| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @ericsch: Small world! In 1071 I heard the 2000A at the same shop in Palo Alto: Sound Systems was it's name. They were running all their speakers (including the Infinity Servo-Static I's) with SAE electronics.The 2000A used a number of the wonderf... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops An anti-static gun is almost a must-have for LP owners. Just dusting the LP with a brush can create a static charge. The Milty Zerostat is acceptable, but the Furutech DeStat III is imo better. Not cheap, however. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @fikki: The MG3.6 can easily be bi-amped (unlike the series-crossover .7 series Maggies, the .6’s have parallel crossovers). Use a brute amp on the bass drivers, your D-70 on the midrange/tweeters. In almost all loudspeakers, the majority of the p... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Oops, forgot about the Clear Day Double Shotgun Speaker Cables. Pure silver, 8ft. pair, used for $300. | |
| Advice for an aspiring musician And see as much live music as you can. Watching musicians perform live often reveals to you their "secrets". ;-) | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. @sandpat: 1- To get rid of the wrinkles you adjust the LFT driver tensioning mechanism. 2- I take it you don’t have the speakers mounted on the stands made by Sound Anchors specifically for the LFT-8b? Get a pair, they’re pretty cheap! 3- Grant... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often A good way to make any given loudspeaker an easier load is to remove the low frequencies from both it and the power amp driving them. Yes, a separate woofer/subwoofer for 80 or 100Hz down. Most of the power demands of many loudspeakers is used to ... | |
| Fender Blues JR IV or fender 94’ twin. For those wanting to hear what great songwriters look for in their accompanying musicians/band, take a listen to the deep, Deep, DEEP groove Ry, Nick, and Jim create in "Memphis In The Meantime". Astoundingly great! Then listen to Ry’s little guit... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @ozzy: Love The Bottle Rockets! I never managed to see them live (I don't think they ever made it to the West Coast), but have six of their albums (on CD. LP purists: see why you should have a CD player? ;-). | |
| Fender Blues JR IV or fender 94’ twin. @edcyn: OMG, Norman’s Rare Guitars! I use to go there just to look and drool. When in 2009 I decided to sell my 1968 Fender Precision Bass I took it into the shop. They offered me only $1500, so I put in on ebay and got $3500 for it. I had bought ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Erik: Very much agree about Infinities. I had a pair of the RS-1b’s, which so many people think were/are great. Anyone thinking about getting a pair: be prepared to have them reconditioned. Many of the EMIT and EMIM drivers are now unusable, havin... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? @tomic601: Jim, I hadn't seen that statement before, and I LOVE it! Leonard Cohen, I presume? Bob Dylan considers Cohen a very spiritual being. | |
| Seeking Recommendations For A Record Cleaner My recommendation is the combination of the Pro-Ject VC-S2 ALU (currently on sale for $499 at Music Direct) and the Humminguru ultrasonic. | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? "2 hours a week at the most"? Guess you’re not really a music lover. We have evidence of that in your going on to say ".....to enjoy the system I spent $$$ to build. How do you find time to enjoy your system?" So you spent $$$ to have a system... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Erik, guess you don't like Maggies, Apogees, Infinity IRS, or Wilson WAMM?---Eric. |
