| Subwoofer SVS SB13Ultra vs JL Fathom F110V2 ctro---Jim Salk puts the Rythmik guts (15" servo-feedback woofer and 600w plate amp combo) into his own sealed enclosure, which has much more bracing than the Rythmik box and greater internal volume (4cu.ft. versus Rythmik's 3cu.ft.), for more eff... | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm How long has VPI been making pickup arms? And they still can't make a headshell correctly? | |
| Do we love our components more then ourselves ??? I just moved 1100 miles, and won't breathe easy until I have my music collection back in my possession (like you, in climate-controlled storage at the moment). Equipment is replaceable, 5,000-10,000 LP's and CD's not so easy. | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades help. Some Rega owners like the sound of the stock glass platter, others prefer either of the two GT platters. They are very well made, and relatively reasonably priced. | |
| Tube Amps vs Sanders ESL Amp for Electrostatics Roger Modjeski (Music Reference) is making an ESL speaker with an integral direct-drive (no output transformer) tube amp. I'll bet it's killer! | |
| 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... |
