| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs OMG jafant---Of course, "Day Tripper"! One of the first I learned (after "Wipeout" and "Money"). | |
| Sunfire HRS-10 or SVS SB-2000 The Rythmik subs are gaining in popularity amongst planar owners, They are very "fast", the patented Direct Servo Feedback design keeping the cone under tight control. The space between notes is not filled in with inter-transient noise, and the co... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Right oblgny, pride of ownership is a big part of the McIntosh allure. I still have a warm spot in my heart for the C26 and 2100, and if I found them cheap might buy just to look at. They're so pretty! I have an MR78 (with the Modafferi update) an... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately In the very early 70’s I had a McIntosh C26 pre and 2100 power amp. Then Audio Research came to town, and their SP3 and D75 made the Mac’s sound decidedly average. Still beautiful to look at (to my taste), and probable STILL working fine, but noth... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Barnes & Noble now have LP displays! The sound of any given LP is determined by the record label. Sony is putting out LP's, but I doubt they have theirs mastered the way Mobile Fidelity does. Good luck getting any information from Sony about h... | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid Century Stereo! I used to go there all the time in the late 60’s-early 70’s. The Audible Difference in Palo Alto too, where in 1971 I heard the Infinity Servo-tatics driven by SAE electronics (Audio Research hadn’t made it to the West Coast quite ... | |
| Desperately needed quality amp stands!! If you want to isolate the amp from the floor (and why wouldn't you?!), and aren't adverse to a very slight amount of DIY, the following will make a great amp stand:1- Buy a sheet of 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood, and have the supplier (a small indepe... | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have Having recently turned 65 has changed my perspective quite a bit. Awareness of my mortality, impending eventual death, and number of hours left here to listen to music, has resulted in me letting go of the impulse to buy equipment, and to instead ... | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Bought and paid for, Schubert. Ted Cruz's wife works for one of "them" (Goldman Sachs I believe). You think he's going to "fix" Wall Street?! Hillary made $600,000 in speaking fees last year from one of them. They're her "peeps". You think Trump i... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately tubegroover---I didn’t make my point very well. The McIntosh tube electronics of the 50’s and 60’s were unquestionably among the best available at the time, and found in true audiophile systems. And Frank and Gordon were creative, inventive, excel... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... In a very early Stereophile, Gordon Holt (a good recording engineer himself) showed a graphic equalizer as it was adjusted in a studio during a recording. He then showed the measured frequency response of the monitors in the studio. He pointed out... | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Unregulated Wall Street was making a fortune. They were also paying a fortune in bribes, oh, I mean campaign contributions, to Politicians. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I saw a short segment on Rachel Maddows show recently (I think it was), wherein an activist was promoting the idea that non-racist is not the same as anti-racist. | |
| Best speakers for $3000 One problem with the LX521 is that it requires six channels of amplification---three stereo power amps. That nullifies it's low price. | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately McIntosh has never been considered a sound-first product. It has always been about quality of construction and aesthetics. Audiophiles in the 60's bought Marantz, not Mac. When they went solid state, only non-audiophiles bought Mac. It looked real... |
