| Bass traps - too many choices!! That's a very interesting review, George. I wonder though why the trap needs to be priced at two grand. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Great post! Have you heard of roller bearings (or perhaps Geoffrey’s springs)? They’re good under tube phono stages---isolation from micro-vibrations. Townshend’s Seismic Pod Isolators too, but they’re a little over-priced imo. Not in terms of cos... | |
| For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s. The Infinity 2000A! They had the great RTR ESL tweeters I mentioned above, which blew my young mind. I wanted them SO bad, but had to settle for the lesser 1001 model, without the RTR's. Mel was one of the handful of early high end dealers in the ... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Hell yeah pehare! Mighty fine album, produced by the great Buddy Miller. A+! Solomon’s early albums were produced by another great, Jerry Wexler, and the band on those records is the fantastic Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, the best studio band in ... | |
| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? For the same price you can get a used pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8b’s, the best-kept secret in hi-fi. New price $2499, used maybe $1500. Better than not just the .7, but the 1.7 as well. Honest. | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... See what the cable maker(s) say. | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I don’t want anyone listening with me, intently or otherwise. Is that sad? I want to become one with the music, it totally inhabiting my soul. If there is anyone else in the room (which has only a single chair anyway---for me), that’s not gonna ha... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good hifijones---Did you get to see Rockpile live? Oh baby!Too fun, here’s yet more:Howlin’ Wolf: Moanin’ In The MoonlightBig Joe Turner (Doc Pomus: "Rock and Roll would not have happened without him". I myself consider him the first R & R singer):... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? $100-$150 fuses ;-). | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd True in theory Ralph, but in practice for a speaker to, say, be appropriate for Rock music I would say it has to be able to play LOT louder than it does to be able to play solo harpsichord music. I have Quad 57's for Baroque, but they are unsuitab... | |
| Dynamics In A Speaker Isn't sensitivity/efficiency a huge factor in a speaker's perceived dynamicism (is that a word ;-?)? | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? I believe I already offered this one, but it bears repeating, especially as my bother-in-law has just been diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, with six months to live.From the hillbilly genius Hank Williams:"No matter how I struggle and strive... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? The only guys spending 10k on speaker cables have already spent far more than that on amps and speakers. Hey, I'd love a pair of 8' Kimber KS 6068's, but they retail for more than my entire system! | |
| Tube Amp for about a grand? Check with Frank Van Alstine. | |
| Pet Sounds at 50--NPR video Great little documentary! When Brian plays the chords to "God Only Knows" (my absolute number one all-time favorite song) on the piano, without the other parts you can really hear how incredible the chords are. Just insanely great, music as good a... |
