| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Replacing x/o parts for higher quality ones is a high-return-for-money-spent tactic. But there’s a further step that can be taken: Danny Richie of GR Research, well known for his x/o designs, not only makes cross-overs with improved parts, but off... | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's The budget Rel's I looked at have a passive radiator in addition to an active, a bad idea with speakers as good as yours. The SVS SB2000 is just another average budget sub---a woofer and an amp in a box. For the same $ you can get a Rythmik Servo-... | |
| How to sell fuse on Audiogon? Wow, that's interesting cz. Guitarists are used to seeing high priced Fenders and Gibsons, but the most collectible snare drum is the Ludwig Deluxe from the 1920's (also incorrectly referred to as a Black Beauty), worth no more than about $5,000 (... | |
| How to sell fuse on Audiogon? In the Vintage Drum field, some greedy sellers "part out" a perfectly good drum, the individual components collectively being worth more than the complete drum itself. It’s a disgraceful practice, and sellers who do it are shunned by their more pr... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Right LJ, on Sell Out they still were playing in their "hold back until the last possible moment" style, which they did better than just about anyone else. They create an incredible amount of tension, letting it build up inside until it just can’t... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved "the who---their bombast and operatic and operatic seriousness can get fatiguing". Ain’t it the truth! That trait spoiled The Who for me when it appeared in the "Won’t Get Fooled Again" era, though "Tommy" hinted at it. Townshend’s writing became ... | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 I’m sure Ralph will comment (though he already offered information on the difference between the Zero Autoformer and the output transformers in tube amps just above---did you miss it?), but may I say that when you say "non electrostatic speakers" ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Speaking of Kevin Gordon (see oblgny’s post above), the original studio album Down To The Well is a perfect album---all prime Grade A beef, no filler. The album is an absolute K..I..L..L..E..R !! Kevin’s a great songwriter and singer in the style ... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? And too you kirkus, for this great tutorial! Thanks. | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? I don't know about advantages (if any) provided by a true differential balanced circuit, but EAR-Yoshino designer Tim de Paravacini (who does a lot of work in the pro recording field) chooses to use single-ended circuits, with balanced inputs and ... | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp Congratulations! I heard the Sanders system at last years T.H.E. Show, and for the first time in years was filled with lust for a new speaker. They are really, really good. | |
| I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp I believe the upper-level Vandersteen's have built-in powered subwoofers. | |
| Basis 1400 TT... Oops, right you are Mofi! I was also mistaken about the finish---the shiny version is highly polished, not chromed. And I agree, the Classic is a ridiculous bargain of an arm---no need to feel bad if you can't afford the even better Series Five. | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? Syntax and LJ---Having discovered Audiogon only relatively recently, I am SO grateful the Forums are still here to be read. The depth of knowledge and expertise found in them is truly amazing. I hope the Forums are kept available long enough into ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? She was fantastic Spencer, as were her accompanists. A really good guitarist on Gibson acoustic and Gretsch electric (into a small Fender combo amp---looked like a Deluxe), and pianist on an acoustic grand and electronic with Leslie rotating-speak... |
