| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? And then there's the Quad 57. | |
| Sanders magtech or odyssey kismet Thanks, I believe I'll do that. I'm about to set up a pair of Tympani IV's, and am gonna need more amp! Only for the two bass panels, so the amp doesn't need a great midrange and high end. Maybe a Pro amp like a Crown will do. They're cheap. | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good A favorite subject of mine. Just off the top of my head:The Band (big surprise ;-): Music From Big Pink; S/T (the brown album)Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited; Blonde On Blonde; John Wesley Harding; Nashville Skyline. And that’s just in the 60’s!Jo... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? True for bass Don, but that compromises the highs. As in most things Hi-Fi, it's a balancing act. That's the art of transformer design. | |
| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? Two points:- The Rythmik sub plate amp allows for high-level hook-up to binding posts (on the main speaker’s power amp), like Rel’s.- OB/Dipole subs (such as the GR Research/Rythmik), their figure-of-8 radiation pattern creating a null to each sid... | |
| sexiest sounding female vocalists? Yeah, agree with Lucinda and Kasey Chambers. Also Sam Phillips and Julie Miller. And, if I allow myself to admit, Shania Twain. Then there is Maria Muldaur ("Don't You Feel My Leg"!) and, perhaps surprisingly, Tammy Wynette. | |
| Sanders magtech or odyssey kismet Bombaywalla---Does the voltage-centric nature of the Sanders design make it a less-than-optimum match for the current-hungry Magneplanar speakers? | |
| Top 10 Alt-country bands I have to mention The Everly Brothers, from whom lots of Bands and Groups (The Beatles merely copied the brothers and Buddy Holly), including Alt. Country ones, got their harmony formula. Of course, the brothers got their harmony from the old Blue... | |
| CJ ET-3 mods? A Mullard tube might be nice. | |
| Bookshelf speakers and record player for Marantz 2245 receiver? I would give a listen to the new ELAC B5 and B6 speakers, and look for an old AR turntable. | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists Bon Scott for me. But if Rock can include Rock ’n’ Roll and it’s Father Rhythm & Blues, Howlin’ Wolf and Big Joe Turner, then Johnny Burnette (the best "screamer" I’ve ever heard) and 1950's Elvis Presley. | |
| I admit it, I get skin orgasms. This is only somewhat related, but I have long been aware that the number one major difference between live music and reproduced is, for me at least, the lack of "physicality" in reproduced---the lack of feeling the music physically in one's body ... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl I gotta get me a mono cartridge. I have a fair number of original-pressing 60's mono LP's (Beach Boys, Kinks, Manfred Mann---a great Group) that I've always listened to with my Mode control (ARC LS-1) doing the mono-ing. With Decca and London cart... | |
| Top 10 Alt-country bands Absolutely Slaw. The Byrds were pioneers with their Notorious Byrd Brothers and Sweethearts of the Rodeo albums, right around the time of Dylan’s John Wesley Harding and The Band’s Music From Big Pink, two other hugely influential Country-ish albu... | |
| AM and FM antenna systems wdebrow---what the couple needs is a directional antenna and a tuner with high alternate-channel selectivity, such as the McIntosh MR78. The MR 78 is easy to find, but I don’t know if there is such a thing as a directional indoor antenna. |
