| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Good points ct, and all true. I mention the DIY OB subs only for those already contemplating the Linkwitz loudspeakers, as they too are available only as kits. | |
| Where are the passive subs? The last passives I heard of were the HSU's of the 90's. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? For anyone liking the Linkwitz speakers, but wanting either planars instead, or a system with less complexity and channels of amplification, here is an alternative:The coolest part of the Linkwitz’s are their Open Baffle/Dipole woofers. The other ... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Spencer---Actually, in my post way up above I mentioned placing a trio of roller bearings (the generic term for what Symposium calls their Roller Block) between the pre-amp and Baltic Birch plywood shelf I suggested. I didn’t name a specific brand... | |
| The Beach Boys Amen fjn04! Brian Wilson has probably been the most important music maker in my life. The Beach Boys were the first group I saw live, in 1964, and Brian was still playing bass and singing with the Group at that time. I even made a pilgrimage to Br... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Thanks gjrad, I'll look it up. | |
| I want to introduce my nephew to hi end with your help! I know one can drink beer on the street in New Orleans. The bums in NYC drink their wine on the sidewalks, and I'll bet joints are openly smoked in San Francisco, and perhaps Portland Oregon! | |
| The Beach Boys I too am sure Brian would. Should we not listen to Smile because of that?! Do you fault McCartney for going to the Smile premiere in London a few years back? Was McCartney embracing abuse by doing so? Should no one ever again read, say, Alice in W... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Geoff---When you say "I can do it cheaper and better" and "My springs are the lightest in the business", may I take that to mean you market such a product? Can you direct me to a site, or provide contact/product info? | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components The cheapest way to get great isolation: two Baltic Birch plywood shelves with a barely inflated bicycle tire between them, with a trio of roller bearings between the pre-amp and the top BB shelf (this design courtesy of Barry Diament). If you hav... | |
| Should I build plinths or screw spikes into cabinet? A DIY version of the Seismic Bars could be a pair of Baltic Birch plywood shelves separated by a very slightly inflated bicycle tire in between them. With a trio of roller bearings between the speaker and top shelf you will have excellent isolatio... | |
| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! Yup Marty, I do buy your point. Mozart is the master of the piano concerto and sonata. I actually prefer harpsichord to piano though, and am very grateful for the "authenticity" movement that brought back the instrument. Such sophistication and di... | |
| The Beach Boys fjn04---Sunflower is my favorite Beach Boys album these days. I can’t tell you how eagerly anticipated it was at the time of it’s release (1970), their first after moving from Capitol Records (who were STILL promoting them as "The No. 1 Surf Group... | |
| The Beach Boys Well said, everyone!Tostadosunidos: "Kokomo"---What a piece of junk! Mike claims he was as responsible for the Beach Boys 60’s hits as was Brian. "Kokomo" is what Mike sounds like without Brian. When hearing Mike’s voice in a Beach Boys song, I of... | |
| I want to introduce my nephew to hi end with your help! Well, czarivey, THAT should certainly elicit some responses. |
