billy's kit is Ludwig's current COB w... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt Folkfreak, I'm sold on Townshend's Seismic Pods, and am planning on putting them under my speakers, LP player, digital player, and tube electronics, but I gotta scrape together the scratch to do it. And the Pods ain't cheap! |
