| What sonic qualities connects to you deeply and emotionally? Lyrics like those in "No Time To Cry" by Iris Dement. Just about my favorite musical technique is the bassist playing inversions (playing not the root note of the chord being played by the piano, but one of the other notes in the scale of the key... | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. @1971gto455ho: I wouldn't dream of arguing your points (lifting cables off the floor may be for those looking for the last 1% their system is capable of). I brought the High Chair to the attention of Audiogon members after seeing how close in stru... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey And don't forget fellas, if you already have a turntable shelf you really like (the carbon fiber one from BDR, for instance), you may use four of the individual Seismic Pods under that shelf. Much cheaper than the Seismic Platform. And if your l... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. Well said @simonmoon. | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? Holst's The Planets, Sir Adrian Boult conducting The New Philharmonia Orchestra with Chorus. EMI ASD 2301. | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. @johnk: the OB/Dipole Sub CAN be confusing. The wiring of both the 2 or 3 woofers and the servo-feedback circuit has to be done correctly, or the sub won’t work properly. But the wiring diagram has been posted numerous times on the GR Research web... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. @dz13: One thing Danny is criticized for IS resigning some of the loudspeakers sent him. His critics ask: what makes him (or us) think he knows more about designing than the engineers at, say, Klipsch? Well, in his videos on various Klipsch model... | |
| Listening to music with loud feedback as a tinnitus sufferer My tinnitus sounds just like tape hiss or FM radio inter-channel noise. Not debilitating, but annoying. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon: Josie Cotton's Convertible Music! I've had the album since it's initial release (love her hairdo, makeup, and outfit, and the T-Bird she's sitting in on the cover ;-), as well as the 12" 45 of "Johnnie Are You Queer" on Bomp Records that p... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. And he charges no fee for the design work he puts into the loudspeakers sent him for evaluation, just the parts needed to implement his "fix" should the loudspeaker owner decide to move forward with the upgrade. I'm sure the owner pays shipping bo... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. ^ + 1 ! | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @quattro: I have a bunch of Peter’s recordings, made for Levinson, Audiofon, and Harmonia Mundi. Excellent sound and music. | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. @willywonka: Like me? ;-) I hear ya. I have learned an awful lot from his videos though, and the OB/Dipole sub he and Brian Ding of Rythmik Audio collaborated on is really special. | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update There were a fair number of negative reviews of MoFi Lp’s before the digital step was revealed. Michael Fremer was removed from MoFi’s promo list because of his panning of certain MoFi titles. Analogue Productions, Speakers Corner, Intervention R... | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? John Atkinson made the point to Gordon Holt that the sound made by an electric guitar plugged into an amplifier was just as much an acoustic signal as is an acoustic instrument, and he was correct. But recorded sounds produced purely electronicall... |
