| MM/MI Phono Stages Being a dedicated user of a very high output pickup, I like you did not want to pay for an extra gain stage (or step-up transformer) I wouldn't be using. So I gave Keith Herron a call to see if he had the long-since discontinued VTPH-1mm laying ar... | |
| how do you handle your clean records? There are two ways to remove an LP from it’s inner sleeve: with your left hand (if you’re right handed) tilt the LP in it’s sleeve and let it slide out, an edge of the LP coming to rest in the palm of your right hand.....or with that right hand re... | |
| Should Manufacturer's Tell Us More About Crossovers Bruce Thigpen, designer and maker of the high-value best-buy Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker, not only describes that speaker's crossover but puts a diagram of it on his website for all the world to see. Nothing to hide, unlike the maker of ... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Oops! The formula is actually 1/(2 x pi x f x z), where f = desired frequency, and z = amp's input impedance. Misread my own writing! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Rembrandts did the theme song for the TV show Friends, and had another hit single, I believe (but can’t for the life of me recall the song). They kinda seem to me like an American version of Squeeze. For anyone trying to follow the musical thr... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The Grays! Okay ghosthouse, you win. You must also know about Great Buildings, the group Danny Wilde and Phil Solem were in before The Rembrandt’s. The singer/songwriter I was playing with in 1980-1 loved GB, so we went to their show at The Starwo... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Here’s the formula for determining the value of the capacitor (in pf) you need to solder onto your amp’s input jacks (the interior of the amp is the best location) to achieve the 6dB/octave filtering:1/(2 x pi x f x 2), where f = the desired "corn... | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Sure. I believe you can send me a pm through the Audiogon system. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists I prefer to think of Blues as the father of Rock 'n' Roll, Hillbilly (Country & Western) it's mother ;-) . | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Good catch Kenny---your thought had occurred to me after my last post. One point of stating how well the OB/Dipole Sub works with planars is because they (planars) are so notoriously difficult with which to get a sub to blend seamlessly. If a sub ... | |
| Good used Pre-Amp? Price Range $1500.00 to $2000.00 Goldhawk---the ARC you listed (PH-3) in a phono stage, not a line. The ARC LS-15 and LS-16 line stages regularly sell for around $1500. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists The only death of a musical person which brought me to tears was Richards. What a loss. | |
| subs for LFT-8bs Relieving your Quicksilver of bass frequencies will allow much more of it’s power to be available for the ET’s. That will require adding not just a sub or two, but a passive 1st order 6dB/octave high-pass filter (or active x/o) to the input jacks ... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Actually jwt, a pair of the OB/Dipole Sub kits is $1500 shipped, and a pair of the H-Frame flat packs is $600 I believe (I got in on the first few sets made at an introductory price). So it’s about $2100 for a pair of the OB/Dipole Subs and really... | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists Oh, well, with Van Morrison you're talking about something completely different from what I thought the topic was. Van Morrison---a Rock/Hard Rock/Metal/Progressive singer? I think of him as a Soul or R & B singer, one of a handful of Brits (o... |
