| Speakers that open up at low volume levels Jeff---The ET LFT-8, an excellent loudspeaker with a for-some-reason very low profile. You're right, it's rather inefficient, yet imo sounds better at low volume (as well as high!) than Magneplanar's 1.7, a very similiar low-efficiency planar. A l... | |
| Tonearm recommendation The best place to damp the arm/cartridge is at the headshell---the rational for the Townshend Rock turntable. The trough of silicon damping fluid is viscous enough to drastically reduce the resonance exhibited by all phono systems, but not so grea... | |
| Speaker Pairing to Tube amp (Please help) Two of the three stores having never heard of Rega needn't make you wonder if you are even looking at the right brands, but rather at the right stores! | |
| Audio Research service ARC lost the remote? Lame! | |
| Review: Bedini Electronics BA-801 Amplifier I still have the little 25/25, a popular choice for the original ("57") Quad loudspeaker. | |
| JL Audio e112 compared to SV Sound SB-13 subwoofers No, but there IS a comparison between the SVS SB-13 Ultra and the Rythmik F15HP. I don't recall where I saw it, but a Google search should bring it up. | |
| Dan Hicks has passed away. All true. And, his albums Where's The Money and Striking It Rich feature unusually good sound, a pleasant surprise. I saw him live in a converted movie theater near San Jose City College in '73, and he had added a good jazz drummer to his band. Th... | |
| Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle Danny Richie, open baffle loudspeaker and woofer/subwoofer designer at GR Research, is a strong advocate of baffles built to have their resonant frequency outside the passband of the driver(s) mounted on them. He routinely uses two layers of 3/4" ... | |
| In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated Most of the comments here are made in regard to the treatment of midrange and high frequencies. The real serious problem in a small space is in the bass frequencies, the result of room dimensions. A very good explanation and discussion of that sub... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately I’m hoping when I get set up in Vancouver/Portland there are some good stations worthy of my MR78. FM radio is still a great way to learn of new artists and music. College stations are usually much better than commercial (the one in Northridge in ... | |
| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs OMG jafant---Of course, "Day Tripper"! One of the first I learned (after "Wipeout" and "Money"). | |
| Sunfire HRS-10 or SVS SB-2000 The Rythmik subs are gaining in popularity amongst planar owners, They are very "fast", the patented Direct Servo Feedback design keeping the cone under tight control. The space between notes is not filled in with inter-transient noise, and the co... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Right oblgny, pride of ownership is a big part of the McIntosh allure. I still have a warm spot in my heart for the C26 and 2100, and if I found them cheap might buy just to look at. They're so pretty! I have an MR78 (with the Modafferi update) an... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately In the very early 70’s I had a McIntosh C26 pre and 2100 power amp. Then Audio Research came to town, and their SP3 and D75 made the Mac’s sound decidedly average. Still beautiful to look at (to my taste), and probable STILL working fine, but noth... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Barnes & Noble now have LP displays! The sound of any given LP is determined by the record label. Sony is putting out LP's, but I doubt they have theirs mastered the way Mobile Fidelity does. Good luck getting any information from Sony about h... |
