| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Good point @ketchup, highlighting a mistake I hadn’t realized I made. Yes, a high pass filter must be used if one wants to relieve any loudspeaker the duty of reproducing low frequencies. That filter may be installed in between a power amp and the... | |

| Songs with excellent advice? "If You Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul. The rest of the line is "for the rest of your life, get an ugly girl to marry you." Some of us don’t enjoy the luxury of a choice in such matters. ;-) | |

| The one, the only Garth Hudson. Yeah Bill, especially that of Richard Manuel, whose suicide brought me to tears. The only death of a musician I've cried about. | |

| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? There is a rule-of-thumb (a formula in acoustical engineering terms) for how far one must be from the wall behind the listening position when using diffusion rather than absorption. I didn’t bother to memorize it, as it told me I couldn’t use diff... | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? ^ Exactly ditto. Except that I have added a DIY ultrasonic to my HW-17, using the latter to dry the LP after cleaning in the former. For really dirty used LP’s I pre-clean in the kitchen sink (well, above the sink) using the info in the Neil Antin... |
