| Whats playing on your system today? You are so right, ghosthouse. The Band imo (and I'm not alone) are the finest self-contained (writing the songs, playing the music, singing the lyrics) Rock 'n' Roll ensemble the genre has produced. Three great singers (especially Richard Manuel),... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? A lot of great amps listed here. I have ended up with some that work for me with various speakers, each needing a certain kind of amp. A Bedini 25/25 for old Quads (though I’m looking to get a Music Reference RM-10), PS Audio 200C and Electron Kin... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Band’s Moondog Matinee was their reaction and response to the 50’s revival that was going on in the early 70’s. As The Hawks (both backing Ronnie Hawkins and on their own) from 1960 until Dylan hired them as his (heh) band for his 1966 Europea... | |
| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? The DC300 (or 300A) was often used with the first version of the Infinity Servo-Static 1 (and also the 1A), until the early SAE electronics arrived in the very early 70’s and found favor amongst Infinity dealers. When Audio Research arrived in Cal... | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's The Rythmik plate amp has "High Level Inputs", allowing you to take the signal for any of the Rythmik subs (sealed, ported, and the OB/Dipole model) from the output terminals on your Quicksilver (and most other) power amps, just as the Rels do. Th... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Joan Osborne live with the Motown House Band: "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted".Joan live at a radio station (video on You Tube): "Shake Your Hips". | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's I'm mostly with you timber. There is one very special sub that is THE sub for use with planars, but at about $2000 a pair, and a DIY kit at that, I didn't think sonicsoul would be interested. It is the OB/Dipole Sub offered by GR Research in conju... | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 Good one Ralph, I'm with ya :-) ! But it's Magneplanar, with an e. I see that all the time. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Subwoofers "voiced"? There is no voicing possible at subwoofer frequencies. Danny Richie of GR Research addressed this issue recently on his website, in regards to the x/o mod he designed for the new Elac speakers. Voicing involves frequency range... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Replacing x/o parts for higher quality ones is a high-return-for-money-spent tactic. But there’s a further step that can be taken: Danny Richie of GR Research, well known for his x/o designs, not only makes cross-overs with improved parts, but off... | |
| Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's The budget Rel's I looked at have a passive radiator in addition to an active, a bad idea with speakers as good as yours. The SVS SB2000 is just another average budget sub---a woofer and an amp in a box. For the same $ you can get a Rythmik Servo-... | |
| How to sell fuse on Audiogon? Wow, that's interesting cz. Guitarists are used to seeing high priced Fenders and Gibsons, but the most collectible snare drum is the Ludwig Deluxe from the 1920's (also incorrectly referred to as a Black Beauty), worth no more than about $5,000 (... | |
| How to sell fuse on Audiogon? In the Vintage Drum field, some greedy sellers "part out" a perfectly good drum, the individual components collectively being worth more than the complete drum itself. It’s a disgraceful practice, and sellers who do it are shunned by their more pr... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Right LJ, on Sell Out they still were playing in their "hold back until the last possible moment" style, which they did better than just about anyone else. They create an incredible amount of tension, letting it build up inside until it just can’t... |
