| 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... | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid Century Stereo! I used to go there all the time in the late 60’s-early 70’s. The Audible Difference in Palo Alto too, where in 1971 I heard the Infinity Servo-tatics driven by SAE electronics (Audio Research hadn’t made it to the West Coast quite ... | |
| Desperately needed quality amp stands!! If you want to isolate the amp from the floor (and why wouldn't you?!), and aren't adverse to a very slight amount of DIY, the following will make a great amp stand:1- Buy a sheet of 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood, and have the supplier (a small indepe... | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have Having recently turned 65 has changed my perspective quite a bit. Awareness of my mortality, impending eventual death, and number of hours left here to listen to music, has resulted in me letting go of the impulse to buy equipment, and to instead ... | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Bought and paid for, Schubert. Ted Cruz's wife works for one of "them" (Goldman Sachs I believe). You think he's going to "fix" Wall Street?! Hillary made $600,000 in speaking fees last year from one of them. They're her "peeps". You think Trump i... |
