| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! Congratulations on getting your house back, and on surviving twenty years of living with your mother-in-law. Damn! | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy As the VTL literature explains, achieving higher damping factor/lower output impedance, if done using negative feedback (as is often the case), can come at the cost of reduced sound quality above bass frequencies. A good reason to either bi-amp, o... | |
| Need advice on adding subs cjk---The Rythmik 12" that whart just received is the F12G (G for GR Research) and it has, as he mentioned, a paper cone. The exact same sub is available with an aluminum coned-woofer instead, and that is the plain ol' F12. Danny Richie of GR Rese... | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's There are a few Maggie owners using either the F12 or F15HP subs. The F12 has, as you would suspect, a 12" woofer, the F15HP a 15". They sound identical, but the 15, having a bigger cone and stronger motor (magnet), as well as bigger sealed enclos... | |
| Need advice on adding subs $2000 will just cover the cost of the most unique, transparent, unboomy sub of which I am aware: The GR Research/Rythmik Audio OB/Dipole Sub. The catch is that it is not a ready-to-play, factory-finished product. But it's pretty easy to do, if one... | |
| ... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD... Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Where's The Money (audiophile quality recording)The Band: Live at The Academy of MusicBob Dylan & The Band: Before The Flood | |
| Whats playing on your system today? You are so right, ghosthouse. The Band imo (and I'm not alone) are the finest self-contained (writing the songs, playing the music, singing the lyrics) Rock 'n' Roll ensemble the genre has produced. Three great singers (especially Richard Manuel),... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? A lot of great amps listed here. I have ended up with some that work for me with various speakers, each needing a certain kind of amp. A Bedini 25/25 for old Quads (though I’m looking to get a Music Reference RM-10), PS Audio 200C and Electron Kin... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Band’s Moondog Matinee was their reaction and response to the 50’s revival that was going on in the early 70’s. As The Hawks (both backing Ronnie Hawkins and on their own) from 1960 until Dylan hired them as his (heh) band for his 1966 Europea... | |
| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? The DC300 (or 300A) was often used with the first version of the Infinity Servo-Static 1 (and also the 1A), until the early SAE electronics arrived in the very early 70’s and found favor amongst Infinity dealers. When Audio Research arrived in Cal... | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's The Rythmik plate amp has "High Level Inputs", allowing you to take the signal for any of the Rythmik subs (sealed, ported, and the OB/Dipole model) from the output terminals on your Quicksilver (and most other) power amps, just as the Rels do. Th... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Joan Osborne live with the Motown House Band: "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted".Joan live at a radio station (video on You Tube): "Shake Your Hips". | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's I'm mostly with you timber. There is one very special sub that is THE sub for use with planars, but at about $2000 a pair, and a DIY kit at that, I didn't think sonicsoul would be interested. It is the OB/Dipole Sub offered by GR Research in conju... | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 Good one Ralph, I'm with ya :-) ! But it's Magneplanar, with an e. I see that all the time. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Subwoofers "voiced"? There is no voicing possible at subwoofer frequencies. Danny Richie of GR Research addressed this issue recently on his website, in regards to the x/o mod he designed for the new Elac speakers. Voicing involves frequency range... |
