| 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... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved "the who---their bombast and operatic and operatic seriousness can get fatiguing". Ain’t it the truth! That trait spoiled The Who for me when it appeared in the "Won’t Get Fooled Again" era, though "Tommy" hinted at it. Townshend’s writing became ... | |
| Speltz Zero Autoformer with Tenor OTL 75 I’m sure Ralph will comment (though he already offered information on the difference between the Zero Autoformer and the output transformers in tube amps just above---did you miss it?), but may I say that when you say "non electrostatic speakers" ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Speaking of Kevin Gordon (see oblgny’s post above), the original studio album Down To The Well is a perfect album---all prime Grade A beef, no filler. The album is an absolute K..I..L..L..E..R !! Kevin’s a great songwriter and singer in the style ... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? And too you kirkus, for this great tutorial! Thanks. | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? I don't know about advantages (if any) provided by a true differential balanced circuit, but EAR-Yoshino designer Tim de Paravacini (who does a lot of work in the pro recording field) chooses to use single-ended circuits, with balanced inputs and ... | |
| Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp Congratulations! I heard the Sanders system at last years T.H.E. Show, and for the first time in years was filled with lust for a new speaker. They are really, really good. |
