| Subwoofer hunt For more output than the E15HP (and F15HP, with a slightly larger enclosure) provides via it’s single 15" driver and 600w amp, Rythmik currently also offers the F25, with twin 15" drivers each driven by it’s own 400w amp. The E15, F15, and F25 are... | |
| Magneplanar speaker terminals. is there an adapter to.... One problem with the Maggy terminals is that some of the parts are ferrous. Getting rid of the whole terminal assembly reportedly greatly improves the sound of the speakers, but requires surgery. | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? I haven’t smoked in many years (makes me paranoid), but I knew someone who worked at a dispensary in ’07. One of the shop’s suppliers also had private, individual clients, to whom he would make home deliveries. One such client was a very well-know... | |
| REL high-level connection and McIntosh Autoformers The Rythmik PEQ3 plate amp also allows high-level hookup (along with line-level). | |
| Subwoofer hunt Good point af32. A good way to filter the very low bass from your main speakers without going through a x/o is with the simple installation of a capacitor (the value of which can be determined from the formula available all over the 'net) on the i... | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles I hear ya oleschool. Though getting a pair of those molded ear plugs made (which allow 5-10-15-20dB attenuation via little changeable discs) made in my early 30's, a certain amount of permanent damage had already been done (thanks Jimi!). My tinni... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Swampwater---it was with his Big Band that I last saw Lyle, and what a band it was! What makes a band that good is just what makes Russ Kunkel such a good drummer---what each musician plays serves the song above all, the parts being "musical", ser... | |
| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? Right you are Tony, the Sigma. Pretty goofy looking, and really bulky. I should have known better, still owning a pair of Lambda Pros! | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Depends on the music. For lots of commercial "Pop" music, the lowest note in a recording may well be the open E string of a standard 4-string Bass (electric or standup), which produces a 42Hz tone. For Classical organ works recorded in a Church, t... | |
| ARC Ref 210...tube virgin I believe the ARC design team feels fuses on output power tubes cause an unacceptable loss of sound quality in their amps. They prefer to sacrifice a resistor (or more) to protect the rest of the amp rather than sacrifice the loss in sq they have ... | |
| What in the world is going on..... Taste is a very personal thing, not everyone has to like the same players. I find Van Halen to be a very unmusical player, but that’s just my taste. I prefer lyricism and subtlety in my playing. I part with most people in also not caring for Jimi ... | |
| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? The old Stax Lambda Pro's, which put the drivers in front of the ears, pointing not straight unto the ear canal, but slightly toward the backside of the wearer's head. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Swampwater---Isn’t Lyle live just SO fine?! Great dry humor, too. When I saw him Kunkel was playing drums, great as ever (for you who aren’t familiar with Russ’ name, he was with Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor in the 70’s, and it is he playing th... | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Vintage idler wheel drive turntable (Thorens 124, Garrard 301 and 401, Lenco) enthusiasts (including Art Dudley) cite the design's "forward momentum"/"rythmik drive" sound characteristic, supposedly a result of the high torque nature of idler whee... | |
| How to: Pack Vinyl Collection for Shipment on Boat Don't do it! Double box them, then arrange to have them shipped by air in Winter. If they sit on the deck of a boat for three weeks in Summer, they WILL be warped, very possibly no longer playable. |
